Small Batch: Carolina Red Flake with Perique (2023)

Tune in as Head Blender Jeremy Reeves takes as closer look at this year's edition of Carolina Red Flake with Perique - available Wednesday, September 20th at 6:00 p.m. EDT.
Our tribute to the Old Belt, Carolina Red Flake with Perique showcases two remarkable flue-cured grades - heirloom 2013 Red Virginia tips and matured 2019 Georgian Red-Orange leaf - elevated by a generous portion of genuine St. James Perique. Balancing deep undertones of port wine and stone fruits with highlights of pepper, spice, and citrus, it’s rich, deep, and complex. It’s how a Virginia/Perique flake should be.

I bought the last tin at my local tabacconist. I ve never tried C&D before. So I went home and was like, "ok, Virginia with Perique, know that". I expected something sour, kinda sweet, nothing new to me. Well, what should I say? I had to become 55 yrs, to really got blown away. I never, never, ever smoked anything comparable to this treasure. Thank you very much ❤

Tis the most wonderful time of the year! Thanks, C&D!! 🎉❤🎉

Woo hoo! Got a couple on the way. I've also got my fingers crossed that we'll see a new Scarecrow in a couple weeks here too...

[@kencastania4582]

as always, looking forward to giving this latest iteration a try...

[@TheOmega4ever]

I really enjoy this tobacco! Well done!

[@derricklemmons3809]

This reminds me of Christmas Cheer 2016 with a little more sweetness and a touch of C&D bread. Very nice blend!

My wife is giving birth to our first child in a few short weeks. I'm gonna be in SO much trouble when this comes in the mail.

[@user-nq1vu9xr7m]

If she gives birth to a girl, I’m ready to give you a jar

[@peter-radiantpipes2800]

Waiting on my 7 tins. Wanted more but made a very large order a week before. I’ve got all but ones with Perique and love Perique. Can’t wait for it to arrive.

[@mndfst9433]

Gotta hand it to em. They know how to make new batches feel like a special, limited time event.

[@jerryspipe]

Sounds like you really come up with a winner, here!

[@3stringpiper951]

Hooray!!!! I have some on the way!!!

[@Huanpr]

I want a documentary about perique to be made so bad.

[@sativaamiarodriguez]

Thank you guys for makeing alot of certain small batches. I wouldnt consider 15 or 16,000 tins a small batch but more a limited run. Next time will be 20,000 tins which i appreciate because more will be able to get ahold of it buuutttt will it still be a small batch?

[@Orochi_001]

I only just got into pipes. Any chance this will get a 2024 release?

[@lonestarpiper4917]

Im excited for this one. Hopefully we dont get mold though.

[@Lighter420]

What's the percentage of Perique in this blend? This is easily a top 5 blend for me.

[@norja9671]

👍👍

[@JohnJohn-le1yz]

When is it being released? I want to make sure I’m ready.

[@cornelldiehlinc9213]
