Perique Cigars still available?

Hi chimps...

Does anyone know if Perique cigars are still sold. I love Perique and would LOVE to try a cigar made from it.

If not available and anyone has some for trade, please PM me and we can work something out.

Kisses and hugs from our nations capitol--

Re: Perique Cigars still available?

yeah...that seems to be them. funny I didn't get that page in my googling. Wonder if the things are any good...their proximity to Phillies worries me, but they are not cheap at $7/stick. Thanks for your help.

Any first-hand tests ou there?

Talk about tobacco on steroids......you could always buy a tin of McClelland's Blending Perique, some rolling papers, one of those gizmos that makes RYO cigarettes, and have a blast...

Re: Perique Cigars still available?

Elie Haddad at Tabacalara Pinar Del Rio seems to have been the manufacturer of the Perique cigar offered by the Big River Trading Company in the late nineties, with a successor (named after Huey Long) being run by Bill Walker:

Kingfish Cigars
631 Royal St., New Orleans, LA 70130-2115
(504) 523-1908

This is just Internet research, so is not checked, definitive, or something you would want to rely on without checking for yourself. Perhaps a CG member in the Crescent City can add some information. The last I heard the only farmer producing Perique tobacco was Percy Martin in 2002, but there has been inclement weather in the area since then:

Dale 'Dog Watch' Rousch has mentioned cigars containing Perique, which is probably the most exquisite aroma I have ever enjoyed in a pipe tobacco.

Re: Perique Cigars still available?

Gents-

I sincerely appreciate the help.

As to why I might like a perique cigar...

The curing process of perique sounds like it might be on par with that of good cigar tobacco. Also, how often can we find true US of A puros? Aw, heck, I'll just pack my pipe.

Re: Perique Cigars still available?

I've smoked a pipe for years now and the only tobac I smoke is C&D Bayou Night. It is a strong perique blend. I love it. I smoke cigs to get a change from the pipe. If you give them a try let me know how they are. Might have to try them too.
