Cigar leaf blend suggestions

[expatpipe]

I would like to try a blend with a cigar leaf blended in. Not, so as the taste of cigar takes over the whole smoke, Something rather in the background. Do any of you have any suggestions? I'm eager to try one!

Thanks Kevin, I'm on the hunt for it now then.

I add my own cigar leaf. Has anybody else tried? When I smoke a great cigar like a Partagas Black Label Maduro, I save the butt rather than tossing it. I place it in a coffee grinder reserved for tobacco and in a second or two the butt is flaked out rather nicely. I keep the flakes in a jar and sprinkle them into a blend like C&D Engine 99 to spice it up. It is amazing how much cigar tobacco flake one butt can produce.

I like Billy Budd as a pipe tobacco but I dont get any cigar out of it maybe its just me since I was a serious cigar smoker I am looking for something of to much

I agree that C&D Billy Budd is a good cigar blend, however I prefer it with some age on it. When I smoked it fresh I didn't care for it too much.
Another blend that you might want to try is Hearth & Home Stogie from Pipesandcigars.com.

Robert Lewis 123 Mixture and James Fox's The Banker's Mixture are both

excellent Cigar leaf blends that I enjoy and cellar. Another preference

of mine is to add Cigar leaf to blends for both the added flavor, and a

bit of moderation for rough tobaccos. I like Maduro and get it from

C&D, which they will both press and tin for modest charges.

I'm the only one on here that feels this way, but regular ole' Frog Morton had that immediate taste/flavor the one time I tried it. :crazy:
