Would Connecticut wrapper work with Bezuki binder and Dominican Ligero filler and/or what other leaf combo ?
Thanks.
Thanks.
What blends well with Connecticut Shade wrapper ?

While I can’t offer an opinion on the Bezuki, the Dominican Ligero would be a good choice with the Connecticut wrapper. As far as binders go, I would personally reach for Nicaraguan Jalapa, Dominican Olor, Cameroon, or Honduran Jamastran leaf. Piloto Cubano seco, Columbian Seco, and CV Dominican seco would be good complimentary Secos. Corojo 99’ viso, T-13 Viso, and Paraguayan Flojo Viso would be decent options. As far as other ligeros go, Pelo d’Oro would also be an excellent choice. Hope that helps, Jeff…
I know it plays well with Sumatra binder, bezuki should be much the same. Here's one blend that works for me
@SlamFire has some good ideas too, I second his suggestions of Jalapa and Olor binders
There's only one way to find out

Looks like a tasty blend!
It is a favorite blend for a couple years now SF, and you got at least 2 out of the 3 filler components.
A note to the OP, I like Sumatra as a binder with CT because it's nice and thin and smooth: the veins don't telegraph through the very fine CT wrapper. Olor can be pretty thick and veiny. Just a thought, if you're concerned about optics. All three would taste great

The Bezuki and Sumatra seem similar so they should both work.
I have some CT shade and Bezuki from years ago and want to find a use for it. SF mentioned a few of the tobaccos that I have so I'll try a variation from the tobaccos he mentioned.
I have Flojo seco, P d'Oro Ligero, Corojo 99 Viso/seco so I'll play around with that and the Dom ligero ... I also have Rene ligero which i'll try as well.

For any battered and tattered CT Shade, add a strip into different filler blends wrapped and bound in anything else. It will broaden the aroma profile.
