Here is a rum and maple recipy of one of the tobacco masters, @GregF , a rum and maple, a bit more ingredients than the basic one, also one that I want to try. Just click on the link to take you there.
Ok cool. I will message him tomorrow.You can maybe try using rum and maple pipe tobacco as your concentrate (referred to as a net concentrate).... if thats the case i advise sending @method1 message and asking for advice on the best method because his one shot mixture is getting rave reviews and it's based off net tobacco... plus he is a champ who I'm sure won't mind helping
It seems that way.
. Will put the ingredients on my shopping list. Eventually, finally and at last I got some FA Lime Tahiti Distilled.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 %
FA Soho @ 12%I have tried many RY4 types of juices (commercial and DIY) over the years and enjoyed many, but ultimately they all were too sweet for my taste with no real tobacco notes. No doubt, I am part of a small minority. RY4 types are arguably the most popular tobacco juices out there.
My latest try in this category was Solus, recommended by @Petrus and also a @Huffapuff favourite. The most exquisite taste, but still very sweet and heavy for my taste. Chasing that exquisite taste I decreased all the non-tobacco ingredients by 75 % and added FA Bitter Wizard and some Absolute Tobaccos from INW. This exercise had me realize that there might be more to FA Soho than I thought. As I was pondering HIC's wisdom of using FA Soho at 4/5% for standalone against FA's recommendation of 20%, @SthrnMixer entered the mix, recommending 12%. After the fact, I noticed quite a few people on ELR actually recommends using it between 10 and 12%.
Thus, mixed it up at 12% on 8 January 2018 and cracked open the bottle yesterday (15 January 2018) morning. Wow, the best RY4 type I have ever tasted. It is the exquisite element of Solus - imho and with respect to the creator all the other ingredients in Solus do not add much and are not really needed. HIC describes Soho as "a semi-sweet, very smooth, rich Burley-Virginia type tobacco blend with prominent supporting notes of burnt sugar, some deep caramel-vanilla, and a rich backdrop of toasted nuts.". Spot on, but I (and others) do not get much of the nutty taste.
What I like most about Soho is that it has a lightness about it - almost as if a bit of background fruit (not lemon!) was secretly added. As opposed to the heavy sweet of most RY4 types. This means one can vape it for more extended periods of time.
Make no mistake - for my personal, quirky taste this is still too sweet and needs more real tobacco. I will be tweaking it. But, for the vast majority out there, this might just be simple perfection. "Everything you love about RY4 only better" per @SthrnMixer. Very refined imo, @rogue zombie. No need to smother it with other stuff.
Tagging @vicTor and @Adephi, as requested.
I got my delivery yesterday afternoon, I think it needs to be mixed at 12%, but you say 10 is good? Just starting out with the tobacco ones so don't like overpowering taste yet, how does this rate in that category
Not overpowering in the tobacco department at 12% at all.
Just tried the soho mix in my insider tank... must say it's good! Tempted to add something to my next batch... not sure what though

I have tried a few Cherry Tobaccos. This is the first one I really like.
I taste a very light and mild tobacco with succulent and sunripe-sweet natural red cherry with the faintest of hint of floral. The black cherry (which I am not a big fan of) is still discernible as a backbone - I shall take it down to 0.5 % in the next iteration.
I steeped this for one month, but am sure it should be good to go after about 2 weeks.
