Interesting Fact:
- according to pipedia, "The actual strain of tobacco can vary, although tobacco that isn't native to the soils of Louisiana doesn't yield a good product. Supposedly the most common strain used with Perique is something called "red burley". [source: https://pipedia.org/wiki/Pipe_Tobaccos]
I'll leave you with this:
"My cares, all my troubles
Are blown away like bubbles
My contentment doubles
With every puff I take
Of this lovely burley-flake."
