    Best tobacco for flavor extraction

    Hey Tele, I haven't tried either of these except I've smoked them both. And I love Diane's stuff but mostly do my own now. If it were me, I'd go with the Sun Grown. Funny, I mostly smoked maduros but find I like a lighter wrapper in my extractions, more nuances in the flavor in my opinion. 2...

    Natural Tobaccos - Part Deux

    Thanks aces. My humidors just store cigars waiting for extraction anymore and I've noticed the mold. I'm going to re-juice them with a mixture (I'm thinking distilled water?) this weekend in hopes of a long preservation and an appropriate salute to the new FDA pending regulations. Cheers man.

    Best tobacco for flavor extraction

    Hey 67, I do cigars almost exclusively these days and never have flavor problems. Some I don't like as well so I just move on. The RP 1990 is one of my favorites and I've done it several times with great results. I wait until "she who must be obeyed" goes out and then I grab her best kitchen...

    Natural Tobaccos - Part Deux

    I've found our crock pots to be pretty hot, even on "warm". I ended up switching to a hot plate to have better control. I might suggest getting a cooking thermometer to monitor the temps and I try to keep it around 125-130 F. I do the cycles over five days and then let them sit in a drawer...

    Best tobacco for flavor extraction

    I've kind of settled in on 130F for 5 days for cigars and three days for pipes. I'm using a hot plate now with a covered pot because it seems to provide a steadier temperature. I'm cycling as well. I turn it on early in the morning and unplug it at night. I haven't tried the PGA methods yet...

    Natural Tobaccos - Part Deux

    Hi Jonny, I haven't tried the PGA extractions yet so I cannot compare. I do find this method to produce stronger flavors than what I've purchased and I've tried many of them. I typically get a Toro or Churchill cigar and around 120 ml of a 65/35 PG/VG for the extraction. I'm guessing that...

    Natural Tobaccos - Part Deux

    Hey gents, I realize that I'm on the edge of being a lurker here, but I am checking in and reading frequently. I haven't tried Str8's PGA extractions yet and I plan to at some point. He's been a great contributor and I've learned a bunch. I'm chiming in here because I'm a little confused by...

    Best tobacco for flavor extraction

    I use my wife's best kitchen knife and cutting board. When she's not home. For at least a couple hours so I can clean them and put them away. Just sayin. If you like the RP 1990 and want something with a little more spice, get the RP 2008 Autumn Reserve. Thompson sells them in five packs...

    SXmini M Class (TEMP CONTROL)

    Just got my cap from Elevated Vape. It's light weight polished aluminum. It screws in with your fingers easily and actually is smoother in the threads than the original. Fits flush with the bottom of the mod. It seemed a little pricey when I ordered it but its a well done replacement and...

    Best tobacco for flavor extraction

    I think I chimed in here about a couple of others to try as well. The Vintage 90 is probably my favorite but it's not really spicy. The Rocky Patel Autumn Reserve 2008 and the Perdomo Lot 23 (not maduro) fill out my current top three. None of these are really expensive cigars and it's funny...

    Best tobacco for flavor extraction

    I'll bet that you are correct and it's funny how it may not be as much the math as listening to our satisfaction factor (what ever that is). I know for a fact that I vape more when I drink more and I try to keep both in some sort of moderation. I remain convinced that this is a better...

    Best tobacco for flavor extraction

    Funny how our tastes change a bit over time and experience. I've gone from 18-20mg down to 12 recently. Just a gradual reduction and I may go down some more. I don't know if it's better attys (erlkonigin for me)? I see that many subohmer's reduce way down. I have a SX mini and use nickel and...

    Best tobacco for flavor extraction

    After Billherbst helped to get me going (and I got some of his RP 1990), I've done that cigar twice with very good results and it remains one of my favorite "go to's". I also highly recommend a RP 2008 Autumn Reserve in the lighter wrapper. Those two stand out among the 15 different ones that...

    I'd easily place Tony as a 1%er. Just not saying.

    Natural Tobaccos - Part Deux

    So thanks for the shout out, but I'm just somewhere down the middle of the terrific folks on this thread. I miss seeing Bill Herbst here who really helped me out and got me going and there are many others, too. I haven't burnt a hole in a golf shirt in months and the garage smells so much...

    Boxer Mod Dual 18650 Yihi 350J

    Hey Mad (and other diy'rs) you can use your soldering iron to shrink the tubing. Just lightly pass the base of the hot iron back and forth over the heat shrink from the middle of the shrink towards the edges and it will constrict nicely. Don't keep the iron stationary and after a few passes it...

    SXmini M Class (TEMP CONTROL)

    Hey Tony, may I get the rights to your reality show when you come stateside? I think you misspelled "wacko"? You crack me up. :)
