Le Caviar du Tabac de la Louisiane Francaise

Posted by Nathalie Jordi, January 18, 2007

Perique tobacco, 'the 'truffle' of pipe tobacco' according to wikipedia, can only be made in Saint James Parish, Louisiana, and is currently only cultivated on the 16 acres belonging to an old-timer named Percy Martin.

Jade Liquors has begun flavoring brandy with it. Never thought I'd hear the words "terroir of the Mississippi river" used in a press release, but I must admit, it's got a tasty ring to it...
