Just wanted to let you guys know what i stumbled upon after many failed experiments with flavoring my own tobacco and countless dollars spent on tasteless aromatics. Scouts honor i am in no way affiliated with this company in any way...i just want to help those in search of real flavor...in my case i was about to give up and lay down my pipe for good til i found Louann gourmet oils on the wedding/cake making isle in walmart. Its in the craft dept. Not the grocery side. These oils are said to be 4 times as strong as regular extracts. Their website claims 5 drops will flavor a whole pound of chocalate!!! They contain no sugar and because they are to be used for high temperature candy making, they are perfect for tobacco. The flame from a lighter wont produce the bitter burnt sugar taste that normal sugar based extracts do. It will run you a little over 2 bucks for a pack of 2 tiny bottles. Be sure to pick up a dropper because trust me...a dab will do ya! The only downside is walmart only carries 2 or 3 flavors but they have over 75 of them on their website. No biggie considering most of us buy tobacco online. They also sell droppers and bottles in case you may want to mix some to make a custom flavor. I dont remember the site just google louann gourmet oils. They have larger sizes too. Good luck and good smoking!!! Message me if you try it. Id like to know how it worked for you. Also if you have a successful recipe of your own id love to try it!!!

Sparingly and well tumbled for a long time, to get it titrated down to almost nothing. The eyedropper,
and then not much in that. Otherwise, you will create what we always complain about bitterly when
a commercial blender does it, goopy, perfumey, gag reflex stuff that probably burns with the fragrance
of a chemical dump. Aromatics smoke best when you barely taste or smell the flavor. Peterson's Irish
Whisky where the whisky is really remote a day after you open the tin.

I've really been wanting to try something like this for a while. There are plenty of blending tobaccos to choose from at 4 Noggins. I saw something somewhere about blending tobaccos in a crock pot? Not sure where I read that. Anyone have any ideas?
A crock pot? Hmmm.. can't be any worse than my idea of using a salad spinner to force any unwanted moisture away.
I've heard of crock pots being used to steam tobacco, put tobacco in covered jar and place in crock pot filled with water on low setting for something like 12 hours.
I'm wondering if it would just be better to mix your various tobaccos together and let then marry for a few weeks in a mason jar before smoking.
I recently threw all my tasteless baccy on trays and dried to a crisp then canned them in a homemade sauce...im waiting a month before opening...lol the lengths we will go too...if only a baccy company would start making "FLAVORMATICS" after all who gives a damn if others like the aroma??? Im smoking for MY ENJOYMENT!!!
