A healthy amount of premium Latakia is combined with buttery Turkish, Sweet Virginias, tangy Perique and a touch of Nicaraguan cigar leaf for "kick".

Re: Cigar-like Pipe blend?
A week or so ago I went with a friend to a shop that had blending tobaccos out and you could make your own blend. He did a blend that was right around 80/20 mix of VA/Per (maybe closer to 75/25) and it was the most cigar-like pipe experience I've ever had. It was quite spicy and strong, but rendered my tastebuds useless for the remainder of the day - I attempted a cigar afterwards and didn't get much flavor out of it at all.

Re: Cigar-like Pipe blend?
75/25 vaper!!?? holy crap!!! most blends only have less than 5% Perique!!
no wonder you couldn't taste anything later on. that would be insane (i have to try it sometime). of the american blenders that have "cigar leaf" added, i haven't found them to taste very much like a "cigar" at all. woops and BlackDog have already mentioned what i would say tastes most like a cigar. that type of cigar would be like a young and spicy cuban where the twang is slightly muted, like smoking a really fresh Boli CJ or RASCC... the kind that gets your lips tingling. that blend would be G&H Dark Flake (unscented). yes, it can also knock you on your ash. to me, closest pipe tobacco i've had that actually made me think, "hey, this tastes almost like a young cigar" when i wasn't looking for it to happen.

Re: Cigar-like Pipe blend?
I have some 1994 whole leaf Perique that I like to cut up and smoke straight. As for being as strong as some claim, that is completely in error - it isn't that bad. I also like to mix my own with it.

Re: Cigar-like Pipe blend?
i'm gonna have to dip my fingers into some blending perique and give it a twirl on my own.
i've heard that something strong in the Perique dept, like Fillmore, is only 5% perique.

Nevertheless, the H&H Virginia Spice that SlowTriathlete mentioned above, is nice pipe smoke with a cigar edge.

Re: Cigar-like Pipe blend?
I checked in with him - it's 80/20, but still pretty crazy. I'm not saying it was BAD, just very spicy and strong, like a cigar. He claims to have picked out a bit of the perique from the bag lowering the concentration. I'm going to have to give it a go again just for kicks.
