It's funny. When I first started smoking I tried a good bit of GH and Peretti and the soapy floral stuff disagreed with me violently. It would literally make me gag. Fast forward 6 years or so and my taste buds evolved to really enjoy itPiping Abe wrote: ↑Fri Aug 11, 2023 12:05 pmPeretti is a hidden gem. I can’t wait to get their Holiday Blend this year along with some new stuff to try. I wish I got it last year. Yuletide changes every year but last year I heard is was chocolate mint.

Burley ... woody , nutty
Virginia .. Hay , lemon , grassy
Oriental ... earthy
Latakia ... smokey
