I have carefully trialed and/or stocked 50ish blends now, and really refined what I generally like, and what smokes well in what pipe. However...
I have a glass jar in my workshop where I tip leftover tobacco, usually its the ziplock bag with less than a bowl left, or just whatever did not fit in the pipe when drying something, also i have tipped in the rest of a tin when i was not partial to the blend. So it is constantly changing, over sweetened aromatics, latakia heavy balkans, everything gets thrown in and shaken up. Theoretically this mongrel blend should be terrible, but its not, I stuff a pinch or two in a pipe whenever I am pottering in the workshop and it tastes great every time. My least favourite briar even seems to smoke well with this in it! Its just one of those things i guess, maybe the next leaf i tip in there will throw the scales and it will lose its charm, who knows.
below is the recipe, so far as i can remember:
autumn evening
skiff mix
frog morton orig, cellar, town
davidoff red
rlp6
1Q
early morning pipe
brown rope
etc etc
