Perique. 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 preduction. It is a unique kind of tobacco, 
noted for its pleasing aroma, and small quantities are used in blends in the 
manufacture of fancy smoking tobacco. Annual production is around 200 thousand 
pounds, and 50 to 75 thousand pounds are exported. 
Domestic Aromatic. A small quantity of aromatic tobacco (type 77) simi- 
lar to that grown in Turkey, Greece, etc., is produced in the western sections 
of Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina. The high labor requirements, 
around 1,200 hours per acre, has limited the expansion of production of this 
type. 
The following table shows the approximate normal volume of production, 
percentages used domestically and exported, and the usage in manufactured
