Blending Basics

[Call Me Late]

I’ve been testing out some home blending recently. The forum has a lot of post but I couldn’t find anything on blending basics. Does anyone have suggestions for blending basics or could you recommend some resources?

I've done some blending. At first it wasn't very good. You need to learn each tobaccos characteristics. It can be a little overwhelming at first because some tobaccos can produce many flavors depending on how they're processed.

Ernie Q on Pipe Smoker's Den has a couple threads that might be helpful, iirc.
I was using them as a cheatsheet when I was processing my harvest this year.

I also believe that one of the wholeleaf retailers has a forum where there's some talk on blending and recipe sharing.

I thought of this late, but be careful how much you put in a blend. Like Kentucky Fire is strong if you put too much you'll make a nic bomb.
