Hi Alan, tell us about your blends!
Finally getting around to posting about my home blending. I , like most, have had some pretty poor results and have learned much about blending , but still have a way to go!
But, it's a lot of fun and I have a few blends that I really enjoy and I continue to tweak them. However, I would still rate myself as a pretty poor blender!
I love pure Virginia's but I guess in my old age my sinuses have changed and they have started to bother them. Have also enjoyed English blends for years, but I have a small cabin and the Latakia tends to stink it up some. I have tons of Virginia and English blends cellared with age that I plan to sell soon!
So, I have pretty much gone to Burley blends which I have smoked some all along and that's what I am blending. I , like many on here, am a fan of Bob Runowski blends, Solani , Mac Baren Burley Flake and Mac B. Old Dark Fired.
Here is a recipe for what I think is close to Pegasus:
6 grams C&D ribbon cut burley
6 grams C&D white burley
10.5 gram Mac B Va # 1- lowers the nic -if you want more nic, then try other Va's.
2.0 grams C&D dark fired
This makes almost enough to fill a 8 oz. Mason jar.
I am a big fan of dark fired and have had pretty good luck doing dark fired blends.
Thanks so much to all of you for a great forum!
Alan
