Misting Tobacco with Coffee?

hawke · Aug 30, 2015

I'm sure this has been done so I'd like to hear of what tobacco's you used( I suspect Virginia)and the process you used to achieve a nice coffee casing to the tobacco. Would one maybe grind some coffee and put it in directly to the tobacco or maybe enclose the ground coffee in a cloth pouch?

I've wondered this myself. Hoping to see an answer here.

I've thought about making a coffee scented snuff before. In my research I found out that the fresh coffee smell is very hard to capture as the natural oils from the coffee bean degrade very quickly and what you end up with is something resembling coffee left in the pot at the 7-11 for half a day. Samuel Gawith makes an excellent black coffee snuff so either they've figured out a way to do it with real coffee or they use artificial scenting. Like pipesmokingtom I'd be very interested if anybody knows of a way to do this with real coffee.

My two favorite things being pipe tobacco and coffee, watching this one with interest.
I had no idea there was already a coffee snuff - will have to try this in my next order, thanks!

sw0snuff3r · Aug 31, 2015

There are a few out there rblood but the Samuel Gawith one is by far my favourite.

Well, McClelland's No. 710 has "real Colombian coffee" according to the description. So, it's possible I suppose. Let us know of the results.

Oh, and the coffee snuff sounds interesting.

Burning coffee and the coffee aroma are different. In all of the commercial tobaccos that attempted coffee flavors, they tend to miss the mark, IMO. Coffee is also an odd bird in that you can place coffee beans in a stinky room to deodorize it, and it can be used when smelling different aromas to clear your nose palate. It may be that coffee aromas work differently than other aromas. I would think that if a tobacco did hit the mark on making a coffee aroma, that the company may have had to use some weird chemicals to make it happen. IMO
I do love coffee, but I will stick to drinking it while I smoke, as opposed to smoking it.

edwinbaz · Aug 31, 2015

That's the problem with some aromatics, Cosmic. They are not natural infusions of what it says it smells like, but a chemical aroma profile similar to what it says it smells like that's added to the tobacco. That said, my search turned up Cornell & Diehl's Espresso, Peter Stokkebye 315 Black Coffee, Sutliff Cappuccino, and many others. I'm not an aro smoker, but now my interest has been piqued to see if any of them work.

+1 to what Cosmic said.

cosmicfolklore · Aug 31, 2015

Yeh, I imagine someone is out there right now, smoking some coffee flavored tobacco and drinking tobacco flavored coffee.

jpmcwjr · Aug 31, 2015

Heh, Cosmic!
And, edwin, cappuccino flavored! Do the makers know there's dairy in cappuccini? Eeeeeewwwww.
Great question and as a coffee addict, I await more info.

edwinbaz · Aug 31, 2015

jpmcwjr, I'm sure the folks over at Sutliff use skim milk for that particular blend, so no pipe smoker need worry about their diet. Hahaha.

drinking tobacco flavored coffee

There is tobacco flavored icecream, so you know that somewhere out there, someone is trying this!

edwinbaz · Aug 31, 2015

Hahaha. I can just imagine the posts, chasingembers.

"New PAD and ICAD (Ice Cream Acquisition Disorder)."

Hi. I just purchased a Savinelli Spring 320KS and two 100g tins of Ben & Jerry's English Muffin (a mild english ice cream with virginia and latakia swirls, plus, well, muffins) and a 8oz tin of Häagen-Dazs Full Virginia Sherbet.

jpmcwjr · Aug 31, 2015

Edwin- Quite right! But it's the taste I was concerned with! I hate skim milk but not as badly as other "diet treats" that use fake shit in them.

edwinbaz · Aug 31, 2015

I know. It again comes down to what the companies say it smells like. They named it cappuccino but the toppings are coffee and chocolate (no different than the McClelland Colombian Mocha). I'd hate to imagine them topping it with actual cappuccino. Ugh!

And I have to say, your comment reminds me very much of a Ron Swanson quote. "There's only one thing I hate more than lying. Skim Milk. Which is water that's lying about being milk."

What if tobacco was rehydrated with a coffee dampened paper towel? I use spirits with this method to flavor with rum and scotch with some success.

andrew · Aug 31, 2015

I think you would have success if you infused alcohol with coffee and then used that.

Good point Andy, that looks delicious. I wonder if you could just use coffee liqueur like Tia Maria or Kahlua? Could be too sugary to smoke I suppose.

jpmcwjr · Aug 31, 2015

I will try soaking a piece of terra-cotta in espresso, sticking it in a bag of fairly dry baccy. That should do something! Maybe not good, but something.
