Commercial Blend "Hacks"

[BriaronBoerum]

I've heard of a few combos of commercial blends floating around, like 50/50 Haunted Bookshop and Pirate Kake. Are there any others out there that people regularly use? Please note I'm not asking about home blends with different tobaccos, that's a whole separate art, but just mixing 2 or more standard brands together, you know, like chocolate and peanut butter together makes . . .

The Cosmic Twist is when you stack a flake of PS LTF and LNF and twist them together as you put it into your pipe. One tones down the other, but the combined aromas are close to opening a box with brand new cowboy boots.

I don't much care for Ogden's Gold Block by itself, I like F&T Blackjack by itself but it's tanginess is a bit lonely. Mixed 50/50, the GB's creaminess tames the Blackjack tang, nice first bowl of the day in a cob.

I’m a big fan of Sutliff Maple Shadows, but it’s a seasonal offering (and no more thanks to STG). I mixed Sutliff Rum and Maple (still available and will continue to be produced) and HH Old Dark Fired (which I have deep cellared) and have really been enjoying it.

Any of the three unflavored GH&Co twists (pigtail, bogey, or Irish) "seasoned" with 10-15% BLACK rope. The cooked stuff.

Better than either kind smoked alone, IMO.

@condorlover1 put me onto something similar, as well as 50:50 brown twist and mick mcquaid. The same ratio for brown twist and tambolaka works well.
