John Patton's Storm Front question

[Corncobcon]

I like Storm Front very much with the Burley/Cigar blend. Although, sometimes when
I smoke it I feel like I should add some other tobacco to it. I don't know, maybe some
latakia? Has anyone added any other tobacco to Storm Front?

 

[Ozark Wizard]

Well, you know what I'd do?

Take some aside, and toss some Latakia in there and see what happens! You might be on to something!

There is already a Patton blend that blends Storm Front with Latakia. Check out Dark and Stormy at 4Noggins. It is also one of my favorites.

A lot of those Patton blends are actually remarkable.

Thank you Simple Man

Had the pleasure of meeting him in Europe 1988 and we kept in touch. He was a true man of the Earth. An avid pipe smoker and collector. I was gifted three of his pipes in 2000 and a few more after he passed in 2003. This was a man that gave from the heart, he’s surely missed by many.


PS, my avatar picture was taken during one of Charlie’s shoots. He oftenen enjoyed a pipe between shoots. Most did not realize he was a pipe smoker.

LoneCoyote is your man in the field for this question. While JP StormFront is excellent all by itself, LoneCoytoe recommended the addition of 30% JP Crossroads. I have enjoyed this 70/30 mixture as well.

I've added a wee bit of perique to SF but then, I'm a perique freak :lol:

This tobacco bites me, does anyone else get this?

None of Patton's blends bite me at all. I find them very user friendly. Could be a body chemistry thing.

Yup, that's what I figured. I have some sensitivity to certain blends...

My only issue with Storm Front is that it gives me a fierce lump in my throat. Some pipers claim this is due to nicotine but I smoke blends like ODF, Triple Play, Brown Irish X, Dark Birdseye and 1792 Flake without ever experiencing this feeling. Personally I think it's a body chemistry mismatch with the blend. That said, I like Storm Front but only smoke it occasionally. Once I finish what I have on hand, about 7 ounces, I won't buy anymore. I seem to be outside looking in with this blend.

I like Storm Front a lot..but for some reason I just I just can't detect any cigar leaf...is it pretty well subdued or has all that time in Asia ruined my taste buds?..
