Custom blends!!

Post by bandkbrooks »

Ok we are all creative or else we wouldn't be part of this forum. I want to get from you brothers of the pipe and post my own blends. So fess up those of you who like to experiment with your own blends.

I ask because I haven't seen anything new posted or been able to post on http://www.tobaccoblending.com/

There are some great blends on there and I want more!

Major Nith's Private Reserve

Post by bandkbrooks »

English hybrid

I know it a bit of an ostentatious name but I wanted something British / Regal sounding. Nith stands for (Not In The House) which is what my wife said upon smelling the weed in my briar. I am also working on a blend called Revenge of the Nith but that's not quite what I want it to be yet.

1 Part Burley Light Without A Bite by Tinderbox
1 Part Stokkeby Bulls Eye (contains VA, Perique & Black Cavendish)
1/2 Black Cavendish
1/4 Latakia (Cyrian)
small amount of Carolina Flake to aid in keeping lit

I pressed it for about a week.

Great end of the day smoke. I made a batch and split it up for immediate enjoyment and for cellaring. I haven't opened the cellered tin yet but plan on it for my birthday. It will have aged 4 to 5 months. I will update then.

I will also plan on trying this with a VA subbed for the Burley even though the Bulls Eye is a VA.
