Tobacco Seeds – Perique (Rare Fermented Variety)
Perique is a unique and rare Nicotiana tabacum variety, renowned for its distinctive fermentation process and robust flavor profile. Originating exclusively from St. James Parish, Louisiana, Perique is often referred to as the “truffle of pipe tobaccos” due to its rich, spicy, and fruity characteristics.
Description and Characteristics:
• Plant Structure: Perique plants exhibit a robust, upright growth habit, reaching heights of approximately 5 to 6 feet. The plant features broad, slightly puckered leaves that are ideal for the unique pressure-fermentation process.
• Leaf Quality: The leaves are light green during growth and, after fermentation, develop a dark, almost black hue. They possess a smooth texture and are known for their complex flavor profile, contributing to a rich and pleasant smoking experience.
• Flavor Profile: Perique offers a robust, spicy, and fruity flavor with notes of plum and fig, making it perfect for blending or standalone use.
• Adaptability: This variety is adaptable to various climates and demonstrates consistent performance with proper care.
Cultivation Guidelines:
1. Seed Germination: Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost. Press seeds lightly onto the soil surface without covering, as they require light for germination.
2. Soil Requirements: Perique thrives in well-drained, fertile soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.0. Adding organic matter can enhance growth and yield.
3. Sunlight and Watering: Provide full sunlight and consistent watering to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged.
4. Harvesting and Fermentation: Harvest leaves individually as they mature, starting from the lower ones. The traditional Perique fermentation process involves pressure-fermenting the leaves in oak barrels for several months to develop its unique flavor profile.
Why Choose Perique Tobacco?
Perique stands as a testament to traditional tobacco cultivation excellence. Its robust flavor, aromatic leaves, and adaptability make it an ideal choice for both novice and experienced growers aiming to produce high-quality tobacco. Whether for personal enjoyment or artisanal tobacco production, Perique offers a rewarding cultivation experience.
