[QUOTE="gandalfpc, post: 82561, member: 859"] Made up a blend a few weeks back - my first - which turned out quite well. I was hoping that some here might provide some insight as I attempt to refine it. The original blend: 10 parts Old Gowrie 6 parts Latakia 3 parts Oriental 2 parts Perique using all McClelland blenders It was very nice, but I thought it was a bit too strong in the Perique note and decided to put in only 1 part next time Upon mixing though I found that only 1 part seemed too little to distribute through the blend (it is a very tiny amount due to the moisture in the Perique?) so I stuck with 2 parts for the time being and decided to adjust elsewhere. Rather than changing the proportions I instead used: 2 parts McClelland Latakia 4 parts G&H Latakia It is marrying now, very tightly packed in a jar - it will be sampled on New Years to see if it has a significant difference from the original... Anyone here have experience blending their own that might provide some guidance? [/QUOTE]
