[QUOTE="Kyle Weiss, post: 271726, member: 1969"] Experimental blends are fine. I have a culinary background, and it's always stressed as important to know your ingredients, or you're bound to just make a mess. Which is okay, but some people then fancy themselves master blenders and start putting everything together, and get lost. Talked to one poor guy recently just like that at the Tinder Box. Forgive my playing devil's advocate here, but if they're two great blends you enjoy, it isn't always 1+1=2 (better) by combining them...hence my apple cobbler mixed with BBQ brisket analogy. Eating them separately versus the same time is perfectly okay, if not respective of the person who likely worked pretty hard at developing it for it to fall into the hands of whimsy. That's part of the reason why I stay away from self-blending, I admit I don't know any better. :lol: Cooking taught me at least that much, create a mess first, then learn to cook. Again, nothing wrong with it, if you enjoy it, spot-on. I'd be surprised if from a year from now you're still enjoying it. Rob here, he's been mixing his stuff for a reason and for quite a while. Developed taste or hit a winner: we'll never know--so long as we're all enjoying it, right? Takes all kinds. 8) [/QUOTE]
