Happy Accident (Thanks Bob Ross...)

[Dudditz]

The other day I had two drying plates with some excess tobacco sitting in them. Father Dempsey and Sir Walter Raleigh. Being too lazy to recover either jar and put the remnants back, I mixed them both together 1:1 ratio and threw it in a cob.

Expecting nothing more than my nicotine fix when I lit the bowl, I was more than pleasantly surprised on how well (to me at least) these two brands mixed together tasted. I was actually making dopey yummy sounds when my wife asked me if I was feeling ok...

I explained my excitement and she was appropriately distracted by something much more important and left me to sit and ponder my discovery... (i.e. Happy Accident) I then mixed up a small jar of Sir Walter Dempsey/ Father Raleigh and put it aside for future enjoyment.

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone else has stumbled across something like this in your experiences and what was it?

Ok I’ll be your huckleberry, is this 1:1 ratio?

Ok I’ll be your huckleberry, is this 1:1 ratio?

1:1 ratio is a common method of measuring. 1 part X to 1 part Y. So equal amounts of both.

For example, a classic vinegarette dressing is 1:3 vinegar to oil or 1 part vinegar to 3 parts oil. Add mustard, salt, pepper, herbs and/or garlic to taste.

... really?

That being said since he didn't put ratios I asked.

Really.

And you now know the base to every vinegarette dressing; albeit simple is often better. Enjoy.

I've tried every ratio of Vinaigrette and it don't matter, none of them smokes worth a damn....

That it is.

1/1 , 5 brothers & Bold Dark Fired
1/1 , 5 brothers & Kendal Dark

I used to mix Prince Albert and black cavendish 50/50. I called it Fat Albert. It’s a nice cool, sweet smoke.
5 Brothers mixed with a little GH Kendal Gold Vanilla Shag is a good one too.

 

[Servant King]

Two parts Ashton Gold Rush, one part Sutliff Black Swan. If you've got a sweet tooth like I do, you'll dig the combination of sweet sugary desert and lemon tart. I call it "Achilles Peel."

 

[--dante--]

Two parts Kellys Coin to one part C&D Granulated Perique (not an accidental discovery,
just wanted to make it bur/per once in a while).

Also, I frequently mix Five Brothers and D&R Two Timer 50/50, resulting in a blend I like
more than either on their own. This was not my idea, another forum member posted
this on 'What Are You Smoking Today' thread ( @Paul lec )

50:50 (now THAT'S a ratio) #400 newminster flake with Mcclelland turkish ribbon, I call it 'Gollum's Own' because it is......my precious.

 

[kcghost]

I couldn't anything with anything else and come up with anything remotely smokable.

 

[sardonicus87]

I dunno what the ratio is, but occasionally I get tempted to try the Forbidden Blend for shits and giggles. It's a stoved aromatic American balkan?

 

[StringBEan]

I like to mix a little autumn evening in with my remaining non-aromatics when the drying plate has a bit extra. Squadron Leader worked great at a 2:1 ratio, and a 1:1 with Scottish mixture from my local B&M was a daily smoke for a while there. When I want a super strong room note, I’ll even mix 1:1 autumn evening with vanilla custard. Even non-smokers love that smell.

2.5 ounces of gin, 1/2 ounce vermouth, ice and a twist of lemon pill or olive, yeahyou can used vodka but…..

I like to mix four ounces of Lane 1Q with one pouch of Five Brothers. Really serves to give the 1Q a nice bit of kick.

I remember going into a pipe shop years ago and, like I always do, I checked out their house blends with my nose. I sniffed one and instantly knew it was 1Q. I looked at the label and the shop called it "Ladies Love It".
