Pipe tobacco blending recipes

[livwire68]

I just recently got an email from a pipe place and they had a section about baccy blending, more like recipes that members contribute to. Could make an interesting addition to CS. I am only a seasonal pipe smoker but many others are hardcore. So I guess I am just curious to see if some of the BOTL blend their own and what their recipes are. I know at one time someone mentioned about haveing a CS blend, maybe the members could post a recipe and all the members vote to create a CS original. We may also be able to get a smoke shop to blend in quantity and sell it (Frenchy ) as the CS blend with some of the proceeds making their way back here for site maintenance. Just some thoughts? Here is the site:

from what i hear, the cs blend is done, we just had a contest for the label art. As for individuals blending, i know cquon does, not sure who else.


edit: just saw this
Burley, like VA, is a good base tobacco. It has no sugar of its own, but is relatively bite-free. It should never come to the forefront, but be used sparingly. The "Burley Curse" refers to the habit this tobacco has of overpowering a blend. Burley has a distinct nutty taste, but because of its somewhat bland character, is often flavored.

evan, you have a new hate mail target.

I see the art work for the tin very nice. Like I say I am more of a seasonal smoker and getting ready to get into the swing of things again. You will have to excuse me if I am a bit behind the times!

Thanks, I read through some of the "How To" basic blending, stoving and pressing primers and I for one appreciate any information concerning blending and processing tobacco for the pipe. I have been growing for a number of years now and doing some trading of leaf, this type of information has been hard to come by. I have some dried leaf set aside from this years crop that will be cured with a oak cool smoke process. It should be interesting
