That is really cool. I would definitely try it.
I have recently been trying to get a hold of some Snake Oil Tobacco Bitters, but the only place I could find that carries it, Cocktail Kingdom, is sold out.

Even in this article they find a way to demonize tobacco. Be careful, it is much easier to overdoes on liquid nicotine.

Might make a good drink though. I might try one.

I think a great deal of effort has been put into trying to find alternate markets

for the tobacco leaf, and apparently this is one of them. Biofuel, animal feed,

and various pharmaceuticals and make-up, none of these wildly viable. I sort

of like the bourbon in one hand and the tobacco pipe in the other, but that's

just me. Probably nicotine has some pharmaceutical use, but the amount of

tobacco leaf required would be minute.

It's not demonizing tobacco, it's a fact. There's nothing fun about nicotine overdoses http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicotine_poisoning

Loose pipe tobaccos generally lack many, if not all, of the approximately 600 ingredients which are added to most cigarette tobaccos, including cancer-causing chemicals like tar, carbon monoxide, arsenic and benzene. Though there are plenty of completely additive-free pipe tobaccos on the market, many do include natural and artificial flavorings, sweeteners, and anti-drying agents to extend shelf life. In general, however, pipe tobacco offers mixologists tobacco in its purest form, with the cleanest flavor.
Sounds more like it's promoting pipe tobacco as a better tobacco if anything.
