This is a variation of a rudimentary recipe I made for Christmas last year. Made a few changes and the results are great! Cut is perfect, salt, flavoring and moisture are perfect. Now the trick is to get the results in a large batch. Very proud of this one as it is 100% leaf grown at home in 2024.
1.4 Oz .8mm shred KY17 Burley
. 6 Oz .8mm shred Small Stock Black Mammoth
2/3 cup distilled water brought to boil in 2 tsp sea salt. Add half salt water to tobacco in initial cooking phase. 24 hrs in crockpot at 175*F. After first 24 hours dump tobacco and stir in 1/2 of remaining salt water. Now I cook 48 hours same temp. Combine 3/16 tsp bakers ammonia, and 1 1/4 top washing soda to leftover salt water blend into slurry and thoroughly mix into tobacco then cook again overnight. Dump into bowl and add 5 drops vegetable Glycerin and 1.5ml Lorann Cinnamon Oil. Cover with coffee filter for initial 72 hours in refrigerator stir then place regular canning jar lid for 4 days, once a week I stir and check moisture. This batch was done cooking on Jan 3 so it has been resting in the fridge for 15 days with periodic stir and let stand.
This method is well known on this forum so I should thank @Copenhagenforever, @squeezyjohn and @wruk53 for passing on their own experiments.

1.5ml of Cinnamon oil was reached in .5ml increments until I got the desired burn.
Hope this helps someone refine their own recipe.20250118_100401.jpg

Just a follow up after handing out some samples this week and further testing myself, the best batch I've made thus far. Today would make it 21 days of rest and really showed improvement in the last week taming down the ammonia. Nicotine level I would rank 7/10. Nice balance of Cinnamon burn without overpowering the tobacco's flavor. Hopefully my Natural batch from the same week is just as good.
