Taking whole tobacco leaves and manually shredding them for use in a pipe?

The C&D cigar leaf for mixing, when smoked by itself, has a warm sweet flavor and is, to me, quite mild but tasty. Not bad at all.

I got: Aged Indonesian Sumatra Seco, Brazilian Arapiraca Filler, Canadian Virginia Flue Cured, and Burley.

If the Burley bites, try mixing it with the Virginia Flue Cured. Vice- versa as well, actually. Burley is alkaline and Virginia Flue Cured can be acid (high in sugar, actually). They are nice and much more mellow mixed, to my tastes. Either can bite on their own.
