Perique Tobacco

This is a slide show, not a movie. It is a fascinating stop on our travel where Perique (pronounced per-eek) tobacco is grown. We had a good time with friends, Bud & Audrey Zeringue, in Gramercy, LA for a few days.

Start 'em young - Accordion

Apologies for the dark image. But hope you enjoy the music.

Apologies for poor video. Mulate's is a fairly dark place and couldn't get enough light. Anyway, hope you enjoy the audio.
