Flavoring tobacco???

[eaglerico]

Does anyone actually add anything to their tobacco to enhance the flavor? I recently tried a few new blends and wasn't impressed but do not want to dispose of the the tobacco. Other then mixing with other blends what can I do to give them a better flavor profile?

Careful !! What you put in is what you'll be smoking. ::

That is why I am asking my question. I don't want to get sick, but surely there are things that can be done. How else do we have so many different flavor profiles in the tobacco world?

A cap of Jamsonsen or a capfull of Bourbon (Makers Mark) should work pour one or two capfulls in and massage the flaovring into the tobbaco pouch. I can either ask for the dregs from my Bartender or sneak out the back of Station Square and find some on my own. If too wet leave pouch open in warm dry room for 20 mins and you should be fine.

A nice dark rum(not the spiced stuff) helps some not that great blends. I spread the tobacco out on the table and use a spray bottle to lightly mist it.

Thanks guys. I will give them a try.

I've alwayshad this question but never asked, it seems as if "casings" are just flavors spritzed onto the tobacco at some point or another. So why cant we do that ourselves?

 

[unclearthur]

Casings are a"sauce" that the tobacco is soaked in. Toppings are just sprayed on.

we can do anything they do, if we do it right.
as for flavouring, my favourite is semi-dry petals. (only from non-poisonous flowers of course)
