[QUOTE="Blackhorse, post: 520891, member: 1365"] I think you might try a blend of mostly (80%) VA and Burley...like 40% each) then mix in varied ratios of the others...like 10% Cuban and 10% Turkish. Then vary those up and down a bit. You will be amazed at how much difference a few percent one way or the other on any of those makes. The more different things you add in, the harder it will be to get your ratios right. There should be a specific reason you pick each one of your components. It sounds like you’re trying to approach the genius of Oriental Dusk and Dark Horse (John Patton blends) available via 4 Noggins. Those are likely my two favorite blends of anything out there. And if you want something off the scale...try Peretti’s Oriental No. 40. It is 100% Oriental tobaccos...with no Latakia. Straight, it’s amazing. Plus, it makes an excellent blender. If you’ve never tried those three...you should. Anyway...good luck. [/QUOTE]
