I’ve been working through a tin of Blairgowrie and was looking for a bit of a change up. I mixed a 50/50 blend of Blairgowrie and Esoterica Margate.
The two blends compliment each other quite well. The subtleties of Blairgowrie are bolstered by a deeper sweetness and rounder mouth feel. Overall it becomes a more “easy” smoking blend. The finer cut of the Margate also makes for a no-relights required situation, leading to a cooler smoke. The aftertaste has some of that Esoterica mouth coating without it being as obvious as with straight Margate.
The mix stands as distinct from its two components and I’ll be making up a small batch to enjoy over the next couple weeks.
