I want to try my hand at creating my own blend of English/Balkan/American. I have blending dark fired Kentucky burley, Latakia, and Perique, PS 701 Virginia, and black cavendish. I intend to press it for some time then slice it. Success would be something that might resemble Escudo. This is my first attempt at such a project. Before floundering around on my own, it seems prudent to ask for advice from the forum. Can anyone suggest a recipe using some or all of these tobaccos?
