Home Made Vaper With Burley Recipe Required Please.

Blending with Christmas Cheer and Aged Burley Flake?! I like the cut of your jib!

I would go 1 1/4oz Christmas Cheer. 1/2oz Aged Burley Flake. 1/4oz Perique.

Blending with Aged Burley Flake might be a little tricky, because the burley flavor is fairly mild and it has its own casing and flavoring added to it. Still, it should make for a nice, darkly sweet VaPerBur with the Christmas Cheer or the FVF.
If I were using a more natural burley, like the ones from Cornell and Diehl (e.g. White Burley, Burley Ribbon or Burley Flake #2), I'd probably use about 5%. That would "season" the VaPer just enough to give it a nice body and dry, savory aspect to the overall flavor. If I were going for a more burley-forward taste, I might go as high as 20%. I've done both, by the way, to good effect. Burley, VA and Perique are fairly forgiving when blended together in different proportions. It's hard to go "wrong," it just depends on what suits you. Because the Aged Burley Flake is relatively mild, you might have to go with higher proportions to get similar effects -- the real question is how the ABF flavorings mix with your VAs and Perique.

I'd do 50/40/10 and experiment from there. The 50 is your choice, and the 10 is Perique.

I'm looking to do a Burley Cube Cut, Medium Virginia with a small amount of perique.

There's something missing there ... can't quite put my finger on it ... oh yeah! NOT ENOUGH LATAKIA!! :twisted:

Tell us what proportions you used and how it smoked. I'd have smoked the Christmas cheer as all Virginia and used some 5100, but that's a different blend. With the pressure, you're into some real blending. I just mix a little, though sometimes the results are surprisingly good.
