Best tobacco for flavor extraction

[nostradadus]

Reporting on Newminster 403 Superior Round Slices (1oz bulk purchase)

Vendor notes:
Dark Fired Kentucky
Virginia
(Non-Aromatic)

Newminster No. 403 Superior Round Slices starts with a core of dark-fired Kentucky, around which premium flue-cured leaves are wrapped and spun into a rope & sliced. The flavor is typically sweet Virginia with an undertone that's spicy and slightly smoky - slightly on the full side of medium bodied.

My NET version was a PG, heat assist maceration (8 hours @ 125 degrees), which cool steeped for roughly 9 months. No real reason for the long steep; the jar just got overlooked in the back of the cupboard for a while. This extract was mixed at 15%; the result was very satisfying. I’m putting this one in the ADV category. The Virginia adds just a slight sweetness to the vape, while the pleasing smokey boldness of the DF Kentucky really stands out; yet not oppressively so. This has been a nice departure from my usual smokey Latakia blended NETs.

Just for some light reading:

Enjoy

Happy to mention a pipe tobacco NET I'm enjoying and quite pleased with the results:

Heat assisted in 190 PGA, steeped 5 months before filtering.
Presently mixing as a stand alone at 7% in 70vg/30pg.
(note - this tobacco had been aged 15 years)

Overall so far: Excellent!

Hello everyone. Things seem to have really slowed here lately. Is there another, more interesting place, that everyone has gone to? Another thread?

No kidding. Especially since Pipes and Cigars won't ship to Washington State.

If I remember correctly Washington state has some complicated tobacco laws/taxes?, If so I imagine many online vendors simply choose to exclude doing business there. There aren't any shipping restrictions to my state but I still haven't purchased anything from P&C in many years. Since changing owners a few years ago it seems they're almost always "out of stock" on items I'm interested in. Smoking Pipes gets most of my business these days but I don't know if they ship to Washington state.

I've noticed the activity on ECF has slowed greatly in the past few years, this place was hopping back in the 2013-2014 timeframe. I've not posted much since stockpiling various extracts, I'm all but finished with everything and all that's left is to enjoy the fruits of my labor.

I'm squonking some of the Balkan Sasieni now. By itself it's a little thick and heavy tasting. I've added a touch of Mac Oriental which brightens it up and mediates the heavy Latakia. Give it a shot. I think you'll like it.

No posts there since Dec ‘16, but here it is:
NET (Natural/Extracted Tobacco) PIF and Swap Thread

What were the tobaccos used and what was the process on your first NETs?

this tobacco looks as if it may have good extraction possibilities......

I'm having my first exposure to Old Joe Krantz. Just reaching the three month sit around I tasted it last night. I know there are several here who like it. As the new wick was getting broken in the burleys were out front. Then the perique made an appearance on top of the burleys. About halfway through the 6ml bottle all the flavors coalesced and it became full and very good. Initially it was a little off-putting but ended up very satisfying.

I've been experimenting, a bottle at a time, with a little virginia, a smidge of perique, a lot of latakia and a topper of oriental or Turkish ribbon. Very nice combination. These are all bottled separately and then added to my squonk bottle.

new wicks, cotton or whatever, always give me a different taste, good or bad, until lightly broken in and are good until time to change out.

It does look like a good candidate, very similar to Drucquer & Sons "Blairgowrie"

I wish smokingPipes.com was not out of: Drucquer & Sons: Levant Mixture
Sounds like another good extraction candidate......

have just sampled a 3 month maceration of Scandinavian Tobacco Group (STG) - Drexel VI (Drexel) - Tobacco Reviews

best i have tried yet

funny, since from reports, it doesn't smoke the best. But the aromatics translate well to eliquid

"have just sampled a 3 month maceration of Scandinavian Tobacco Group (STG) - Drexel VI (Drexel) - Tobacco Reviews ".....

Looks like an interesting blend, fits my flavor profile.
