Who has their own private blends?

I have created two of my own private blends with the help of Jon David Cole at The Country Squire in Jackson, MS.
The first is named Senior Chief and it was The Country Squire blend of the month in August 2015. We call it a crossover blend because it contains, Virginia's, Latakia, Black Cavendish, Perique and a touch of nutty/maple burley.
My second blend is named Lighthouse Keeper and it is similar because it has the same basic tobaccos but in different proportions to make it a lighter smoke for hot summer days. I doesn't have the nutty topping either.
Neither one has enough toppings to be considered an aromatic.
Have any of you pipe smokers created your own blend (and no, throwing the last of your tins into one jar don't count.)

The blend consists of Sutliff bulk tobaccos blended together as follows:
