List your favorites. Do you mix aromatics and non? What ratios? I'm getting into trial and error but would prefer to learn from others mistakes.

BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE
Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

My B&M is very traditional about this. Never mix aromatic and english. Blah. Blah..
I personally like to mix burley and lane 1q and then a pinch of Latakia (25/75/Pinch To Grow an Inch). The mix I am smoking now is just a mix of aromatics and english that I didn't even keep track, I went on a Chef Ramsey tirade and just started throwing crap together. Guess what.. It's awesome!!! Which really burns my butt because I will never replicate it again...
I do like to experiment a lot, I have a friend that works at the shop so I do a lot of sampling.

I tend to smoke things "pure"... but when I get down to the last bit in a bag or tin where I dont think it will be enough to make a full bowl.. Ill sometimes put a couple of things together and just see how it turns out..
I did a 75/25 mix of mac b's virginia #1 with a bit of sutliff black swan a few weeks ago.. it wasnt bad.. just wasnt as good IMO as each of them are on their own...

I like to take Virginias that I have and measure out about 2 ounces. Then I takes some of the whole leaf Perique I have from 1997 and cut up about a 1/4 ounce of that - put it in a big mixing bowl to properly mix it together. Then, I put it into a ziplock baggie and stuff it in a 1/2 pint mason jar for a few months to meld. Have done it with Old Gowrie, Hamborger Veermaster, Gawith, Hoggarth Full VA Flake, and some others.
