Exclusive

Exclusive is one of the blends where Cornell & Diehl pushes the perique ratio to an extreme; per available sources, half the mixture is perique. The remainder is made up of red Virginia and soft cavendish, laying a natural sweetness and roundness beneath the spice.

The flavor profile runs along sharp spice, pepper, and dark fruit, though it is noted to smoke cool. It suits experienced smokers looking for perique not as a side ingredient but as the blend's centerpiece; it may prove too much for those unaccustomed to spice at this intensity.
