Vaperizer

Vaperizer is a Virginia-Perique blend from Gerd Jansens Pfeifendepot. The name reflects this concept: selected Virginia leaves are joined by a notable pinch of Perique. The tobacco is sold as a 100 gram pressed block, or plug, and needs to be sliced and rubbed out before smoking.

The maker rates its strength as medium. Pressing melds the Virginia's sweetness with Perique's plummy, spicy edge; since no flavoring is used, the taste comes entirely from the leaf itself. It is aimed at smokers willing to spend the time preparing a plug and who are seeking an intense Virginia-Perique profile.
