Bespoke Pipe Tobacco Blends

[ak2000]

I've done some of my own blending over the years, particularly with GH and C&D tobaccos. @jefslat had posted a few years ago about an excellent mixture he came up with which prompted me to give it a try. These days I just do it to tweak certain blends more to my liking. I'll add different C&D Burleys, ribbon cut, dark Burley, or burley cube cut to them. The one I've really stuck with as a personal blend is GH Dark Birdseye and Kendall Kentucky in a 75/25 ratio, really good together IMO. Never tried to do anything with pressure, just mixing up. I'll be interested to hear about your results.
