So, I came across this post while doing a simple internet search. In my opinion, it is misleading. I am aware that there is a variety of tobacco known as perique and the idea is it is the variety that is used to make perique down in st James parish. This particular post refers to perique as acidic (incorrect) and the implication that I get is if you grow and cure this leaf the resulting product will be comparable to what comes out of the barrels from st. james parish. I will omit the particular company that this came from. Anyway, beyond all the misleading information, has anyone grown the variety of tobacco known as perique? To my knowledge, it is not currently offered by northwood. I guess I am just making this post because I would potentially be interested in growing a perique variety but I find this provider of said seeds to be questionable…
Edit: I am, for the most part, aware of how the perique process is carried out and how it can potentially be done to ANY tobacco variety.
