Could have sworn I posted this here before but can't find it so I'm posting it now in case it proves to be of interest to any one here.
I do rather enjoy many blends as they come I must say but I also very much enjoy a wander in the forbidden zone of Home Mixing, I say home mixing because it really isn't blending with many of those I am listing as many involve existing blends in the mix.
Any way, here's the list of some mixes I have tried in the past and have been thoroughly delighted with the results.
This mix is absolutely perfect for those looking for a stout mix with a heck of a nic-hit.
Va/Per Mix #1
Gawith Hoggarth Perique - 25%
Gawith Hoggarth Sliced Brown Bogie - 50%
Gawith Hoggarth Black Cavendish - 25%
One could hardly imagine making this flake any better but it is absolutely delicious with a good helping of perique, marvellous.
Va/Per Mix #2
Gawith Hoggarth Perique - 35%
Gawith Hoggarth Best Brown Unscented - 65%
This is a delightfully sweet Va/Per mix, cannot recommend it highly enough.
Va/Per Mix #3
Gawith Hoggarth Perique - 40%
Samuel Gawith Bright Virginia - 60%
There is something very familiar about this one, can't quite put my finger on what it is but WOW, what a corker of a home mix, definitely worth a try.
Va/Per Mix #4
Samuel Gawith Brown Virginia - 50%
Gawith Hoggarth Perique - 35%
Gawith Hoggarth Black Cavendish - 15%
Burley isn't everyone's cup of tea quite frankly but should you enjoy Burley than you simply must try this one, a very pleasant sweet mix, most enjoyable in the late evening curled up by the fire.
Va/Per Mix #5
Samuel Gawith Burley - 35%
Gawith Hoggarth Perique - 25%
Samuel Gawith Bright Virginia - 40%
Very much like Mix #5 but without the sweetness, still a marvellous smoke and very suitable after luncheon.
Va/Per Mix #6
Samuel Gawith Burley - 35%
Gawith Hoggarth Perique - 25%
Samuel Gawith Brown Virginia - 40%
Heinous naughtiness I hear them all screaming, he dares to mess with Curly Cut, well yes I do quite frankly and if you give it a bash yourself you shall find out why, this one is nothing short of superb.
Va/Per Mix #7
Gawith Hoggarth Curly Cut Deluxe Sliced Roll - 60%
Gawith Hoggarth Perique - 40%
Ah yes, one for our Brother's wth a penchant for the Aromatic tobacco, I don't enjoy Aromatics to be truthful but this is an exception, a very very enjoyable early morning smoke this one.
Va/Per Mix #8
Gawith Hoggarth No.7 Broken Flake - 65%
Gawith Hoggarth Perique - 35%
Another most enjoyable sweeter home mix, the Cavendish really sets this one off, delicious after a cooked breakfast I must say.
Va/Per Mix #9
Gawith Hoggarth Bright CR Flake - 65%
Gawith Hoggarth Perique - 15%
Gawith Hoggarth Black Cavendish - 20%
I do enjoy a nice coffee aromatic mixture from time to time but they tend to be made with pretty shoddy base tobaccos making the smoking experience less than enjoyable in the end, so I came up with a few home mixes to provide a delicious coffee aromatic with an excellent base tobacco.
I'll give you fair warning, these make a good medium/strong smoke, not for those who prefer milder Lady-N smokes!
