There are many members here that smoke the Virginian red leaf straight, no casing, and others that mix with lemon. Many say the red leaf is the best.

I like the red by itself, but not all the time. I was a full flavor guy, so it is very good. If you smoked lights, you will want to blend it.

I'd think red 90% and perique 10% would be good to anybody. It was the base level to start experimenting that I was recommended by the members here and I have to say it's spot on perfect, only reason to change it is for variety.

That's in a pipe but it seems cigarette blends are very similar.
