Blending question
Posted by V.B. on Sunday, 16-Oct-2005
I'd like to blend a couple of MYO tobaccos (say 3 oz of each) and I wonder what's the best way to do it. I don't want to end up with 6 oz of shake by having the long cut tobacco crumbled in the process.

I eyeball quantities and use a pulling and folding technique. Place the shorter cuts on top of the longer and pull and fold/lay the long over the short. Repeat, putting the short stuff that gets away on top of the pile. The short stuff filters down and gets caught in the long. I don't loosen shags first, they get loosened in the process.

The videos on blending at RYO Magazine website were very helpful. Thank you. Now I can put my stash of D&R Rowland - whose cocoa aroma I find excessively intrusive (fake) - to good use by blending it with Bali Red virginia which I find too neutral. Hopefully I'll get a sort of an American Blend, but of vastly better quality than what I'd get from any mass produced American cigarette.
