I need to read this section more and catch up on some of your tried-and-true best blends. I'm going to experiment with adding some Cavendish and a little VA to my next blending with Rustica. It needs a bit of softening-up and the two condiments might help. But please, send me some of your favorite blends. I'd love to try them. Best, LeRoy

Not that it needs modification (because it's fantastic just as it is), but I recently mixed a couple pinches of Ashton Gold Rush with a trace amount of Sutliff Black Swan. The result was a citrusy, non-overwhelming aromatic that was just a little sweet, and went great after dinner on a crisp fall evening.

I really love something like that. Also works inverting Burley and Virginia, if you favor more of the second.

was smoking "Bills Blend" from The Country Squire recently and thought it could use more body and a bit of smokiness. so i made up an oz of a custom mix, pretty much nailed what i was going for.

8g Deluxe Crumb Cut (wcc)
3g Latakia (c&d)
