Poplar Camp

Poplar Camp is a Virginia-Perique mixture in which Cornell & Diehl keeps the Perique proportion high. Per the maker's listing, Perique at close to twenty percent and a small amount of unflavored black Cavendish are added to Yorktown Virginia. This proportion makes Perique's plum-and-pepper-evoking spice the mixture's main line.

Black Cavendish softens the sharpness and adds richness to the body, while Virginia builds the sweet base. Nicotine sits in the upper band and calls for a slow pace. Prepared for smokers wanting Perique in a heavy rather than measured dose, accustomed to the VaPer line.
