Even with the centuries of tradition in pipe tobacco, experimentation has a place. Peter Stokkebye sources the best Virginias from around the world and blends them with Louisiana Perique. That mix is, then, pressed around unflavored Cavendish. The whole combination is cut into coins. Knowledge of the manufacturing processes allows Peter Stokkebye to produce a blend uniquely suited for its finished cut.
I like coin cut for its packing options. You can put a couple of them together or break them up. Either way, Bull's Eye Flake spreads the Cavendish throughout the blend. This blending smooths the edges between Virginia and Perique while keeping the body around a mild +. The flavor, for me, becomes more citrus-y as the spicy Perique mixes with the Golden Virginas. Get a few ounces of this for a great introduction to Perique or an all-day favorite.
