Taking this idea a little further. Instead of new blends, how about existing blends in a new form? Rolled, twists, plugs. Coarse sliced. Cubed.
I suppose the cost of setting up and learning twists today is more than many blenders can do. But it's sure fun to dream.

| If you want a sweet, interesting flavor treat, mix exactly 50/50 C and D Crooner and Benjamin Hartwell's Evening Stroll. It's almost like a vanilla/choclate twist cone, but you can smoke it in a pipe!   |

| My tobacconist's mixes this one up for me, and with only two tobaccos in the mix, it's a no brainer.
1oz. Golden Virginia
1 1/4 to 1 1/2 oz. Latakia - Sometimes you just gotta have a bit more of the Latakia.
I call it my poor mans Squadron Leader. After it's aged a bit, it's pretty danged close... |

| I just stumbled upon an interesting blend this weekend (of my own devising). I call it, "The Prince and the Pirate." You might guess the recipe just from the name: 50/50 C&D Pirate Cake (rubbed out) and Prince Albert (red).
I like PK, but all that Latakia needs a foil to avoid being 1-dimensional. Hence, my idea to introduce PA to the mix. It works very nicely. It's kind of a manly flavor, tending toward a pleasant bitterness with just enough complexity.

| Does anyone have any tips on how to blend your own tobaccos? Or any links to places where I could learn? Is it just hit or miss?
