Recently, I've been experimenting with some very simple tobacco blends. Here are two that I think are worth a try.
Black & Black -- Peter Stokkebye 310 Black Latakia and Sutliff Black Cordial Z50. Blend them 50%/50% by weight if you want a slightly sweet Latakia bomb, and 25%/75% if you want a slightly smoky, sweet aromatic.
Macedonian Cigar -- Peter Stokkebye 313 Oriental and cigar leaf. Blend them 75%/25% by volume if you want to emphasize the incense-like character of the orientals, and 50%/50% if you really want to taste the cigar leaf. I make my own cigar leaf by using a razor blade to cut 1/8 inch ribbons from medium strength cigars but use whatever you like.
The nice thing about these easy blends is that they don't require any pressing or maturation. Just mix them up when you want to smoke them.
If others have their own blend recipes, I'd like to learn about them.
