Commerical Blending on AceFour's Notebook

Dix & Whiskey Dix Tobacco

Mon, 16 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Dix tobacco blend started out as a joke for me to derail tobacco forum threads. I will not expand on the derailment but it was always successful.

Of course everyone said I need to make the actual blend. So I literally tossed some things together and everyone loved it, especially when Carter Hall briefly disappeared off the market.

Original Dix formula was:

42% Sutliff Maryland
21% Sutliff J4 Burley
19% Dunhill 3 year Virginia and later replaced with McConnel 5 year Virginia when Dunhill went bye-bye
19% Sutliff 515 RC-1 Red Virginia

Dix was a really good old codger blend. Of course continued derailment of the forum threads that we came up with Whiskey Dix, the aromatic version of Dix.

This one I never sold at the local shop. I did make it and gave out to a few friends. Once again, with Sutliff/MacBaren being knocked out at the end of January I am releasing the recipe. I can be blended up with equal parts of:

Sutliff Z79 Creamy Butterscotch
Sutliff SP24 Nougat
Sutliff B20 Cavendish
Sutliff TS9 Maryland

Red Queen V

Scandinavian Tobacco Group purchased Sutliff Tobacco and they will be moving the operations overseas. When STG did this with Lane’s Tobacco they cut the tobacco line. Red Queen V was the first blend (well fifth iteration) I made with commercial components. Given it will be unknown if the components will be available after operation cease here in the USA, I am publishing the recipe. This is not to be confused with Red Queen Plug which is made from raw leaf tobacco that can be obtained from WholeLeafTobacco.com.
