DIY Tobacco Recipes

This is the quintessential English Blend for me. The mild pipe tobacco of Virginia with Latakia and Desert Ship providing hints of bold black tobacco and spice respectively. On top a bright note provided by the Oba Oba, suggestive of essence of orange (Grand Marnier). Smoothed out by the Vanilla and Vienna Cream. This reminds me much of Rocket Sheep Enterprise, but without the too sweet dessert (custard) addition. A bright, mild, smooth and perfectly balanced tobacco for an all day vape.
Mine cured for one month.
English Blend
FA Virginia 1.8 %
FA Vienna Cream 1.0 %
FA Oba Oba 1.0 %
FA Vanilla Classic 1.0 %
FA Desert Ship 0.6 %
FA Latakia 0.6 %
Hehe, the First Law of DIY - you will always be at least one concentrate short. The DIY vendors love this Law!
Lol
At least the FA Tobaccos will last you months.

Now and then, when you have the least expectations, a recipe turns out to be awesome. This is one of those. I found the recipe here.

Going to try this without the Oba Oba, yes because I don't have it. The rest looks like it should be quite nice.
Thanks
Did I hear correctly - Alien Visions no longer making Bobbas and Gorilla Juice?A boba's clone .. that's the dream
Half way through my last bottle of Boba's

Correct, they've discontinued most of their "classics"
Damn. I loved Gorrilla Juice, but didnt buy enough

Yeah, I read that one of their suppliers closed down. Fortunately I was never a Bobas fan.
Ah, well that would explain the lack of clones - they were then using non-commercial concentrates.

Gosh, FA Virginia is a bit... ahem... grassy, isn't it?
I've only just started sampling the tobacco flavours. I'm not sure how I'd describe FA 7 Leaves. It's tobacco-ish but then also not so much. I can see how HIC uses this in non-tobacco recipes. And Virginia, wow, it's like I vaped my lawnmower's grass cuttings box after leaving it full in the garage for a month. Not really what I expected from FA tobacco. Although I suppose the trick is to blend them rather than using standalone. I think I could get into these, though, I'm rediscovering my taste for tobacco after hating it post-smoking.

I also havent won with any FA standalone.
They are great mixers. But trying them alone is good to get an idea of what mixes well with what.

From what I have read FA Glory is great on its own. I have a tester in the curing cupboard at 2 % with just 0.3 % FA Black Fire. Shall let you know.Gosh, FA Virginia is a bit... ahem... grassy, isn't it?

But some great mixes with FA tobaccos. Think I prefer FA to INW, the tobacco is more authentic for me, but have not tried that many from INW to really judge.
FA Virginia is just perfect for me in this English Blend.
@Huffapuff, does Black Fire work as advertised and is it a worthwhile addition for all tobacco flavours, or just some in your view?
For me if you want to get into tobacco flavors you are going to need
FA Oak
FA Burley
FA Black Fire (not necessary but it does add a smokey taste)
been a busy boy tonight mixing up a few things.
All of these I have been waiting to try and finally got hold of all the missing ingredients.
Most from @Viper_SA that are posted in this thread and also here. Some I added extras as per recommendation.
Billy the Kid
Black Death
Black Gold (I upped the Black Cat for Pipe to 1.5)
Bohannon's Boots
Bohannon's Bride (I doubled the Coumarin pipe)
Cat-house nipples (I left out the forest fruit)
Durandt's Treachery
Gold Plums (I added 2% Classic for pipe)
These all have INW tobacco's in them so cant wait to see how they are.
Then to try something other than tobacco I mixed up Strawvana from MMM. Thanks @Mike.
And finally, for now anyway, @Andre English Blend. (Without the Oba Oba)
Now for the dreaded steep.........maybe I should just go away for a few weeks........

Ok I cant do the steep thing without tasting first.
I have just tasted all of the above that I mixed and they are all superb. A steep will refine them and smooth them out but I can see where they are going.
@Viper_SA thank you for your originality
@Andre thanks for all your great finds
@Mike thanks for the "leak"
Any tobacco lovers out there wanting something that works...... close your eyes and pick any recipe in this thread, they all work.

Good Morning Friends.
Just some feedback. My first tobacco Diy was The Godfather. The recipe is in the thread. In fact, I almost forgot about it, and last night I vaped it again after about 2 months. All I can say is, get yourself some peanutbutter concentrate and start mixing. It is one hell of a good vape.
