Home made aromatic blends?

[Jbg]

Anyone have and luck making a commercial type aro?
I am starting to smoke my pipes more and find that the aros are more enjoyable to me.

I’ve flavoured homemade blends using commercial tobacco - either adding it as my cavendish component or using a small amount (like less than 5%) to flavour the leaf as i stoved it. I also put some of this years ground lugs in the pouch that my bulk GH dark flake scented came in for a few weeks and it soaked it all up.

what aros are you drawn too?

Right now I'm really liking the liquor blends like peter stokkebye Highland whisky and sutliff spiced rum. Sutliff coffee is up there pretty high too.

Cool man. I’d say all of those flavours are something you could definitely try at home. If it were something I wanted to do I’d try making a jar of cavendish in a slow cooker and incorporate the flavouring into the stoving liquid added to the leaf. I have a couple of mates who have made Tonkin heavy casings that they apply after with some good success

Have you tried GH sweet whisky twist?

My closest approximations would be ones that include my flue cured cavendish which is made by the pressure cooker method, with 2% glycerin by weight (during the cooking), and whisky equal weight to the tobacco after the cooking, (which was only added to stop mold).

This is then used as a blending component, maybe 33%-50% in a blend. Alcohol based vanilla narrows it into the aromatic category and various flavourings in small amounts just to tweak.

The glycerin adds an I don't know what which really brings it into the commercial aromatic vibe.

Nope, sounds like thats right up my alley though.

Glycerin might the key, I haven't tried using it in pipe blends.

The closest tobacconist is 100 miles away. The local tobacco shop only has velvet pipe tobacco and a half a dozen different brands of "pipe" tobacco for ryo, they had some smokers pride whiskey and cherry cavendish and they came home with me.

I think I might can order in pipe tobacco but Arkansas has some really f'ed up vice laws. No cigarettes, smokeless, cigars, ryo tobacco, beer, wine, liquor. And the taxes on tobacco products are HIGH.
