I've been on the hunt for that "perfect" balance of flavor and body but can't seem to find it. I've picked up close to a dozen different blends and none of them really hit the spot, some are too mild and some way too much Latakia. Rather than let them just sit I've started mixing the Latakia with the mild aromatics and it's actually closer to what I'm looking for. Anyone else experiment with blending their rejects into something more smokable?

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 the next few weekends 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.
Blend your own?

Funny you mention Latakia; it's the whole reason I blend my own stuff half the time. Nothing large scale but a few ounces here and there ( I know sounds horrible haha). I like a little Latakia, but Balkan is way to much for me.
I cut a tin of Balkan with some local blended stuff last year and it became very enjoyable. JMHO

Omg.... It cracks me up, my local b&m goes ape shit over this. I mix stuff up all the time but they are a century old shop and apparently Latakia can not be mixed with aromatics. I think it goes well with it sometimes.

You seriously have to go back to around 03/06 to find actual words. I honestly don't get it. Am I missing something?
