Thanks to a post by Cortez, I read this blog post on blending tobacco by Russ Ouellette, and think it'll be great reading for others. (It was published in 2010, so before some of us found the forum)

And here is a second article by this master blender:

As mentioned above, Cortez's post revealed a trove of blog posts by Russ Ouellette, and here's a link to that thread.

Outstanding articles jpm. Thanks for that.
I have several blending tobaccos that I've been ignoring. Might have to drag them out and mix something up.

Thank you! I’m working on my second personal blend composed of base blending tobaccos. I’ve been through many (like, an embarrassing ‘many’) iterations and I’ve just about got it where I want it. Those articles are my next move.
