The tobacco is grown from seed so small it has to be coated so they won't be lost.

"This little cap is around 5,000 seeds,"


Another good video report:

Seed is coated with Ash. They Crow then in green houses now. Each family that farms it has a green house. They then plant the babies in the field.

Just ordered the Perique book. Wonder if anyone in Saint James Parish sells small amounts of pure Perique. The bigger suppliers only handle a blend. And not sure how much pure Perique there is in the blend.

The blends are very nice, but would sure like to find some 100% pure.
