@KA9FFJ I've added various English/Balkan blends to aromatic ones. It always seems to work well. The main variable is English to aromatic percentages. The best has proved to be about two parts aro to 1 part English/Balkan. Also, I've noticed a little perique in the mix doesn't hurt, either. At present, I'm enjoying a mix of Lanes Crown Achievement with Sutliff Panna Cotta. Delicious.
Interestingly, I find my English/Aro blends leave my face and mouth less.... uh ..... muzzy, than straight aromatics, especially the heavily cased Sutliff blends I have enjoyed.
Sorry fellas, made a slight error in my description of a Russ blend, the actual name is Jet Black not Black Jack, don’t ask, Had some C&D Apricots & Cream today, really nice blend. Had awhile back and sorta forgot about it.
This past week I surprisingly won a full sized meerschaum on Ebay with a minimum bid. Once received and brought to "showing status", I posted it for you guys to see. I was reminded how I neglect the 2 meerschaums I own and decided to break out the midsized Sultan. Doing some Sunset Rum. I forget just how good these meerschaums smoke. Might take my new meerschaum acquisition out for a spin later this week... Get ready guys. @PappyJoe MARCH MEERSCHAUM MADNESS will be kicking off soon!
Starting the morning with a 75%/25% Sutliff Black Cherry and Lane BCA respectfully in a repaired and refurbed GBD bent while enjoying a good cup of McCafe coffee...
Smoked a bowl of C&D Orient Express, followed by a a bowl of GLP Jack Knife ready rubbed and finished up with a home made English style blend while operating a skid steer because it snowed again.
Just finished a bowl of Scotty's Trout Stream in my Peterson Dracula pipe. Been watching a bunch of old Matches 860 videos on YouTube. Really loved that guy. One hell of a storyteller.

Currently smoking Royal Yacht in my Peterson bulldog. Not sure why people hate this blend, I'm loving it.
