I have always been searching, learning and trying to create some better blends. Surely there are a lot hidden in every thread, but I don't know if there's such a thread gathering everyone's best blend (at least in his own opinion), so I start here.

Up to now, mine is:
0.5 LO Nic Ligero
0.5 LO Dom Piloto Cubano Ligero
0.5 LO Dom Criollo 98 Ligero
0.5 LO Nic Seco
1 LO Nic binder
Brazilian Mata Fina wrapper
42 rg

Please feel free to list your best blends with leaf source, leaf ratio, ring gauge, tasting notes, etc.
Thank you all for the efforts and generosity!

A couple of my favorites are these:
1 LO Dominican Criollo Ligero
Strip of CTBL Filler from LO
1 WLT Corojo Viso
1 WLT Corojo Seco
Originally bound these with LO Dominican binder but as I'm out of these, I used LO PA binder.
LO Ecuador Shade Seco wrapper

.5 Piloto Cubano Seco
1 Mata Fina
.5 WLT Dominican Ligero
LO Dominican binder
LO Ecuador Shade Seco

I like using newspaper strips as forms as I don't want to always make a 48 rg stogie. Plus with the strips, I don't have to be exacting in my construction. Having a weekly newspaper provides more than my rolling needs.

I’m using the Madura as filler tho since it’s not wrapper quality then wrap with LO ctls1 wrapper.
