@Haebar , as you know, I make primarily pressed flake for pipe smoking. My "recipes" are too varied and numerous to list here, and frankly I never make the same thing twice

My basic drill is to start with a base of either VA or cigar rolling scraps (fermented VA, basically), then add stuff for flavor profile and balance - burley, cavendish (usually made by steaming cigar scraps), latakia, oriental, Maryland, perique. I usually add some kind of flavor/sweetener, such as a peach/vanilla topping that @Madbricky concocted, a rum/molasses/vanilla mix, or an ounce or so of an aromatic.

I recommend smoking components individually just to get a feel for their individual characteristics, then simple combinations to see how they interact, then work your way up to more complex blends. IIUC, this is the process professional blenders employ. They do this in cigar blending school as well.
