DIY Tobacco Recipes

I am not a big fan of fruit in tobacco but this is quite nice for a change of pace.
The peach is quite refreshing. There might be a bit too much custard for me, which I am not used to, but it does top it off nicely.
The Oak barrel Whiskey gives it a nice edge.
Very smooth vape

Ole Paps Spiked Peach Tobacco
FA Oak - 2.5%
INW Peach - 1.5%
FA Shade - 1%
CAP Vanilla Custard v1 - 6%
FA Virginia - 2.5%
FA Whiskey - 2%

Off the bat it was very peachy and the custard was too much. Give it 3/4 weeks and it smooths out nicely.

As per Hic's notes....If it was me I would just leave it out or maybe 0.25% caramel

"2% standalone. Fairly neutral, smooth, light-medium brown tobacco flavor with
background of caramel; mildly sweet. Shade tobacco is often used to wrap cigars, so a
little FA Shade is an authentic addition to cigar recipes. If your tobacco blend is too
harsh, Shade can lightly sweeten and will add nice smoothness as it ages. Shade is a
step up in tobacco intensity from Maxx Blend; the two share a similar caramel-honey
background flavor, so they combine well. Small amounts of Shade make an intriguing
replacement for caramel in non-tobacco recipes, especially bakery vapes."

But I also dont think it needs that much Custard.

I'm going to try that with 2% INW Custard
Let me know how that goes. I dont want to make a pre-blend of this just yet but the lower custard might sway me.
 
I love this thread

Just reading it makes me get all excited. I just wish I had more time to experiment. Thanks for tantalising us with your recipes @GregF . One day I am going to mix some of these! That peach one sounds fabulous.
 
Good evening all my Tobacco friends. I am wondering if any of you have tried the smooth famous tobacco yet??? My second 100ml is busy steeping, a real winner for me.
@Petrus it's too "bakery" for me. Not that its horrible, I will keep it for a change of pace but I think I am going to try this version. It has more tobacco.
@Andre you mentioned you were going to mix another version as well. Did you? which one? and how was it?

I mixed it as below in the end. A combination of @Petrus's version and the version you mention. Left out the FA Soho for it is very sweet. Tweaked some of the other ingredients to what I think will suit my palate. Mixed on 16 May, so still some steeping to go.

I mixed this up about a month ago. The percentages of the Black Fire and Cuban Supreme got my attention.
Just made a small 10ml tester.

Deep and Smoky
Black Fire (FA) 8%
Cuban Supreme (FA) 6%
Oak Wood (FA) 1%
Royal (FA) 1.5% (I left it out)
Shade (FA) 2%

It taste and smells like sitting around a camp fire and breathing in all that smoke. Not very nice and way too harsh. Like chewing a piece of hickory.
But before @Andre complains that I have posted something against his thread rules I must add this:-
It is a very descent additive. If you need to add more of a smoke taste to a tobacco recipe try this. Just a little adds a nice smokey touch. My 10ml sample has become a new concentrate. I added it to the Real Stinkies and was pleasantly surprised.
No need to index @Andre, I just wanted to share.

Hehe, I also have made a recipe with high Black Fire with the same result! Learnt my lesson.
 
I need to make an elderly long-time smoker a good "hearty" tobacco, or he won't leave the cigs entirely. I could tell his "Donuts juice" wasnt doing anything for him.

Needs good throat hit, and be unmistakably tobacco.

He is using a Melo 3 Pico.

I'm thinking Gitanes Homepage, yes? But at what milligrams?

Gitanes needs a long steep. Another option is Camel Lights, which I have had good success with for newbies to tobacco. A one week steep should be ok.

Another option is FLV Kentucky Blend - shake and vape. Toasted pipe tobacco taste.

Milligram - add 3 mg to what he is vaping currently, e.g. if 12 mg make the tobacco 15 mg.

Also busy converting an elderly in his mid sixties, been a pensioner and smoking cheapest available, lost his wife about a year back on heart failure due to pheunomia/emphysema. Started on a kangertech top box mini I borrowed him and 12 mg HIC's light american cigarette, 15 watt, 1ohm coil, tight draw. Recendly ordered him the pico/ melo kit and made him the cherry cigar and dropped nic to 9 mg and up the watts to 18 watt, still smoking the odd here and there cig. Ordered for his son a subbox mini-C kit a week back and he is off the cigs on 6mg, 25 watts. Different strokes for different okes, I guess.

Just a question. If I make him a 100ml bottle Kentucky Blend, will it fade if he takes his time with it?

Or does it mature well?

I use it straight up s&v at 4% and do not notice any difference over time. Granted I don't make 100ml but 20ml can last a month with all my other mixes.

Good to know @Andre @GregF ... thank you.

I'll whip up a Kentucky so long, get him going. And make a Gitanes and cure it for him.

@rogue zombie maybe not even that long for the Gitanes. I also pro bono for a pensioner in hospital and she likes her Gitanes fresh and harsh. You know the pleasure of opening a new pack of cigarettes and smelling the almost damp earthiness of fresh cigarettes - like that. She uses Twisps and a Nautilus that I gave her. She's fine on 10 MG.
 
From what I've heard, Flv Cured is the bad fader. The other Flv tobaccos are less prone to fading.
 
Winston Lights Tobacco

0.2% TFA Acetyl Pyrazine 5%
1% FA Cowboy Blend
1% FA Madagascar ( Vanilla Classic )
4% FA Virginia

I have mixed it 50/50 PG/VG with at least 5 days steep.
Original Recipe here
Discussion Thread here
Just to comment on this one. Mine just finished a 3 week steep and this is actually pretty damn good.
 
This started off as a project to try and create a Rum and Maple Tobacco juice.
You will see from the original thread that I stopped at this point because I was happy with how the juice had turned out.
Not that it is a true representation of a Rum and Maple Tobacco, I still need to try a few things to get to that stage, but this is tasty in it's own right.

Greg's R&M
FA Burley - 2.5%
FA Virginia - 1.5%
FA Jamaican Rum - 2.5%
FA Maple Syrup - 2%
FA Oak - 1.5%
FA Black Fire - 0.5%
FA Latakia - 0.5%
FA Custard - 0.5%
FA Vienna Cream - 0.5%

You open the bottle and you can smell the rum and maple. This is nowhere near as sweet as it looks. It is smooth and light on the tobacco side and I would guess most people would prefer it like this. For myself on the other hand I wanted something a little stronger and more in the pipe tobacco line so I added

INW Classic For Pipe - 0.5%

The website blurb for Classic For Pipe "Taste of brown sugar, oak and rum on a strong tobacco base"
So it fits in perfectly with the theme. It adds strength and wraps everything up in a pipe tobacco but it does make it a little sweeter, again though, I do not find this overly sweet.

I think the base (without the Classic For Pipe) could go well with a few other tobacco concentrates and I intend trying that at some stage but for now I am quite happy as it stands.

Give it at least 3 weeks for everything to settle.
Longer might be better I don't know, it never gets that far.
