Rattray's "Old Gowrie," previously blended in Perth, Scotland, but now blended in Germany by Kohlhase & Kopp is the subject of quite a bit of debate. The old version was definitely a straight Virginia blend, but the K&K version is listed as a Virginia/Perique blend. Many smokers refuse to believe that the new version contains Perique, but here at Stuff&Things, we're pretty sure that it does, though only a small amount. We assume it was added to the blend to make up for the lack of the well-aged Virginias once used in the mixture when it was produced in Scotland.
We're calling this a VA/Per (Virginia/Perique mixture), but you can call it a straight Virginia if you want. The Perique content is so low, it's hardly noticeable. Regardless of what we call it, can it be called a quality blend? Find out now!
