Mixing blends.....Do you?

[smokinmojo]

I think we all do it from time to time. Tonight I mixed 30% Ravens wing with 70%Christmas Cheer 06. ( I know this is blasphemy to either english or virginia fans) The RW took the nip out of the CC and added further sweetness with the syrian tobacco.

i've done it once, but i don't recall what i did it with.

I used to do it a whole lot, with varying degrees of success. One of my travel pouches is a kitchen sink type thing where I'll mix just about anything together.

I used to, but the results were always less than good.

Yeah some times you have to. Been working with a tin of Royal Cajun Ebony on a couple of different blends because alone i find it way too sweet. Good results so far.

Someday I would like to be able to blend and create stuff I like, but I don't have the confidence to try yet.

My B&M does it and I've been trying to get with him when he does so I can learn more about it.

A few times, when I've had an aromatic that was just a bit too strongly flavored, I've tried mixing a little burley to calm it down.

When I am in the mood for an aromatic, I mix a little heavily-cased black cavendish in my 1792 Flake.

I do almost exactly the same thing, although I sometimes cringe when mixing good aged Virginia leaf with some 15.00/lb aromatic, but once every couple of years or so, I may actually create something that's truly enjoyable

More than anything else, it's given me a much greater appreciation for the skills of a talented blender.

When it gets warm enough for a bowl again, and after I dremel out the old nasty cake from my last pipe purchase (which was like 3 months ago... I'm lazy) I plan to try a mix of Peterson Sunset Breeze (only got a little left, thats why) and MacBaren Vanilla Cream.

This morning when I got into work I mixed up some Ebony with some C&D Bayou Morning Flake. Bayou Morning is a bit on the light side for me but the Ebony Perked it right up. I layered it in the bowl instead of mixing it up though. Ill have to try it again tommorrow.

I tried it shortly after I started smoking a pipe, turned out even worse then what I started with. I trashed the tobacco and never tried mixing again.

Opened up a 2 oz tin of Frog Morton OTT last week, and 3 or puffs into the first bowl I knew it was too mild for me. Had a baggie with about an ounce of Frog Morton in it that Stacey had gifted me - I really dig it too. Was thinkin' about the OTT yesterday, what to do with it and all, and suddenly thought "what would smokinmojo do"? So i dumped the rest of the tin of OTT and the rest of the Frog Morton in a mason jar and capped her off. Just finishing a bowl of it now and, to my surprise, it's a very darn good mixture.

If anyone is really interested in "experimenting" -
