Perigue. In addition to the major classes, some "miscellaneous" types are 
grown, the most important of which is Perique (type 72). It is grown on a nar- 
row strip of land in St. James Parish in Louisiana, and comprises only a very 
small part of total United States production. It is a unique kind of tobacco, 
no“ed for its pleasing aroma, and small quantities are used in blends in the 
manufacture of fancy smoking tobacco. Annual production is around 250 thousand 
pounds, and a large percentage is exported.
