American Spirit Cigarettes Perique Rich Robust Taste Black Box

American Spirit Black Perique cigarettes are primarily available in the USA. In Europe (including the UK and France), availability may vary due to regional tobacco regulations. Duty-free shops in international airports or authorized tobacco retailers might stock them. Note that buyers must meet local age restrictions (18+ or 21+ depending on the region). Always check customs regulations for tobacco import limits.

Perique tobacco is a rare, fermented leaf from St. James Parish, Louisiana. For American Spirit Black, it’s aged in oak barrels previously used for bourbon, intensifying its earthy, spicy flavor. This unique process creates a robust, full-bodied taste preferred by experienced smokers seeking a stronger smoking experience.

For fans of rich flavors, consider other American Spirit varieties:

• Blue Box – Full-bodied original tobacco.
• Turquoise Box – Organic full-bodied blend.
• Dark Green Box – Menthol with full strength.

These also use additive-free tobacco but lack the Perique blend.

American Spirit was founded in 1982 by Bill Drake under Reynolds American. It pioneered additive-free, USDA-certified organic tobacco cigarettes. The Black Perique variant revives Louisiana’s 200-year-old Perique tobacco tradition, blending heritage with modern production methods.

The strength comes from the high Perique tobacco content (known for its potency) and the absence of additives or flavor enhancers. This creates a slower-burning, more intense smoke. However, this doesn’t reduce health risks – all tobacco products carry serious health warnings.
