Hey Folks,
For about a year I have been wanting to try making a VaPer blend, but I can't get myself to pull the trigger on it. I keep putting it off because I think I have no business blending my own tobacco until I develop a better understanding of the taste profiles of the various tobaccos, and then I think I should just jump in and it will help me develop a better taste profile. I think I know what I want to put in it, but then I don't (which is of no use to you when I am asking your advice.) Here is what I think I want: A VaPer blend, or a variation of a VaPer blend that is rich and bold with a heavy mouthful. As I have been studying the various baccys it seems to me that a blend of red Va, Stoved Va, and Perique is what I want. I am fairly certain about the stoved and the Perique unless y'all know something I don't (well, I'm sure you know plenty that I don't) about blending those two. Alternately, I am thinking about Burley, stoved Va, and Perique. I want the Perique to come through pretty strongly. What do you think about my selections, and what percentages would you suggest. Looking forward to your advice.
