    How did you like that, and does it have perique in it or does araperique mean something else?

    It was fine (Ross 😂).

    A little different from other cigars, but definitely not Stillwell different (thank gawd). The whole "ancient Choctaw" thing I think is BS. I didn't know that the Choctaw had oak whiskey barrels 😂 😂 😂 😂. I also think that their process, as stated by themselves, is just fermentation (stacked and packed). Perdomo has been aging stuff in barrels for years.

    Must have been only one leaf? Tasted mostly like an E-connie with a little wàng. I'm not going to be seeking out wheels of them and overall I think that I like regular old araparica better.

    So a quick reclama here, obviously the Choctaw tribe fermented its tobacco using oak barrels. This wasn't an "ancient" process unless you consider the 18th and 19th centuries to be ancient. I just call that Peter's childhood. They received the barrels from European traders and then packed their tobacco into him after they drank the whiskey apparently.

    It's not ancient, though, and it's not any different than any other fermentation process, to include packing tobacco into giant pilons.

    Additionally, it appears that the choctaws made the entire cigar out of this whiskey barrel tobacco because they literally put all of their tobacco into these barrels. I'm guessing they did it to store the tobacco during the wet season, but who knows. The result was a fermentation process that went from the very top to the very bottom without having to restack tobacco because oxygen was deprived from the entire barrel, which is advantageous.

    The cigar I smoked today did not taste like whiskey, wine, or any other booze. Thank goodness.

    Perique uses anaerobic fermentation with the tobacco submerged in water and under pressure with brief periods of removing and airing out the tobacco before going back in the barrel.

    No. Grok doesn't know that you were born in the 17th century 😂. I understand history and science.

    (And I looked up the choctaws because it was bothering me)

    The original process was a “happy accident” by said Indians. They would store tobacco in hollowed stumps. They had done this a couple hundred years before European traders brought barrels to their attention. The act of the barrels being submerged first came about because the Indians would often use stumps in and around swamp land. They would also hide the barrels in the same areas when they started using those.

    If it don’t bother me, it don’t bother me. Just leave me alone.
