DIY Tobacco Recipes

Next up, Long John Silver

Again, FA Kingston Kick added. What would a pirate themed vape be without rum!? A little sweetness from the rum, but nicely balanced with the clove added by FA in this pre-blend flavor. For those who followed the series "Black Sails", this will make sense, I hope. The character always struck me a romantic. Landing up where he never intended, and making the best of it. For that reason I added INW Smoked Plum, and INW Gold Ducat. I thought this brought out the romantic side quite well. Considering the Caribbean is so close to Cuba, I added some INW Cuba Cigar to add complexity to the juice. Also quite happy with this one. Even @Andre might like it.

A sweetish (Gold Ducat) type tobacco with notes of rum and smoked plum, balanced by a nice dry compliment of Cuban Cigar.

Final pirate themed recipe for now, Blackbeard!

Even though I added 1% more FA Kingston Kick in this recipe, the rum is much more in the background. It is overall a heavy, dark tobacco and on the dry side. The FA Perique and FW Latakia come through nicely. @GregF suggested I swap out the FA Latakia for the FW Latakia. I ended up keeping both in, but thanks for the idea bud. It reminds me a little of the smell of black powder fired in the flintlock pistols. In the series Black Sails, the character loved his pistols. I like to imagine that this dry, smoky and slightly bitter tobacco is somewhat reminiscent of the smell of black powder on captain's hands.

@Andre, I know you like Durandt's Treachery, give this one a try as well.
 
Thanks @Viper_SA, looking good.
If anybody is missing FA Kingston Kick you can make it with
70% FA Jamaican Rum, 15% FA Clove, 15% FA MTS Vape Wizard

As approved by Mr. @GregF (he had a sneak peak at the pre-release recipe :D), I bring you Captain Jack Sparrow.
Just eccentric and playful enough to fit the famous movie character portrayed by Johnny Depp.

A nice full-bodied, mellow flavor coming from the INW Am4a, just a hint of sweetness from the FA Kingston Kick (Jamaican Rum and Clove). The INW Dark choc tobacco is not sweet at all, and adds a nice dark, bitterish note, while the INW Tobacco Symphony adds more depth and character. All in all very happy with this one. Think it resembles Jack Sparrow quite well, considering the man was just a few sandwiches short of a picnic.

Waiting for the the new year to get my stock of FA Latakia. Cant wait to try this.
Thanks
 
@GregF, @Viper_SA, you guys knock me out every time, your recipes rock and the reviews are spot on, but geeez every time I only short one or two concentrates, and the sad part is if I hit the store I order to make the shipping worth while. Bottom line ; not only do the vendors like me so does plastic warehouse.
 
@Andre
Missed a few of mine in the index. If you get time to update. Currently have some things steeping for the 3 Musketeers......

Yeah, I noticed your deleted posts are now back. The others that I have not indexed are those without any descriptions (either in the form of descriptive names or by way of a short description other than a cowboy story - in the recipe post please). Shall do the former as soon as time allows.
Please do not delete your posts en masse again, it really makes life difficult for me - I had to manually redo all the links in the Index, for example.

Will do @Andre
You missed Long John Silver at the end though

No, I have not. I just could not find anything in there that describes this tobacco. You only mention some of the additives and what they do. Maybe it will make more sense when I come upon the first version again, but the idea is to have each recipe make sense as a standalone.

No previous version on this one. Apologies, I thought the description was adequate. It's a sweetish, plummy tobacoo I guess, with rum undertones

No problems at all @Viper_SA. Your description above is perfect, thank you. Kindly add it to the Long John Silver post itself as well. Shall attend to the Index asap.
 
I personally think these 3 Musketeer tobaccos are some of my best DIY work to date. First up, I bring you Athos. As interpreted in the movie, "The man in the iron mask". A simple, uncomplicated man of principle. Same with my take on his tobacco. Reminds me very much of a plain cigarette. No filter added, lol. Very smoky and dry/bitter due to the percentages used on FA Black Fire and INW DNB. The INW Tobacco Symphony adds a nice Roll-your-own character to it and balances the dry/bitter taste with a very feint sweetness. Like a cross between a Camel Plain and Marlboro Plain I would imagine.

Next up, Aramis.

A complicated tobacco for a complicated character with a flair for the dramatic and theatrical. INW Tobacco Pear coupled with INW Dark Choc Tobacco are the main notes. The Dark Choc does not really come to the fore in the taste, but does smooth and round out the pear, which can be a bit too fruity on it's own. (As some interpret my Grandpa's Pear tobacco). FA Latakia adds some dark, dry body and character, while INW Maxx Blend just deepens the tobacco to give it some mysterious notes. A perfect pear-ish tobacco to go with after dinner drinks.

Thanks @Viper_SA. Now I need to get the Avo out again and give the Reo's a break.
Need to suck up some juice to make space for some new stuff:D

As we all know, the whole 3 Musketeer drama basically revolves, and came to be, around D'Artagnan. The main character. As portrayed in other movies, a simple man from a small village, following in his father's footsteps to be a Musketeer and protect his king. In the movie, Man in the Iron Mask, he plays a conflicted role, both loving his king, and being disappointed in the king.

My take on a tobacco for him is much the same. A constant battle for balance between INW Am4a and FW Latakia. This battle takes place on a base of INW DNB and FA Black Fire. The DNB and Black Fire is one of the best bases I have discovered to date, and I believe one can build any decent tobacco off of it. It reminds me very much of opening my dad's pipe pouch and smelling it as a kid. A dark, dry tobacco with lots of smoky character. A bit bitter notes from the FW Latakia and some sweetish/nutty notes that I pick up from the INW Am4a

Porthos....... Here we go @GregF

A boisterous, fun loving and carefree character. This time I skipped the FA Black Fire, and added a touch of INW Dark Fire to INW DNB. I get a little bit of a brandy/cognac note from the Dark Fire, which suited my idea perfectly. INW Flue Cured added for a simply "Hangsen type" tobacco note and rounded out by INW Arabic for the adventurous part of the character. INW Arabic is very close to FW Ankara to me, just with less of a herbal note. Fans of Durandt's Treachery should like this one.

A dark, smokey tobacco, with a little "wetness" and brandy notes with some outlandish "Camel-like" notes, nicely balanced by a good ould fashioned flue cured Virginia.

No I haven't. I mixed all my tobaccos in single form. I snif test to find a combo i like, then let's say i want 2:1 ratio, i drip two drops of one and two of the other on the back of my hand an taste it that way before mixing anything new. It is not a flavor, but makes a nice base. Sure you can mix without it though.
 
OK Guys and Dolls, my first bulls eye creation which came out exactly what I had in mind when starting off. Whats more this one comes with a rocking soundtrack! http://www.ecigssa.co.za/song-of-the-day.t214/page-54#post-473377. Compliments @Viper_SA

Here goes: Copperhead Road - Smooth Bourbon Tobacco
upload_2017-1-2_11-39-41.png
As a Shake & Vape let it breathe out the alcohol in the Bourbon for an hour or so before vaping. I just put the mixing flask in front of the PC fan outlet for a while shaking every now and then.
Will still work on it a bit but I was shocked when it hit the spot as it did.

Comments and critics welcome, please just let me know what you think!

Regards
