DIY Tobacco Recipes

The pipe one. Like the one you mix for pipe smoking.

You can maybe try using rum and maple pipe tobacco as your concentrate (referred to as a net concentrate).... if thats the case i advise sending @method1 message and asking for advice on the best method because his one shot mixture is getting rave reviews and it's based off net tobacco... plus he is a champ who I'm sure won't mind helping :)
 
Ok so the flavors are very concentrated then so even starting with a 0.5% will work.

I'm trying to get the real rum and maple taste from pipe smoking mixes. It's my dad's and husband's favorite. So I kinda want to surprise them.

Intentionally getting my dad to stop smoking as well.

I've researched for rum and maple recipes but there aren't many. Or I'm doing the search wrong.

Here is a rum and maple recipy of one of the tobacco masters, @GregF , a rum and maple, a bit more ingredients than the basic one, also one that I want to try. Just click on the link to take you there.

As you can see it is much more involved to get you the actual taste you want to arrive at

Thank you for all the help.

It seems that way. :). Will put the ingredients on my shopping list.

Thank you :)

@Braki in that recipe that @Room Fogger pointed you to I started low on the Maple but when adding the tobaccos it went a bit too far back and I had to up the Maple to 2% to bring it back to the front.
At the current 2% it does get a bit sweet at times as an all day vape, for me anyway, and sometimes I will make a mix with 0.5% off the Rum and 0.5% off the Maple to cut the sweetness a bit.

Lime Party by @Mike of Mike's Mega Mixes has permanent residence in my GEM tank. Love me some Lime, but when I saw this Cuban Heel tobacco recipe with lime, I was somewhat skeptical. A quick Google, however, revealed that this secret has been known for a long time by the Mayan and other cultures and resonated with the Snus and Hookah lovers.

For me FA Virginia is difficult to work with, but it combines perfectly with the FA Cuban Supreme to give a lightly toasted tobacco cigar taste. The tobaccos sweeten the lime, but still unmistakably lime. It really is reminiscent of Lime Party, but a soft Tobacco Lime Party.

From experience with other recipes I know that only FA Lime Tahiti Distilled will work here. No other Lime will give the same awesome effect.

My mix cured for more than a month and I do think this one requires a proper steep.

The percentages in brackets are if you want to do a pre-blend of concentrates.

Cuban Heel
FA Virginia 1.5 % (43 %)
FA Cuban Supreme 1.0 % (28.5 %)
FA Lime Tahiti Distilled 1.0 % (28.5 %)

Total flavour: 3.5 %
Eventually, finally and at last I got some FA Lime Tahiti Distilled.
This is nice and refreshing @Andre. Makes a change from all the heavier tobaccos.
Will make a preblend and at 3.5% it will last quite a while.
 
This is both a desert and tobacco, so I’ll post it here as other RY4’s are also in this thread.

Holy Holy Custard
A velvety vanilla custard blended with rich caramel and touch of tobacco.

This RY4 custard takes a departure from ‘other’ attempts and let the ingredients do the work. I kept this as simple as I could without complicating the mix with unnessary ‘clutter’. Deceptively simple, mouthwateringly rewarding!

I went for my tried and tested INW custard base which acts as the foundation upon which I balance the star of the show...

Holy Holy Grail RY4 is the undisputed supreme master and beautifully imparts it’s inherent creamy caramel and vanilla with the embracing custard base. The tobacco slowly develops and fully rears its head after about 2 weeks, resulting in oral bliss.

The vanilla notes, present in the custard and Holy Holy Grail, is given a subtle boost by the Holy Vanilla and heightens the sweetness just a tad. Holy Vanilla has slight smoky and earthy notes, which plays beautifully with the Holy Grail and compliments it, seemingly naturally.

Give this baby the 2 weeks it deserves but have a taste after a week if you wish.

Holy Holy Custard
2.5% INW Creme Brulee
3% INW Custard
4% DFS HOLY HOLY GRAIL RY4
1% DFS Holy Vanilla

FA Soho @ 12%

I have tried many RY4 types of juices (commercial and DIY) over the years and enjoyed many, but ultimately they all were too sweet for my taste with no real tobacco notes. No doubt, I am part of a small minority. RY4 types are arguably the most popular tobacco juices out there.

