Caribbean Cigar blend recipe

[ChrisN]

Hi,
I am looking for a Caribbean cigar blend recipe. Not sure how much of each plant to use to make a Caribbean cigar. Also, have read that Catterton and Symbol 4 have been used in cigar filler as well. It also will help me see how many of each species I should plant. Here are the seeds/plants I have. I also have a Cigarette recipe blend thread going as well, will be getting some oriental seeds, maybe Prilep. Thank you very much! Take care. Chris

I always recommend, whether using home grown or purchased cigar tobaccos, to roll a small puro cigar of each leaf and make tasting notes. Each year's crop is a little different, and your local climate and soil will add some uniqueness to your homegrown. You can then use your notes to start formulating blends. Blending is a lot of art, and a smidge of science. Have fun!

Thank you very much, GreenDragon! I guess I'll need to learn how to roll a small puro cigar and describing tasting notes. I am not very good at describing tasting notes. This year's grow might just be more so of blending and making recipes.

Where can I find information on describing the taste notes of tobacco? I just usually say it's smooth or whatever I think it seems to be like

My tasting notes:
Ewww - bad
Ehhh - okay
Mmm - great

I've used this one in the past. There are many others out there.
