Forum member Sam (SJ Miller) recently offered tobacco up for free that he no longer smokes, frankly, I have plenty of tobacco but I am always wanting to try something else, so I took Sam up on: Grassmere....five stars  C&D King Cake....five stars  Kajun Kake...five stars  C&D Dark Fired Kentucky...great stuff and I like a hearty smoke, but I need something to cut this with...  he gave me 1 oz of this. I am good at following recipes, but am not even a novice at blending...thinking about adding some to a 3.5 0z tin of Orlik Golden sliced aged 3 years...what would be a good starting point? I don't want to bugger up both tobaccos. On one hand, I have to question Sam's taste...these are great blends that he didn't care for...but that is tempered by thankfulness for his generosity...but darn him...now I have at least 3 new blends I have to cellar! |

I received Bengal Slices from him and that is now on my to buy list!!! I haven't tried the Commonwealth blend yet but I sure that will also be a winner! |

C&D Dark Fired Kentucky...great stuff and I like a hearty smoke, but I need something to cut this with... he gave me 1 oz of this. I am good at following recipes, but am not even a novice at blending...thinking about adding some to a 3.5 0z tin of Orlik Golden sliced aged 3 years...what would be a good starting point? I don't want to bugger up both tobaccos. Congrats & good on SJMiller for sending them to ya! I'd keep it in a separate jar & just make small mixes with other tobaccos. If ya find a combo ya like, then make a big batch. It does work pretty good with Golden Sliced, other VA's & Va/Pers, but it is real easy to overpower the blend with just a pinch too much. I have some PS Dark Fired that I add to different tobaccos every now & then, I have used it with several aromatics to make a heartier blend with a nice smoky undertone. It plays nice added sparingly to red Va.'s like 5100 as well. Here's a couple aromatic blends I've made: Dark Fired Black Coffee - 70% PS Black Coffee, 15% PS Black Cavendish & 15% PS Dark Fired ... + or - on % of cavendish & dark fired to suit your tastes Smokey Maple - 85% Sutliff Rum & Maple or SPS Maple Street & 15% PS Dark Fired - maple gets easily overpowered + or - 5% on dark fired Enjoy! |

I like that DF coffee recipe. I was initially enamored of PS Blk Coffee, but as with their equally unique Sambuca, I acclimated to it quickly and subsequently, tired of it.
Sidebar: PS Black Cav is a great mixer. I have modified and even saved a couple of blends with it.

Thank you, just what I was looking for...I do have some aro's that could use more "punch", so that might just be the ticket...definitely will try on the Virginia's. |

You are all most welcome. You finally figured me out! I am really a secret agent hired by tobacco retailers to trick you into buying more tobacco.
