DIY Tobacco Recipes

After a 3 month steep, and tasting all my tobaccos in single mixes, I have gained a better understanding of tobaccos in general. I made a few tweaks to most of my recipes when I made my pre-blends this afternoon. I will share the recipes tomorrow if I get time.
 
Right, as promised I will post some tobacco recipes here. Reason for the tweaks are two-fold; first off, most of the mixes had 3 months + to steep while I use them on MTL setups on my Reos. Then also, I made single flavor mixes of all my tobaccos and steeped for minimum 6 weeks. This taught me some things about individual flavor profiles, as listed here. Then lastly, I have fallen in love INW Tobaccos and am slowly phasing out most of my FA and TFA tobacco concentrates. There are two from FW that I still will replenish when they are finished, but not the FA's.

First up, 7 Guns: I have replaced some stuff to make up for the FA 7 Leaves I no longer use or stock. The FA Cowboy Blend seems to fill the FA 7 Leaves gap quite well for now.

Billy the Kid: No real changes here, maybe a tweak on %'s.

Black Valentine: No changes made on this one. Just gets better and better

Bohannon's Boots: Since I have deleted all the old recipes, I have no idea whether or not I changed anything here :oops:

A dark tobacco and spicy flue cured tobacco, reminiscent of a cowboy roll-you-own. This would probably be what condition boots are in after a long day's work on the railway and chasing off Indians.

Bohannon's Bride: This one originally had FA Forest Fruit in it, and the pipe tobaccos were much lower. I have since realized that both INW French Pipe and FW Coumarin are pretty weak flavors.

What I'm aiming for: This man lives for his gun, has a dark past haunting him and the only reprise is his love for his raped and murdered wife. A dark tobacco, to resemble his past and inner demons, coupled with a sweet fruit to resemble the fond memories of his sweet wife.

Cat-house Nipples: This one has had a bit of a major transformation. Would love to hear your thoughts @GregF
Much as in the Old West, this will be a light golden tobacco with subtle fruit nuances and sweets to remedy the heartache of life on the frontier.

Doc Holiday: After a failed attempt with INW Apple, and not liking it much, I changed things up a bit. I know @GregF also didn't like this one, and since we have very similar tastes, it HAD to change

Durandt's Treachery: To the best of my memory, I didn't change anything on this one, since even @Andre likes it.

A dark and sinister tobacco to go with this sob's character. In Afrikaans one might say "rof, grof en onbeskofte tabak". This won't be for cream and fruit lovers, neither the feint of heart.

@Viper_SA, great to see you sharing your expertise in this thread again. Please edit your posts to include a very short description of each juice - for the Index if you do not mind.
BTW, I left out the Sesame in my mix of Durand's Treachery. Still vaping it as we speak and still loving it.
 
Lt. Gen. Forrest: This is a brand new, never released before recipe. Just a word of warning, though as single mixes they seem tame at higher %'s, INW Dark Fire, INW Black Cat for Pipe and INW Classic for Pipe Dark can be quite dominating.

Grandpa's Pear: An unchanged version, just upped the VG ratio some

Wyatt Earp: I also used to call this 7&7, because it used FA and INW 7 Leaves. With the departure of my FA 7 Leaves, I had to change some stuff. I personally think this is better than the original, but very different as well. I just had to wipe some recipes, as I had Version 1.1, 1.2, 2.1, 3.1 etc all over the place. I needed a clean out and standardize a bit. Eventually I will probably only be using INW tobaccos.

@Andre, @BumbleBee was kind enough to restore my original posts to this thread. In case someone missed it, they are all also up here

I have removed the MTS Vape Wizard from all recipes, though my notes on the original recipes still elaborate on it quite a bit.
 
@Viper_SA OK I have captured V2 of everything......need to start mixing again.
If V2 is better than V1 I am going to kill you. Just mixed a whole lot of preblends of V1 because I enjoyed them so much.:)
 
@Viper_SA I was going to ask you about that Lt General Forrest. I saw it in your premix post.
Looks good, that will most likely be the first to get mixed.

In most cases I'd say "different", not necessarily "better".

The Lt. Gen Forrest... He was one of the most ruthless leaders during the American Civil war, probably more so than even Custer was. He is also famous for other things, but I focused on his ruthlessness in battles for this tobacco.
 
@Viper_SA I see you have excluded the MTS from all your recipes. I assume that was from the testing that you did, because from your notes you say that it mutes the flavours.
 
Oh, and another thing @GregF, I also have like 100ml 7 Guns original left, and a good two to three month supply of V1's. Just wanted to get the pre-blends done to really let them steep properly.

Noted, but descriptions (if not apparent from the name - as said in the OP) are also useful for whomever reads and considers your recipes in this thread.

Original recipes' descriptions are in the thread. Will update the V2 recipe descriptions as soon as I get time @Andre
 
BTW @Andre, if you like Durandt's, I reckon you will also like Forrest.

I was looking at that and it looks like a nice bold tobacco vape.
Both the Classic for pipe and Flue Cured I enjoy and the Kent must round it off nicely.
 
The Classic for pipe and Flue cured I don't think are sweet but the Kent definitely is.
 
I have tried a few INW tobaccos and they all seem to be too sweet for my taste. Thus, I am hesitant to get new one.

As soon as I get new 10ml bottels I'll send you a sample of each of my recipes for review. Just PM me what pg/vg ratio you need and add your own nic. Running a bit low on nic, and I know you like it at 12mg :D

@Viper_SA since you like the inw tobaccos have you had the dark chocolate tobacco from them?

I have it, but haven't used it yet. Only in a single flavor tester. Not bad at all, just need to pair it with something still
