[QUOTE="gandalfpc, post: 218998, member: 859"] It will be easier to whip up something you like than to copy an existing blend, especially considering the wide variety of tobacco components available to blenders, and the handful available to the consumer. Virginia's span the gamut, as do orientals, and there is a fair amount of variation in latakias as well. The chance your B&M has the right components for a near match would be quite low... On the other hand just whipping up a good Latakia forward English with a pinch of perique is a snap, as is adjusting the levels of perique and Latakia - try different base Virginia's, try McClelland, C&D and G&H for great components... Have fun, mix small batches, weigh everything, keep good notes, let mixes marry for two to four weeks tightly packed in jars before sampling... McClelland 5100 red cake and Old Gowrie both make nice bases. (old Gowrie has some perique I believe) [/QUOTE]
