Okay I ask that none of you laugh at this question 😂. I love the smell of three nuns, probably one of my most favorite scents. Since I rent, I cannot smoke indoors but would love a candle that smells like three nuns. One of my tins has gone completely dry, so dry that its practically unsmokable. I was thinking about trying to use that tobacco to make a candle out of it but have no idea how that would work/if it would work. Any ideas if this is even possible?

Soak it in water until soften. Mix with melted candles, and set it to cool. Might not work, but seems like it was heading to a trash can anyway. I guess the tobacco will warm up while the candle is melting and might give off the scent.

The beauty of wax is that its extremely easy to work with. Go to goodwill and by a 50 cent unscented candle and a dollar saucepan that you can trash, a small tumblr glass for another dollar. Melt down the candle, save the wick and add your fully rubbed out tobacco to the mix hold the wick upright and pour the concoction around it into the tumblr glass and let cool. Let us know how it works out.

Or a sheet of beeswax and simply roll the tobacco in the outer layers of it , not with the wick. You might get cited for smoking if the tobacco actually burns.

I don't know if the remaining oils in the tobacco would be released or if you would just have the scent of bees wax.
