Fantastic spicy pipe.
If you don't like the light ash Kentucky brings to the mix sub flavorah cured. If you want more ash add some DNB
I enjoy it with .5% dnb but thats my taste.
The oriental adds to the spice in the am4a the burley helps support the darker tobacco vibe. I originally had the burley higher but it started to bring out a bunch of chocolate type flavors and felt too dark. I lowered the burley and upped the oriental to brighten it up somewhat.
Enjoy
I welcome any criticism, comments and tips as I have only in the last 4 months been fooling with flavorah tobacco in recipes
I like your process, thx for sharing that. If my Am4A is still good I'd like to give this a try. Definitely a tobacco lover's mix and an interesting one. I haven't mixed a combo like this as of yet.
