Blending components

Post by TRS »

Does anyone know a good source? I know about McClelland, but I'm looking for more varieties of VA. I've just discovered that C&D has some more options, but are there any more bulk blending components out there, especially VA varieties? Also, anyone know where you can get specific varieties of whole leaf VA? Just curious, thanks.

Smokingpipes.com carries a few Peter Stokkebye blending components under bulk tobaccos. Their C&D blending tobacs are $19 a pound. I've been real tempted to start blending just to stock up on top shelf tobaccos for $20 a lb.

Artisans never finish their work – they merely abandon it.
Ideally, they abandon it at that point, where they are not sure if change, will improve or diminish it.

I love the Gawith Hoggarth bulk flakes.

Great stuff.

For whole leaf I know of no better place than www.wholeleaftobacco.com and if you sign up on the www.fairtradetobacco.com forum i think you can get even better discounts. I've been working on planting a little tobacco patch this year and those guys have been a huge help.
