Right. I know what you are saying about with the wrapper, but I have never seen the actual flavors of certain fillers broken down like this before, so now that I know what these fillers should taste like, I wanted to see if I could pick up on them as fillers in another cigar.

Interesting how many people keep stacking up very sweet fillers, i hope this thing doesnt end up tasting like a pixi stick.
No matter how the fillers turn out, I should be able to pick the right primings for them and a higher priming wrapper to offset. If they are too sweet, I may have to offer a shorter list of binder options to make sure it balances. Should be okay. Worst case, we change the fillers down the line after we get the samples.

I noticed that too. Without any knowledge of how the tobacco will taste when blended, I tried to pick my fillers based on what I thought would achieve a good balance point. I guess we'll see how it all turns out.
I pknow I stacked the sweet but I was looking at the pther parts of the description a lot too. While I like some sweetness in my cigars, I don't like them overly so. The words I keyed in on were flavorful, complex and cedary.

If I feel like the top 3 are not going to mesh well, we may swap out #3 for #4 etc, but we can cross that bridge when we get there. for now, everyone should just go with their gut.
Habano Panama, Alemania Germany, Cubita Columbia. Not sure how those will meld but it seems very interesting to me. Sweet, toasty and peppery. My mouth is watering. I'm thinking Cuban Cabinet or SC Sumatra like flavors coming out of this cigar. Hey Alex you could sell it to CAO as the CAO Duetscheland!
Okay here are my choices.....Habano Somoto Nicaragua, seeing as it splits the difference between the Condega and the Jalapa it might make a good base......Habano Copan Honduras, to impart good chewy, earthiness.....Habano Dominican to give the blend some cedar and leather which I have always liked in an earthy blend....Combine that with a PA maduro binder to add a hint of spicey sweetness, complexity and oiliness for a good burn and that shoud do nicely!...Of course I know absolutely nothing about blending tobacco and I didn't sleep in an Holiday Inn last night so take it for what it's worth! :-))))
