Our Blends
Burley, An American tradition. When Bing Crosby visited Peretti’s he smoked our fi ne Burley
blends which are famous the world over. Burley blends are fl avorful and straightforward;
yet often with a subtle nuttiness.
Redolent of the London social clubs of the 19th century, English blends are especially popular
with experienced pipe smokers due to their complex fl avors and aroma. Typically a base of
virginia, spiced with latakia, turkish, and occaisionally perique and other tobaccos as well.
Cavendish, or aromatics as they’re also known, have become the most popular and are
characterized by their sweetness and aroma.
Flake tobaccos are Virginias or English style blends that have been pressed , specially cured,
and sliced. This provides for a more full bodied smoke that still has many subtle complexities
to offer the smoker.
