I like to take a pinch of different tobaccos and see what I can come up with. Sometimes I get it right and end up with something really good. A pinch of this, and a pinch of that. What about you guys, you create your own little mix too?

I used to...then I found that what I really liked was the two separate and apart from mixing...I was getting a good taste from two good tasting tobaccos...so I wasn't really getting a new mix, just both mixes were good by themselves.
Hope you can make some meaning out of that explanation.

Whatever scraps are left on my drying plate usually end up mixed together in a pipe every few days, never intentional though, but sometimes it comes out nice.

Mixing my own never seems to work out well for me.

Hope you can make some meaning out of that explanation. I got your meaning. I like mixing (blending Latakia) & Burley, or a mostly burley blend like Prince Albert Original. Trying to get a Smokey scent & taste. Closer to a Peterson Nightcap than say an Orlik Golden Sliced. its all the Smokey stuff I crave. |

Mixing my own never seems to work out well for me. It’s like when you mix equal portions of all the colors, you get brown.🎨 |

Only when I have bits and pieces of different blends left. I just throw them all together and whatever it is I just smoke it to finish the tins.

I made 1 blend and it turned out great, it continues to get better as it just sits. I'm 1 for 1 on blending, I think I'll keep it at a 100% success rate.
I have an evolving jar of VaPers and VA's that are bits and pieces of left overs. It never disappoints when I want a pipe but I'm unsure of what tobacco.

Next mix on the block right now:  This combo pipe and snuff blend will be called "Burley Legal" ... thanks to Low and Slow for the name! |

I have a small jar labeled Mezcla. It holds my spillings and usually fairly tasty.
Although, it doesn’t get too diverse before I have a smoke.

I hit the jackpot once, with my "Old Dad". Nothing else ever worked out