My latest try in this category was Solus, recommended by @Petrus and also a @Huffapuff favourite. The most exquisite taste, but still very sweet and heavy for my taste. Chasing that exquisite taste I decreased all the non-tobacco ingredients by 75 % and added FA Bitter Wizard and some Absolute Tobaccos from INW. This exercise had me realize that there might be more to FA Soho than I thought. As I was pondering HIC's wisdom of using FA Soho at 4/5% for standalone against FA's recommendation of 20%, @SthrnMixer entered the mix, recommending 12%. After the fact, I noticed quite a few people on ELR actually recommends using it between 10 and 12%.

Thus, mixed it up at 12% on 8 January 2018 and cracked open the bottle yesterday (15 January 2018) morning. Wow, the best RY4 type I have ever tasted. It is the exquisite element of Solus - imho and with respect to the creator all the other ingredients in Solus do not add much and are not really needed. HIC describes Soho as "a semi-sweet, very smooth, rich Burley-Virginia type tobacco blend with prominent supporting notes of burnt sugar, some deep caramel-vanilla, and a rich backdrop of toasted nuts.". Spot on, but I (and others) do not get much of the nutty taste.

What I like most about Soho is that it has a lightness about it - almost as if a bit of background fruit (not lemon!) was secretly added. As opposed to the heavy sweet of most RY4 types. This means one can vape it for more extended periods of time.

Make no mistake - for my personal, quirky taste this is still too sweet and needs more real tobacco. I will be tweaking it. But, for the vast majority out there, this might just be simple perfection. "Everything you love about RY4 only better" per @SthrnMixer. Very refined imo, @rogue zombie. No need to smother it with other stuff.

Tagging @vicTor and @Adephi, as requested.

hi, mixed this up at 10% and must say that Soho is delicious !!

thanks @SthrnMixer and @Andre
 
I got my delivery yesterday afternoon, I think it needs to be mixed at 12%, but you say 10 is good? Just starting out with the tobacco ones so don't like overpowering taste yet, how does this rate in that category

If you want 12% mix a 84ml batch if my Friday maths is correct

Not overpowering in the tobacco department at 12% at all.

@Room Fogger I like to mix 100ml's at a time so ran with 10% on this one

mixed it up on 14/02 and cracked it open last night 22/02 and I am really enjoying it (my next batch will be at 12% though obviously to see if better at that percentage or not - thought I'd start a little lower and work up)

Im no expert on tasting and since taste is subjective anyway but I'm getting plenty "nutty" flavour, not so much fruity. Lets just say for me this is just what I was after.

also remember that I dont mix with PG, only VG, even VG Nic - only PG i get in my system is from concentrates, thats why one or 2 flavour recipes suit me just fine

mix up a tester bud, Im sure you will like it
 
Just tried the soho mix in my insider tank... must say it's good! Tempted to add something to my next batch... not sure what though :-D
 
@Andre this is the one I was steeping that borrows from Borra.

I'm very happy with it.

DaVinci

INW Gold Ducat 2%
FA Perique Black 1%
FA Fresh Cream 1%
FA Vienna Cream 1%
FA Vanilla (any) 1%

70VG
2 week steep

So Gold Ducat is a wet dark pipe tobacco with a slight Dark Chocolate aftertaste. It's amazing, but I added the Perique for a more "smokey" dry feel. And it works nicely.

The Perique also provides a decent throat hit, so this will be more of a 'drinking' companion juice for me. Up the creams if you want less throat hit.

Then HICs Borra Borra taught me that, what I consider a lot of creams, actually smoothen and enrich tobaccos without turning anything into pudding. Hence the rest of this recipe. The Vienna and Vanilla enrich the dominant flavour - Gold Ducat - nicely.

The result is a nice dark pipe tobacco, with a smoky finish and the dark chocolate aftertaste. It's a keeper for me.

hi @rogue zombie

I would like to try this as I am a tobacco fan also, I know this stems back to 2016 so asking if you changed anything perhaps in this recipe since then ?

regards
 
I have tried a few Cherry Tobaccos. This is the first one I really like.

I taste a very light and mild tobacco with succulent and sunripe-sweet natural red cherry with the faintest of hint of floral. The black cherry (which I am not a big fan of) is still discernible as a backbone - I shall take it down to 0.5 % in the next iteration.

I steeped this for one month, but am sure it should be good to go after about 2 weeks.

hi @Andre

i know this is from 2016 but would like to try it, have you perhaps changed anything on the above recipe since then ?

No, @vicTor, I have not changed it, but neither have I mixed it again, because I much prefer this recipe. The Sakura recipe has a more dominant black cherry taste. I prefer the softer red cherry taste.
