Best tobacco for flavor extraction

[Str8vision]

I haven't bought/tried any new tobaccos in a very long time, perhaps later this year. There are several on my radar. Be sure and post your impression on that one.

I just came across this blend being advertised. It looks somewhat bold, which I like, so I figure some friends like this kind of tobacco also and may want a look see....

Got a tin on the way for cellaring purposes ... a good ole Va/Per for the future.

Do you actually use a cellar?

Do you actually use a cellar?

Not so much ... cellaring is just the term I use for the cool dark closet where I keep my tobacco stash in a big ole cardboard box.

I was thinking a dank cellar may not be the best place for liquids.

Not that it matters much if in a sealed container of course.

C&D tobaccos are high on my list of worthy choices for extraction. I took advantage of the 15% off their cellar series a week ago; Oak Alley read like my kinda blend.

Also picked up a few others for the cellar:

C&D: Night Train
Solani: Virginia Flake
D&R: Picayune

G.L. Pease ~ Haddo’s Delight

Here’s the sales listing write up:
Black Cavendish
Burley
Perique
Virginia
(Aromatic)

Haddo's Delight is a stout blend of several Virginia tobaccos with a generous measure of long-cut Perique. Unflavored Green River black Cavendish and a little air-cured white Burley ribbon provide fullness, body, and a bit of extra strength. Finally, an exclusive process darkens and marries the mixture, and gives the blend a subtle tin aroma of cocoa and dried fruit. The flavor is full on the palate, earthy, slightly sweet and intriguingly piquant, with overtones of figs and raisins. A wonderful blend for the Perique lover!

My take... the above description pretty much says it all. This is a Perique lovers extraction! And IMO, if you like Va/Per blends in the least, you’re going to love this tobacco.

Back in the day, when I was mixing synth concentrates, I found my favorite mixes leaning towards a slightly sweet and hearty tobacco, with a rum and/or fig note. Since there was no concentrate on the market which provided a palitable raisin note, I was always out of luck in that department. Haddo’s Delight ticks all the boxes. As of late, a tobacco blend which carried any flavor other than straight up tobacco, was not held in high regards. This G.L. Pease blend breaks my cycle of Plain Jane tobacco blends. Delish!

As per usual... my maceration technique was a straight PG solvent, heat bumped at 125*F for 8hrs, cool steeped for around 4 months, and filtered down to 2.5 microns.

I don’t see this tobacco disappearing any time soon, but it might be worth throwing a tin on your next order for your cellared stock.

I think I have all those ingredients on their lonesome already extracted. Gotta put my mixing hat on and see what happens.

Thanks for the review.

Thanks for the link and heads-up @nostradadus I hadn't shopped Cup O' Joes before. Looks like another good source for tobaccos!

Filtering today after 3 months in PG. Funny how I used to fret over every drop, now I just get what I can and move on to the next.
The usual flavors (Decatur Black Cherry, Stokkebye's 84 Turkish, Scotty's Honey & Chocolate, H&H LA Red and VA Spice.) Substituting Sutliffs' Stoved Black VA for McClellan's. Hopefully it's comparable.
And some new ones for the sweet tooth. Lane BCA, MacBaron Golden Extra, and Sutliff's Christmas Spice, Golden Cavendish and Creamy Butterscotch.
An all day exercise to provide month's of flavor. Not a bad idea ...
