Just started rolling. I have 4 sticks under my belt using the Sabroso Medio from WLT.
I do like the smoke, and of course will roll more, but want to pick up a few more tobacco types to give more options and maybe fulfill desired profiles.
Over the time I have been smoking I have taken notes and have noticed that I often gravitate to the Nicaraguan type tobacco.
My top 3 favorites are the below in order of preference.
Curivari Reserva Limitada Cafe Noir
Tatuaje Havana VI
Liga Undercrown
I would like to get a blend that emulates or at least gives a nod of respect to them.
That Dark, Chocolate, coco, earthy flavors
Looking at WLT and reading the description on a few of the options I was thinking of purchasing the below tobacco.
Nicaragua Habano Viso - earthy, woody flavor with notes of chocolate and pepper.
Nicaragua Habano Seco - earthy, woody flavor with notes of chocolate and pepper.
Aleman Seco Banda - "Spectacular", "Dark, moody, aromatic, rich, and smooth"
I was looking at using the Aleman as both binder / wrapper.
I had thought of trying:
Ecuador Maduro Wrapper - oily rich, earthy and semi-sweet wrapper
But for my budget I figure give the Aleman a run since it seems to have a good following here.
So, I do understand the flavor will change depending on the parts.
I would like to know some of your impressions on the particular tobacco I am looking at.
Did you get similar impressions from them as the description at WLT?
Would you have another recommendation that you feel would be better served?
Also a side question. Seco / Viso / Ligero are listed in order of strength. i.e. viso is milder than Ligero and stronger than Seco.
This term Strength, I assume is specifically in reference to Nicotine? or is it a boldness of flavor?
If that is the case, I love lots of flavor, but not really looking for a Nicotine kick (little doesn't bother me, but I don't want to turn green).
Thanks for your time and insight.
