Pipeinhand sir, I look up to you and what you have accomplished. Thank you very much. Blending is not as easy as one may think. It is not just a little of this and a little of that. It is a lot of trial and error. I butchered a lot of tobacco to come up with something that was smokeable. lol My hats off to you. I hope to come up with a product that gets as much praise, and makes as many people happy as you products do Thank again for everyone's kind words and support!!!

Blending is not as easy as one may think.

Yeah, it's surprisingly difficult for something that is simple in principle.

ANYone that puts it out there gets a hats off from me. Anything that you do that you may think is great could be bad in someone else's eyes. I have some very good friends that have smoked cough syrup from me over the years, but I never stopped, even after some brutal comments. Every input makes you a better blender, the good and the bad. I thank you for your praise and applaud you for doing it. It may seem easy but after 20+ years of blending I still get ketchup, and brutal input. My failure jar is pretty full, I just can't throw away tobacco, or maybe it will morph into something worth smoking. :crazy:

LOL, I have thrown some away. I did a Burly aromatic plug that was brutal. I sent 2 samples out, one to Baron and one to lawrence. I gave them fair warning. What I learned from trying an aromatic blend is that it is not sugar that makes an aromatic. It is the flavor. I tossed a boatload of brown sugar on it and not enough flavor. It was dreadful, poisonous crap. I did a beta experiment and I am smoking it right now. I am not an aromatic man, but this is pretty good. I am going to send a sample out of it next week for feedback. I still don't think it has enough flavor, but maybe someone else will. I call it Butter Creme Burly Plug. It reminds me of the center of a Cadbury egg, lol
