How to Books on blending?

[990rick]

I've been doing some hybrid blends, but it's a kind of hit and miss thing and I just know I could do better by blending my own if I could just learn about the different tobaccos. So if anyone knows of any good books on the subject, or other good sources to get me started, please let me know. Thanks.

Milton Sherman's All About Tobacco is a really good start. It's out of print now, but you can find it used online. Or you can read the whole thing here.

Thank you Ted, I was just going to read a passage or two (here and there), and before I knew it I knocked out several pages. I bookmarked it and will give it a real read. Looks great.

Lawrence, I found this link on some forum somewhere and enjoyed the publication so much I went out and bought the book. It's a very interesting, insightful and informative read.

Damn you Ted; I read this post when it first went up, and just now realize I've blown the rest of my day reading aforementioned literature. Guess I might as well cut my losses, and see if I can't find a hard-copy version anywhere; great read, and a great addition to the library.

Thanks for the link Ted! I am going to start reading!
