Tobacco Recipe Books

[pcfdave]

Don’t know if it’s been done but I would love to hear your thoughts on titles worth chasing down. Regardless of how difficult they would be to acquire. I remember forever ago on the Country Squire Podcast John David mentioning some and wished I wrote them down. Thanks for any help.

Let's get this back to the top, before it slides away into oblivion.

Like a tobacco bucket list?...interesting. I could see an entire blog dedicated to this journey....

I once saw John David's recipe book from his shop, something the original owners has started and kept. Is that the sort of thing you are thinking about? A compelling idea but surely the issue with any older tobacco blending guides is that most of those tobaccos used are gone/changed. Sad.

Yeah I have seen several sites online with suggested blending recipes and even other forums that have this. I love books and especially historic tobacco books of which I have a couple. I have to imagine that John David and other master blenders have books they have used as references to create their own original recipes.

Milton Sherman's "All About Tobacco" is a great book, and one I've heard John David mention before.
I've got a field notes type journal I use. Any time I try a new blend and really like it, it goes in the book with notes. I too enjoy books and history about tobacco. There are many great titles to collect, some harder to track down than others.
