Branzig Reviews: Brucks Batch 15 Virginia W/ Rum Flake

[Bruck]

Sources:
Cigar tobacco from wholeleaftobacco dot com and leafonly dot com.
Cigar and pipe tobacco leaves from thetobaccobutcher dot com.
Some specialty components, such as perique and latakia, from regular pipe tobacco distributors.

Not everything is "from scratch." I also do a certain amount of "rehabilitation" of commercial blends that I bought but no longer like, or never did. For example, a VA/Burley I'm working up right now includes the remains of a pouch of half & half. & in some cases I'll use a perfectly decent (but cheap) commercial blend as a foundation for one of my flake blends, e.g., VA Gold or Captain Black.

Well it is all quality leaf from what I can tell!

Once again, great work!
