If you had to choose just one leaf

Tiny addendum to my above post: I just opened an RyJ Mille Fleurs petite corona. It was 1.5 seco, 1 viso, 1 ligero. This is a 1.86, i.e. mild-medium, which indeed this box smokes as.

Is there a correlation between strength and nicotine level?

Yes.

Ok. Is there a correlation between taste and nicotine level also? Can a blend be formulated using a linear scale? As it was pointed out a small rig gauge and a larger ring gauge will taste different even with the same proportion of tobacco fillers (not accounting for wrapper and binder) or will they?

You are hoping this is scientific. Tobacco is a variable, agricultural product, and there are over 3000 varieties of tobacco that can be cured and fermented in various ways. There is no mathematical blending formula. Blending is an art. Try some blends, and find out what you like.

I’m just a simple man lol, but am a curious individual. I just enjoy trying to understand the different variables involved in blending and am amaze at the knowledge that people have in this forum. But I admit that often I tend to complicate simple things.
