Blended Solani 660 and HH Pure Virginia

[railman]

After a few not so interesting results in home blending I have left that skill to the pros, but...

Today I jarred up a recent delivery of Solani Silver Flake and HH Pure Virginia, and in the process of folding and stuffing into jars I inevitably ended up with some scraps that weren’t really worth saving. So I decided to mix the scraps of the two together just for the hell of it. I have to say, not a bad combo!

The Solani adds some nice sweetness to the more earthy HH to create a rather balanced flavor. And the dark fired in the Solani seems to be interacting quite well with the HH, bumping up the spiciness just a bit and adding a bit of woodiness.

After this happy accident I’m tempted to get out the scale again and fine tune this concoction!

Try some Sixpence. Very similar to Silver Flake and inexpensive enough to tinker with blending.?

I’ll have to try Sixpence, thanks for the recommendation. I enjoy Silver Flake enough by itself and it’s not exactly cheap, Sixpence may be a better start!
