Finally Dialed One in!

[kurtbob]

Like many on here, I have failed miserably over the years at creating my own blend. Finally got one that I really love and don’t just smoke and hate because I’m too much of a cheap ass to throw it out. Put together 8oz Sutliff 707 sweet Virginia which has a very slight honey top note with the usual hay and grass notes. 3oz C&D Burley Ribon Cut, that doesn’t have a “sharpness” that I get with most of their Burley products and just tastes like Burley. Last but not least 1.5oz of Sutliff TS-20 Louisiana Perique. It’s a super earthy mushroom umami bomb with just a bit of pepper.
Now I can die a happy man and not a failure?

Always nice to enjoy your own creations. Congrats on the win!

You need to come up with a good name for this magical blend. Kurtbob's Delight or Sock Hairs or Gabriel's Horn Flakes. You have to name it so when people says "hey, what ya smoking?" You can say "I'm smoking my own concoction. I call it Cat's Ass Surprise. Congrats on the mixture.

Now, you need to try your hand at growing.

I see where you’re going there! I’m kinda partial to “Wet Dog”.

Been reading your posts on the subject. I’m a big fan of natural tobacco flavors with minimal intervention other than the ones used in the curing process. Really want to give it a try!

I’m glad you’ve had success with your home blending. Most of the stuff I mix up for myself isn’t bad but I’m hoping to stumble onto something really good.

I’m currently smoking one of my better efforts but I can’t seem to find the notes I wrote re the tobaccos and ratios I used. ?

Some of my best smokes have been home mixes. I don't call them blends because I don't stove, age, or press them.

Awesome bro. I would be interested to hear how you find your blend after pressing it

Me too! Got approx 6oz under pressure right now. I figure if I like it this much now, it ought to be stellar after some squish time.

Careful.
It could explode.
