So, I'm settled on 3 blends that cover pretty much all of my NC appetites, mostly rolled somewhere on the corona - toro border (torona?)
When I want light and sweet - Sumatra:
Filler - Indonesian Sumatra, Dominican, and Nicaraguan. The Dom/Nic is so I can get some ligero and volado into the blend so it burns better. I use 1 Dom volado, 1 each Dom and Nic ligero, and 3 Sumatra seco. Because the Sumatra leaves are a lot larger, they make up more than half the blend by volume, though not by number.
Binder - Colombian
Wrapper - Indonesian Besuki
I've been rolling this blend longer than the others, and I've been able to let a few of them sit for about a year. By then they tasted as good as anything I can buy, and better than most.
For a more medium smoke with a little spice, it's Cameroon:
Filler - Dominican, Nicaraguan - 2 Dom volado, 2 each Dom and Nic ligero
Binder - Colombian
Wrapper - Cameroon
When I want a maduro:
Filler - Brazilian, Dominican, Nicaraguan - 1 Dom volado, 1 each Dom and Nic ligero, 3 Brazil Havana Viso.
Binder - Colombian
Wrapper - Connecticut maduro
All tobacco sourced from Leaf Only.
I haven't been able to sit on any of the last two blends yet to see how they rest up.
Someday I may have bands printed for my marca - "Cigarros Rústicos."
If you've seen pictures of my efforts, you know why ...
Insert witty comment here ...
