So I have been sampling different bulk tobaccos from aero to English and settled on balkans and orientals as my go to. My favorites being frog Morton on the town (not a bulk) stokkebys English Oriental and Balkan Supreme and even pirate kake. A while ago I found deluxestogies pipe blends you can make and his awesome latakia blending matrix.
Anyway I followed his ingredient list for his Balkan sobranie beige since prilep is the available Oriental and I followed his other recommendation for cut and even the kulu knife. Here's a pic of the blend.
Also I took about 2 handfuls and pressed them into a tin for about 6 hours with a c clamp and other cobbled together parts.
This blend is delicious and smokes cool it's a little heavy on latakia but I wouldn't change this batch, I'm going to press the rest of it and jar it and make another. This time I think I'll take out 1 part lat and add 1 part Oriental.
Big thanks to deluxestogie for the awesome latakia blending matrix and WLT for the great leaf!
