Gawith Hoggarth’s Kendal Gold Perique Shag is like a wolf in sheep’s clothing. It looks bright and cheerful, but it’s actually quite strong. It’s made from the popular Kendal Gold tobacco, which is from Virginia, and it has a lot of real St. James Parish Perique tobacco in it. Perique is a special kind of tobacco that’s grown in a small part of Louisiana. It’s made by pressing the tobacco leaves in oak barrels and it’s been around for a long time. The Choctaw and early Acadian settlers used this method to keep their tobacco fresh for long periods of time. It’s got a spicy, dark flavour and it’s full of mystery. It pairs well with the golden hay and citrus of the Virginia tobacco, adding a fruity spice and a rich, nose-tingling taste. The shag cut makes it burn quickly and evenly, but don’t puff too hard - Perique has a way of showing off when you’re not careful. It’s a great choice for people who like their tobacco natural and complex, spirited but calm. It’s a tobacco that’s for the smart smokers. It’s unflavored, honest, and it’s made in Kendal, so it speaks for itself. But it leaves a lasting impression that goes beyond its strength.
