This is one of my new favourites.Lime Party by @Mike of Mike's Mega Mixes has permanent residence in my GEM tank. Love me some Lime, but when I saw this Cuban Heel tobacco recipe with lime, I was somewhat skeptical. A quick Google, however, revealed that this secret has been known for a long time by the Mayan and other cultures and resonated with the Snus and Hookah lovers.
For me FA Virginia is difficult to work with, but it combines perfectly with the FA Cuban Supreme to give a lightly toasted tobacco cigar taste. The tobaccos sweeten the lime, but still unmistakably lime. It really is reminiscent of Lime Party, but a soft Tobacco Lime Party.
From experience with other recipes I know that only FA Lime Tahiti Distilled will work here. No other Lime will give the same awesome effect.
My mix cured for more than a month and I do think this one requires a proper steep.
The percentages in brackets are if you want to do a pre-blend of concentrates.
Cuban Heel
FA Virginia 1.5 % (43 %)
FA Cuban Supreme 1.0 % (28.5 %)
FA Lime Tahiti Distilled 1.0 % (28.5 %)
Total flavour: 3.5 %
Lime - perfect pairing to a mild yellow/brown tobacco.
Light, refreshing... a good summer/spring tobacco.
