we all have our '' packages'' but ive seen no post's describing the result's.

thier is 6 strains to create what we think is the perfect cigg. blend,

allthough i havent done any blending yet, ive tried each strain alone, and here's my result's.

VIRGINIA RED - medium, strenght.. has a nutty taste. good by itself [ for a full flavour cigg. ] may need a burley added, to make it stronger,

LEMON- very very light..... like smoking air... good for a additive with perhaps 3 different strains with it,

TURKISH - [ unkown strain ] extremely light, no flavour,,, perhaps good for a '' mild'' filler with 3 different strains added to it,

VIRGINIA BRIGHT LEAF- medium strenght,,,, good nutty flavour, definatlly a good filler with a little burley added to it... id consider it a '' marlboro light '' when made with no other strains added to it, this cigg. was good by itself with nothing added to it,

FIRE CURED- a little strong,,, good to mix with a light strain.... and good for flavouring,

MARYLAND 609 - kinda light/medium.......... good filler...with a dash of burley, and 2 more strains for flavouring,

i havent blended none of it yet to create the perfect cigg. but im curious of others result's. would you agree, with my initial diagnosis, of the strains we got sent to us,, when rolled alone, with no other bacca but the original strain,:confused:

I thought the Lemon had a ton of flavor. It really did have a lemon flavor complete with some sourness. The Maryland tastes really good but I don't know how to describe it. I also got that perfumy flavor from the Turkish.
Strong flavored like Burley but with some kind of tang.
I'll have to smoke a puro and try to
do it justice.

I noticed on days I'm kind of congested no flavors come through. There were
times when I was blending I took some Sudafed so I could ttaste better. Just wondering of tthat's why you thought the Lemon tasted like air.

I just tried a puro of Maryland, and it has a cigar-type flavor and significant throat hit. I use it in blends like I would Dark Air Cured. In small amounts to add a lot of flavor.

I pretty sure don was saying it was lemon from the color not the taste...but in saying that I can taste the slight sourness at the end..very mild in throat catch hit tho like u said chickn

Find the Maryland will completely over power everything you blend it with if you use too much?same with fire cure
Seems better to use as smaller added flavour additions ..any thoughts
Really like the red though..reminds me of a lot of ryo baccis we get here...winfeild red etc
