Re: Identifying the Type of Tobacco
"We ate quite quite miserably at four, and afterwards I had the pleasure of smoking a pipeful of périque. Mrs. Buel had gone to her brother Alexander's house. He had given her some périque to prepare for him and she had brought me two or three little pieces, so I placed in my pipe a mixture, half périque and half Virginia tobacco. That made the pleasure last so long that I was able to have four pipefuls" - taken from "Exile in Richmond, The Confederate Journal of Henri Garidel"
If you've never read this book before, I highly recommend that you do. He is a pipe smoking fool and talks about this VERY frequently.
