Well, I love the flavor of McBaren H&H Vintage Syrian, but I find it bites unless very carefully dried and pipe carefully selected. Had a thought, tried it out, and voila, what a tobacco! I added about 15 % C&D granulated Perique and pressed it lightly for about a week; the bite is gone and the flavor is sublime. All the wonderful hidden flavors pop out and it's really smooth and lush. My press approach is just a kitchen vacuum sealer, gives maybe 12 psi pressure and you get a nice flake. May be sacrilege to modify this tobacco, but all I care about is a good smoke. I'm going to treat my whole pound.
