I wrote up a little review of this blend in RYO cigarettes in the Mailbomb thread; can I ask, how did you arrive at this recipe?

I don't know how I came up with the proportions. Just wanted it to have a well-rounded Virginia taste with enough Perique for it to be evident in every puff. Plus, I've got all these different kinds of Virginia and I wanted to start using what I had. The formula sounds complicated but it's really based on 9 units of 1 oz (11%) each; so it's 5 oz. of red virginia, 2 ounces of Perique, etc.
