Home Blend Labels

[canucklehead]

I was bored last night so I borrowed some of my daughter's felt markers and drew/coloured labels for some of my home blend jars.

So now you have to tell us about the blends!

Nifty. I do labels printed from my computer, but nothing this creative.

I'm terrible at keeping records of anything and some of these were blended over a year ago, but if I recall:

Aro- Brigham's Muskoka mixture, Dunhill's golden Cavendish (Lane MV-1000), and some homemade Cavendish, pressed into a cake.

Navalish- A buddy's homegrown Virginia and Burley, stoved with rum and brandy, then pressed for a while and rubbed out.

Boney Mix- 1 part Grand Croupier Boneyard, 1 part C&D Dark Burley, and 2 parts Low Country Natural Virginia. All day English.

OXPII- Oriental X-press v2.0, I have a thread here in the home blending forum about this one. I should have drawn a steam train for this one, I don't really like this label.

Pirates of the Nicotine- Maduro cigar, dark fired Kentucky, C&D dark burley, a touch of Latakia, stoved with brandy and pressed into a cake.

OTC- Backwoods Original pouch, Drexel VIII pouch, a little bit of McClelland's PM Pipe, topped with Sambuca and pressed.

Nice labels. How do you stove and top your tobaccos?
if it’s not a secret. ive used the oven and infused whiskey buy putting a small glass into a larger glass container with the blend and just leaving it for 2-3 months.

As long as you never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line...

I just use the oven when my wife is out. It has a fairly accurate temperature control.

I have just been using a small mister/spray bottle and very lightly spritzing the spread out tobacco, trying not to get any part visibly wet.
