1:1:1 Sutliff Stoved VA, Sutliff Sweet VA, C&D Bayou Morning

[Auxsender]

Pretty good. Wish I had my Sutliff Red VA handy because that would have been good here too. I combined 1 gram each of all 3 elements. It’s honestly a little bitey but I’ve smoked worse.

I have those. I could see that being a good combo might have to try a bowl. I'm guessing the Bayou helps the stove stay lit better.

Is the Sutliff stoved Va pretty dark in color?

Yes. It’s black and looks like the stuff Ernie puts in some of his blends but I’m a hella novice and I may well be WAY off. It looks like larger black flakes (think fish food) of baccy.

I think next time I’ll add some Simply Red or some My Red Fox for depth. It’s very 1D. Reminds me a touch of current Lizzy Mix which I do not care for.

Maybe. Not sure. My thought was “Perique”. I will say this “blend” burns well. If I had C&D Exclusive, I would have used that for the Perique. Hell, if straight Perique existed at the moment in retailers, I’d buy some and use that.

I looked for you. I see it available on some sites. I've never used them though so I can't verify that they're good sites. WV Smoke Shop says they have it.

There's some available at my local B&M.
Also some G&H ropes if anyone is looking.

Ok. Seems in some C&D blends I've had that include stoved Vas, they haven't been exactly replete with dark leaf.
I just really miss McClellands stoved.
