doctirderp Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 Is anybody here familiar with rolling their own blends? If so I would like to hear about your recipes and their flavor profiles. I wish it I could go to the store and simply roll a leaf up to smoke and get its flavor profile that way but unfortunately we can only buy by the quarter pounds. I have tried two blends so far, one pretty good, the other quite lackluster. Do you have any good blends that you enjoy?
Kitchen Posted June 5, 2020 Posted June 5, 2020 I have rolled my own, and done two different blends. The one I like the most is a robusto cigar using the following blend: Filler, 1 leaf Nicaraguan Ligero Jalapa Filler, 1 leaf Nicaraguan Viso Jalapa Filler, 1.5 leaves Nicaraguan Seco Jalapa Filler. Binder, 1 leaf of Honduran Binder, cut in half and overlapped. Wrapper, half leaf of Ecuadorian Shade Viso Wrapper. I did make a few with a half leaf (about) of St James Perique in the filler, but I have not yet tried them yet. I also did the same blend with a Nico wrapper and feel it became to strong. I have an order coming and will be using Cameroon and Dominican binders instead with the same filler and wrapper. I plan on staggering the binders to change the blend as it burns. I also now have a corona gigantas mold too.
