Blend Recipes

jfreedy

Hey guys, I've read several of your blend recipes in these forums over the years (e.g. Mrs. Hudson's) and wanted to start a thread to capture some of your favorites. So please share blend recipes that you've created or discovered so we all can enjoy them.

For the record, and once again for newcomers, and for any aromatic smoker who hasn't tried it .... Our own @Ghostsofpompeii is always coming up with a new combination of tobacco blends. He's even into "stacking" (packing layers of different blends/flavors in one bowl). In my humble opinion, his finest creation is ........

Mrs. Hudson's 221B Bakery Street Blend

Sherlock Holmes probably smoked a strong English blend. Naming a sweet aromatic after him would be inappropriate and ungentlemanly. The name Mrs. Hudson’s is a reference to Sherlock Holmes' landlady. 

Mrs. Hudson’s is made from Sutliff bulk tobaccos, sold by the ounce, and blended together as follows: 

Three parts (or 3 oz.) Sutliff Vanilla Custard

Two parts (or 2 oz.) Sutliff Chocolate Mousse

One part (or 1 oz.) Sutliff Crème Brulee

Some folks prefer to substitute one part (or 1 oz.) Sutliff Private Stock Molto Dolce (tin) for the very similar bulk Creme Brûlée.

Historical note: The original recipe called for “….a pinch or two of Sutliff Irish Creme.”  @Ghostsofpompeii says it could be omitted without harming the blend.

Mrs. Hudson's 221B Bakery Street Blend — easy to light and keep lit, great taste, excellent room note; no bite, no goop, and no negative ghosting.

Five 200g Memphis Plugs and one Apertif plug clone on top of the pyramid pulled today.

Modified the 2' steel tube used to do 1kg of tobacco at a time.  Five 200g plugs are tough to push out.  Made some 5/8" holes to put some stainless steel bolts on so I could hang the tube in the frame press and push it out that way.  https://acefour.org/2023/03/pressing-1kg-of-whole-leaf-tobacco/

Maybe some “Colace” would have helped…..the commercials say it helps with pushing things out😬
