My o my what fun you guys have had with all this blending, It makes me want to go out and buy a pipe and start blending some myself. It all looks top quality and even better as it smokes well.
I hope some of you took some seed from the Cyprus plants as my seed supply is nearly exhausted !!

Istanbulin, did you try that Oriental Perique on its own? (Since it is lower in nicotine.)

Yes, I smoked it straight. It was mellow and fresh but not aromatic as unmanufactured (non Perique) Oriental tobaccos. It was actually not a nice smoke. I made that Perique batch out of poorly cured mostly lower leaves so that may an explanation but I believe Perique process itself is also responsible for aroma/flavor loss in Oriental tobaccos. I have another batch of Oriental Perique that I've started a month ago, out of mostly mid-stalk leaves. When it's done I'll let you know out here.
