Questions about crafting my own smoking blends.
Hey y’all! I’ve very recently gotten into herbal smoking blends in place of tobacco for my pipes, as while I love the ritualistic and almost meditative nature of pipe smoking, my partner is none too fond of me smoking tobacco of any variety.
I’ve tried some Bear Blend and especially enjoyed their more minty variety, but I’m really interested in trying to put together some of my own blends. Since this is all new to me I thought it would be best to bring up some ideas I had here before actually attempting to blend/smoke anything.
I’m particularly curious if anyone more knowledgeable than myself could help me come up with some blends with a unique flavor profile or aromatic.
Things like
-Something distinctly sweet/spicy? Cinnamon comes to mind but I’m not sure if it should be burned, let alone smoked.
-Would it be possible to infuse my blend with a sort of coffee flavor somehow? Maybe not by adding coffee beans to the blend necessarily, I don’t know if this one is even in the realm of possibility to be honest.
-Something reminiscent of Fall; apples and pumpkins, campfires and s’mores, that sort of thing.
Probably stupid questions honestly, but I was curious if this might spark any ideas. I’d also love to read your favorite blends for inspiration!!
