I could use some advice from you blenders out there. I’m a non-aromatic guy and I’ve been combing some burley, Virginia, black cavendish, latakia and a touch of izmir. It’s pretty good but not perfect. It’s lacking a little body it needs a bottom. The best way to describe it is to compare it to The Who, for you rock fans out there. Townsend, Daltry and Moon all work great together but they need the bass provided by The Ox, John Entwhistle, to provide the necessary depth. I need John Entwhistle for my mixture. Any suggestions? More latakia? Dark-fired Kentucky? I appreciate any suggestions.

Hard to say because you didn't say what proportions you're using or what Virginias or Burleys. I like Dark Fired Kentucky. A little Perique goes a long way too. As @Grangerous said, unsweetened black Cavendish. (That's seems to bind the flavours in Pegasus and add depth.) Stoved Virginia is good for the same.
