Hey Death Metal, what was the process for Rum-Soaked Perique? I'm leaning towards C&D Cubed Perique and using cotton balls with a splash of Apppletons Jamacian Rum. GL PEASE said he used Dark Rum for HAddos Delight. Didn't push him , whether it was Myers or a Oak Casked Rum.
My process is simple: take a dish, put Perique in it (4noggins ribbon cut) and put in enough rum to cover the dish, then stir Perique into it, and let it sit in a warm dark place for a few hours to absorb rum and evaporate some. Then, if still wet, dry under heat but not light, then pack into pipe and enjoy.
The rum imparts a nice sweetness.... dark rum sounds perfect. Honeydew, deferred by fermentation and distillation!

If depends on where you get your raw ingredients.
If you grow your own, it is essentially free. You will need a good shredder though so figure $50.00 for a cheap one and up to $200.00 for a top of the line shredder. If you buy whole leaf, plan on spending about $15.00 a pound. Once you strip the vein out the cost is more like $15.00/12 oz. You will still need a shredder. If you buy already shredded tobacco the cost is something like $30.00/lb.
NOT saying those aren't great, tasty blends. But 25%-35% Latakia would all but bury the taste of the other ingredients for me. Latakia for me is like the pea was to the princess. That's why I smoke only Nightcap and have no desire to try any more English blends. The only blend I've smoked with Latakia in it I couldn't taste was Edward G Robinson. Idk what the percentage of Lat is in it but it can't be much.
Not huge, unless you order by the pound. Then you can get decent tobaccos from $1.65-$2.50 an ounce. If you build a blend around Burleys, you can probably do it for average $2/ounce for 5 lbs.
