Bought a Macanudo cigar.
Tore this up and put in a mason jar
Added some cheap flue cured, about a 1/4 of what the Macanudo was.
Covered with PG, and heated in microwave for about 12 sec a couple of times to get it warm and steaming
Let this sit and cool, and repeated this 4 times, got a nice amber color.
Let it sit for 24 hours.
Filtered 3 times through coffee filter, from 1 layer to 3 or 5 layers cause I kinda folded it a few times and stuffed in the hole of the filter with the end of a rounded spoon, the made a good seal and did not waste a lot of juice leaching into the rest of a larger filter paper, gravity filtered. But took about 3 hours or so I guess.
Yielded about 100ml
This is some great flavor.
Mixed this in at 12% with VG
1% - MTS Vape Wizard
2.5% - Bitter Wizard
at 3mg
Tried this for a bit and was getting sour notes on the back end
Added a few drops of Ethel Maltol and it's perfect.
As it has been steeping over the past week it has only gotten better.
I have some other juices I have to vape first. but will be making a batch of this to steep for a while.
Picked up some whole leaf Burley and American and Canadian Flue Cured tobacco
Also have a Dark Maduro that I started today and will let this sit till I get my
Buchner Funnel, Filter Flask and decent brake fluid pump (not the cheap plastic ones they sell in kits).
This was a fairly cheap setup depending on choices and where you get the items.
We will see how it works out. Christmas time.
Will filter down to 2.5 micron maybe lower, I guess.
Thanks to everyone for the info provided throughout various threads.
Good luck to those that take on this fun hobby.
The real task is finding the flavors of tobacco that work for you. I have no idea what that is yet.
Bummer it takes so long to find out.
