If you can buy some from a hand-roller, get a few ounces of mild, cigar trimmings, which will have wrapper, filler, and binder, tobaccos. Mix a few grams, not much, with your "Sleep Hollow". Cigar leaf doesn't really alter the original blend's flavor profile, radically, but it enhances what's already there. It also adds creaminess, and some smoke volume.

Straight, Maduro leaf, made for blending.....might also do the trick. Start with a little, and work up. I use a small empty, plastic pill bottle for a small volume measure...and to avoid wasting large amounts of good pipe tobacco when I experiment. No scale, just measure by volume, until you hit pay-dirt.

Cigar-leaf would be the first of the tobaccos that I would try...before going to the more potent flavor-changers, like Latakia, etc.
