[QUOTE="Brunello, post: 550846, member: 4458"] Let us know what you come up with. If I were just starting to tinker with these components, knowing that you are a big fan of Perique I'd start with 4 parts (66%) yellow Virginia 1 part (16%) Turksih 1 part (16%) Perique. I enjoy a blend by C&D called Orion's Arrow that uses similar components: 2/4 Virginia, 1/4 Turkish, and 1/4 Perique (that's 25%) and I love it. But for most tastes 25% or even 16% will be a bit high in Perique. Just do it small batches to trial instead of committing your whole supply. These components should work well together but if you find they have differing moisture content one trick that I learned from Glynn Quelch to speed up the melding of flavors is to put your trial batch in a baggie, squeeze out the air, and put it your pocket for a day as you do all your normal activities. The body heat will help everything marry nicely. Have fun! :sunny: [/QUOTE]
