Do You Ever Add a Pinch of Something to a Blend?

[cachimbero]

Sometimes I add a pinch of Perique to Elizabethan or McConell red virginia. Tbey both have it, it is just spicing them up. I feel this es s different than adding a to acco that was not present in the mixture in tbe sense that it is less risky. Of course, if you find something you like, smoke it.

Some folks like to toss any small dregs into one jar and smoke it as a grab bag blend, but I think it makes more sense to take one set of dregs and add it to one specific blend or single tobacco that you think might work with it, so it is more intentional. At least, I think that works better for me.

If I don't like a certain tobacco or find that it lacks taste I'll mix it with something that is too aromatic or too weak on it's own. I recently found a small jar labeled, "This and that 5/2005" in the back of my tobacco closet. A bit dry but it has a kick of Latakia with something sweet. I can't say it's horrible or bad but not knowing exactly what's in it kind of bothers me and keeps me from liking it. I don't label things like that anymore. I have no idea what I mixed back then.

I have never and will never put anything in my blends. The blender who sweated it out to make a blend is someone I respect and to add something to it is disrespectful in my delusion of a life. I have no blending experience so I leave it up to the experts.

Yeh, I absolutely predicted that you would be someone who would never alter a hamburger, because the cook obviously is a genius, and you'll eat that damned burger because he is an artists. Right? Adding a pickle or some mayo would be an insult to them.

cos, I am not a big pickle guy so asking for more is something I don't do. I rarely go to take out places like McDonalds but if I do I get a big mac as I love those things. I also get a filet O fish as that what my mom's favorite is. Gottaa have fries and a large Chocolate Frappe. It is probably 5000 calories so I rarely go. At 3 am drunk off your ass that place rocks.

I rarely get mad at anyone on this forum. I am a member of https://speak-easy.club/. I can say what ever I want to anyone who pisses me off which is rare. But I can call people all the filthy things that I cannot say here. There is no filter over there. You can actually get 8 warnings before you go into the doghouse which I have never been. That place is for the neo nazis.

I am the safest person to get mad at, because I don't take anything serious (except for calling that Sutliff vinegar aromatic swill anything like McClellands). But, hopefully, you'd know that I am not seriously trying to make you mad. Just bustin' balls right?
It's totally ok to think of the blender's art as some sort of religious sacrament that we shouldn't alter. But, it's just ironic to take that same way of thinking and apply it to our food. I go to a lot of top notch restaurants, where the draw is that the chef is the best at what they do. Then I listen to people at tables around me ordering like it's a fuckin' Burger King where they can order anything "Their Way." I'm sure the staff is all taking turns spitting in the plates of the asshole that orders the boeuf bourguignon, hold the onions, not too much sauce, well done, and bring me some ketchup.

I regularly add HG&Co Dark Birds Eye to D&R Ramback tobaccos and enjoy the taste.
