[QUOTE="Rail Man, post: 524841, member: 58"] I was intrigued by BriarWorks Country Lawyer, a cigar leaf blend with no Latakia! I liked it enough but seemed to be all treble with no bass. Latakia would be the obvious component to add some darkness but I wanted to avoid that. Kentucky was the next idea but the blend already contains a little and I was concerned a little more might overpower everything. So I settled on trying to add a little Perique, C&D’s granulated perique. Having read that a little perique goes a long way I started with 10 parts CL to 1 part perique. This proved to even be a bit overpowering so I started diluting it until I got to 20 parts CL to 1 part perique. This seems to be about right, the perique adds just enough dark notes without overpowering the orientals and cigar leaf, and overall seems to add the missing piece of this blend, for me at least. I’m going to jar up my test mixture for a week or two to let the perique “meld” a bit more and revisit it. Your mileage may vary. [/QUOTE]
