Perique goes through quite the process before it's ready to smoke. Here's a quick look at how that figgy, spicy goodness makes it into blends like Bayou Morning, Bourbon Bleu, and Chenet's Cake.
Just noticed Public Piper's (David) video of his Part II visit of new C&D location! What a great follow up to part 1 tour of C&D. What a great privilege indeed! We're fortunate you liked David enough to have him visit again and bring us along. C&D really knows how to connect with us devoted fans beyond the smoke itself. Many of us appreciate your understanding and willingness to take us on a little tour and answer questions. Thank you for taking time to visit with us. Gotta love C&D King of Tobacco Blends.
I love C&D! I have close to 50 of your blends now, and though I've settled on a few favorites, I've yet to come across a single unsmokable tin. Keep up the good work fellas! 👍
I was doing a Google search for some plug tobacco. I came across this video because one out of the two names caught my attention. Might have to get me a pipe. I also enjoyed the video as well.
Love that Perique and can't do without my King of Tobacco Cornell & Diehl blends! Eight of my ten tobaccos in rotation are Cornell & Diehl. Simply the best! Thanks for that great video. Great capture.
Classic and timeless =]. Perique brings me fond memories of Louisiana living and it’s Saint James Parish origins. In terms of products that need to highlight their cultural connections to the land and traditional farming methods some put perique on par with Cuban tobacco.
Thanks for all the informative vids. I read you guys were located in Morganton at one point? That's really cool, it's where I'm living now. You have any memories to share about that time or was it just when you were starting out?
Hey Jeremy. Thank you very much for your very interesting Perique-video. I like a lot of C&D tobaccos, unfortunately they are very hard to get here in Switzerland :o( Thus, I enjoy all of your tobaccos as long as I can and then I make an order when some friends of mine stays in the USA. I very much looking forward seeing you on RU-vid. Happy New Year and Greetings from Zurich/Switzerland, Armin
I think the purpose of the container is to keep the tobacco compacted after they press it down with the press. The process takes a year. They can use the press in the meantime while it sits in the barrel.
So it isn't a type of tobacco but rather a way of curing the tobacco ??? I assumed it was a different variety of tobacco...thanks for the information !!! I just found this channel and expect that I will be learning a bit more.
Informative and well presented. One hopes to see more of these videos. In my experience pipe smokers respond much more positively to real information, rather than the song and dance you usually see. So please keep up the good work: both in blending your fine offerings and informing the public in this intelligent way. Mark
Great video. Does anyone know what makes the C&D Perique taste different than some of the European-produced blends containing Perique? To me, they taste different. Is it age?
Hello ! Tell me why the barrel after bourbon, if the tobacco is in envelope. He will not get the fragrance through the film. Films for food? i do that process too, but i use green foliage. About a month the tobacco is in the juice, then the juice flows through the cracks. Then I start to shift the leaves often. A year later, you get a delicious product. This year I will do according to your technology. To what state do you dry the foliages?
@@cornelldiehlinc9213 sounds and looks like chew. I presume this is allowed to dry a bit and used for pipe smoking, but could you chew it as-is fresh out of the barrel?
You can make this at home. Get a Virginia tobacco and soak it in rum. Fill a large glass container with a pretty tight seal and let it sit outside in direct sun all Summer. Be sure no outside moisture can get in. If the tobacco ends up a dark blue you have done it right.
If they use a charred oak barrel doesn’t lining the barrel with plastic defeat the purpose? After the barrel is disassembled is it reused? Greetings from the great state of Louisiana!🙏🙏🙏
Hey, cool video; I have a question. You said that the barrel is treated, and I saw that the tobacco is wrapped in a clear film. I figure that the flavor from the barrel gets through the film into the tobacco over the year, so that's all well and good. But if that's a plastic film, I wonder what producers did, before plastic was used, to seal the barrel. Maybe a tree sap was used, or something? Just curious.
Do you want the barrel to impart flavor when curing tobacco though? I know this is a component of some alcohol aging but I wasn't aware of this being used in tobacco curing.
Thomas Moore - That's a good question, I want to know as well. Goes to show the ingenuity of the people from the past to come up with this process and make it work with what they had.
@@mygaffer I read somewhere that the Choctaw came up with this and they would use hollowed out trees. I think the wood in the barrel and logs is just more of a vessel to compress it in than something to impart flavor. Just my 2 cents
If you look up the real perqiue from St. Jame's Parish, they don't normally package it in plastic. They are the same as whiskey barrels and will hold liquid well.
Please, please, pleaaaaase, find a way to bring C&D to Brazil. There's no such a thing here, and we are 200 MM people, without First Class tobacco (Mac Baren just begined to be available at 2016).
Is this the Original St.James Parrish perique or an Acadian perique? Coming from Louisiana I suppose is a real perique, but I'd like to know from your voice...
First I was like nice a video of barrel aged cigar tobacco (because I watch a lot of videos about that lately) and then I was like wait you don’t press the tobacco that much and then I panicked because it was torn apart to get it „off“ and then shredded and then I realized it is pipe tobacco xd
