G.L. Pease Windjammer is a Virginia/Perique (VaPer), pairing bright Virginias with peppery, fruity Perique from G.L. Pease, pressed into flakes you rub out or fold-and-stuff; it packs slowly and burns cool.
Black Cavendish, Burley, Perique, Virginia make up the leaf. Black Cavendish is steamed and pressed for a mellow, sweet, mildly smoky smoothness. Burley is an air-cured leaf with a dry, nutty, cocoa-like quality and low sugar. Perique, pressure-fermented in Louisiana, adds peppery spice and dark stewed-fruit depth. Virginia tobacco lends a natural grassy, hay-like sweetness and gentle citrus tang that deepens with age.
