Anybody extracted Bright Virginia, Sweet Virginia, Burley, and Oriental?

[Heabob]

I haven't read about anybody using these tobacco types.

It seems like mostly Cigar and Pipe tobaccos are used, just curious why?

Read on Wiki that most American Cigs use Virginia, Burley, & Oriental, or a mix thereof.

So thinking if I wanted to start extracting I'm looking for Cig tobaccos, but maybe I'm all wet.

If someone has done these and they're crappy I could save some wasted time and money...

Any thoughts?

TIA

I did Organic American Spirit from a pouch. Came out very good to me. I'm not an expert by any means but I'm not a former pipe or cigar smoker.

My posts are in the cold maceration thread.

I've done quite a few extractions from pipe tobacco, American Spirit, one cigar and a few herbal teas. Most came out nice. The one I used the most is black and gold cavendish. The Virginia and Burley are good as well. I haven't done any extractions since last year, I made a lot. It was fun to experiment and not expensive.

Thanks for reply,

Are you still using them in your tobacco juice?

Are Virginia and Burly considered pipe or do they just list them under pipe for tax/legal reasons?

Considering Brightleaf Virginia Flue Cured Tobacco Leaf - Sweet Tobacco Leaves For RYO, MYO, Pipe Tobacco, Hookah Tobacco, and more.

And: Brightleaf Virginia Flue Cured Tobacco Leaf - Smooth Tobacco Leaves For RYO, MYO, Pipe Tobacco, Hookah Tobacco, and more.

Or is it better to get the stuff cut up in a pouch already?

Somewhere in one of the threads someone mentioned buying from leaf only and using it. I'll take a look and see if I can find it.

If you click on samples they have a bunch of stuff around $5. They have organic American and Canadian Viginia for $5.99 a sample. IIRC shipping wasn't bad either

Tobacco Leaf Samples - Fronto Leaf Samples, Wrapper Leaves, MYO Cigarette Leaves, Try Before You Buy!

I purchased the tobacco from pipesandcigars.com. You get a lot of tobacco for a reasonable price. I have plenty left over and still use my extractions when I'm in the mood for tobacco, lately it's been fruits, dessert and mint.

I also get from pipesandcigars. I got 3 one ounce bags for around $12 with shipping.

BTW cigarettes and cig tobacco have to be purchased face to face in most places. Anything mail order will be called pipe tobacco no matter what it is.

Thanks, yes I've read the entire thread too, as that's where I got the links.

I didn't see anything about Bright Virginia or Sweet Virginia tho, have to read it all again.

IDK if all the Virginia's are pretty much the same or not, lol.

Ah, thanks for the clarification.

To me it doesn't get any simpler than room temp soaking. I just can't wait four weeks. Three is bad enough. Then I mix and have to wait another week to steep. I sample some right away but it does change over time.

 

[Heabob]

Never realized there were so many different types of tobacco's.

Gonna look at pipesandcigars for smaller quantities too.

Waiting a month for cold steeping doesn't bother me, I got a bunch of different tobacco juice steeping yet, on week #2.

I vape my fruits and others whilst I wait.
