DIY Tobacco Recipes

Just mixed up 4 of my Hell on Wheels tobacco ideas.
1. Bohannon's Bride
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.

2. Bohannon's Boots:
What I'm aiming for: 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.

3. Durandt's Treachery
What I'm aiming for: 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.

4. *****'s Nipple
What I'm aiming for: 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.

Will update after at least a two-week steep.
Saddled up and awaiting orders, sounds very promising...
 
Just a quick update on the Hell on Wheels series. Last night, day 1 after mixing, I aired out the bottles a bit and tasted a drop from each on my finger. Was very pleased with it. Tonight, I had a few drops of each in a Cyclone. Will add my notes thus far in a different color

So far the creamy fruits are coming through great, resembling fond memories of his wife. A very slight bitter taste (toasted almond), but very very slight to accent the irony of his life. The "dark" tobacco is more of a rich deep pipe tobacco, and not all that dark, but I still like where it's going.
This one comprises of 10 flavors, so some steeping will reveal all I hope.

2. Bohannon's Boots:

This one is made up only of 4 tobaccos and MTS Vape Wizard. Very much like I imagine early cigarettes, and has quite a distinct "bitter" flavor. Almost like when I add clove to tobacco or higher % Burley, but no clove or burley added. Might be the spice from the Turkish blend popping right now on day 2. Back to steeping, but very happy with it thus far.

3. Durandt's Treachery
What I'm aiming for: 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.
This one uses 5 tobaccos, MTS Vape Wizard and Sesame. Also a slightly "bitter" note, but not like clove, more like a gin-n-tonic bitter. Very rich, deep, dark tobacco flavors. With just enough warmth to let Durandt in for a back-stab. I definitely see myself vaping this with a good single malt or 20+ brandy. In a Hugh Hefner gown with my slippers on. I think the FW Ankara adds that faint "herbal" note that is just enough to keep you guessing without being able to pin-point what it reminds you off.

4. *****'s Nipple
What I'm aiming for: 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.
This one tasted great last night on my finger. Tonight.... Not too sure. The sweet, fruity fragrance comes through just enough for a western lady of the night's nipple, but the tobacco is hidden away a bit for me. Used Vienna cream in this one. Might try a different cream. Using two tobaccos, Vienna cream, berries and maple syrup in this one. Maybe Catalan cream, or Fresh cream would be better that the Vienna Cream. Will see how it steeps. Will refrain from tasting tomorrow night and try to wait for the weekend.
Will update after at least a two-week steep.
 
just got INW cuban cigar today.
its a strange taste. but i like it! like alot of the tobacco flavours they either you love it or hate it.

I think it is relatively new. They used to have a tobacco absolute called Cuban Cigar, but this one seems to be a concentrate. I reckon it should mix well with other cigar flavours like TFA Cubano, FA Cuban Supreme, etc.

After vaping on these two all day today, alternating between the two, I feel I can release two of the 4 recipes to you all. I'd love some feedback from anyone who mixes it.

I have bad some that @Andre sent me. I believe he is working on something along those lines. I loved their Rasputin flavor.

One of the finest tobaccos I've had. Haven't come close to even being in the same park as it... I know there is clove in it. The rest is a mystery.

Thanx VSA, keep us updated as yours cure, I'm definitely going to try one of these at the end of the month, think Durandt's Treasury is going to suite my fancy. Ye steeping time on these tobacco flavours seems to bring out the best. Working on a pipe tobacco now, added 2% tramisu (FTA) and 2% Marshmellow (FTA), and it's just getting better and better with time, on 2 weeks at this stage.

Yeah, their cigar is called Matador - awesome. No trying to copy that for me too. It is a NET. I can send you a sample if you like?
 
@Andre do you mean the nuices or the concentrates? Juices came out fairly close to what I was aiming for. Bohannon's Boots came out like a cross between a DK tobacco and a turkisb blend. Rough around the edges (the Westwrn is a beauty to work with, and much better than DK or 555, but very close). Also close to the FA Glory, but more dry and bitter. Less girly if you will. The Turkish adds nice spicyness and some more bitterness.

The US Red just accents the Turkish IMO and the Flue Cured just adds a little extra dimension to the Western. The Wizard just seems to round off and bring together different tobaccos well in my limited experience with it.

Durandt's Treachery is a dark, almost musty and bitter pipe tobacco. Has a nice 'warm' note on the exhale, but not everytime. A little unpredictable, and keeps me vaping it to find that mote again and again. Might be tbe toich of Sesame coming through. The dirty neutral base is like a good mjxer tobacco, fornpipe or cigarette IMO. The FW Ankara is very herbal and bitter, much like Storm, but much darker and with less of a menthol/camphor note. More of a woody note. The FW latakia is much darker than the FA version, with more depth and warmth. Love it. A bit like a blend of Amphora and Black Cavendish, with a bit of a bitter note to it. The Dark Vaoure and Black Smome taste very much alike to me, and just adds depth and smomy tones. Again, Wizard added to hold things together.
 
I apologize for that typing job from my phone :oops:
 
Hi Greg don't know if you have all the ingredients, but these ones on valley vapour site is quite amazing, mixed, shaked and vaped my first batch last night and is totally awesome from the start, link below.

https://valleyvapour.co.za/category/tobacconet/

22% for those 3 flavours seems a bit hectic. I'm keen to try it out, has anybody else had success with it? I assume that 8% bavarian cream will need quite a long steep too?
 
I've tried the RY4 DoubLE Good, very nice from the start, but down the % on the caramel and Bavarian if you dont like it to sweet, almost finished with my 100ml after 2 weeks, my opinion is that the
