Welcome. Thank you for joining us.
I used to smoke Marlboro red. I currently use
45% flue cured Virginia
20% Burley
20% Maryland
5% dark air
10% oriental
Alot of guys just start with flue cure, burley, and oriental and then play around from there. I don't use flavorings. Once you try whole leaf, you won't go back and you won't worry about trying to duplicate a chemical laden, nasty flavored commercial cigarette. Whole leaf is way better. Mine is a pH balanced full flavor blend with plenty of layers to the flavor due to the different varieties.
For a light cigarette, use light tubes. To my knowledge the only difference is the holes at the filter/tube juncture to allow more air into the mixture after the smoke has passed the filter.

You don't happen to be from Kentucky, do you? Knuck's blend is very good and a great suggestion, but you might also try just straight red virginia stuffed in a light tube: could be just the ticket. It all depends on taste. The budget manual shredders from WLT are good for cigs
Than you much!!!
Yes I do live in KY, thank you for that info.
