Is anyone else here growing your own tobacco to make your own snus? I got a very late start this year, so didn't get my baccy babies in the ground until yesterday. I didn't plant all of them, but only those big enough to go in the ground. Here's what I have so far planted:
Turkish:
3 Basma
4 Bursa
4 Izmir-Ozbas
Virginia:
6 Virginia Gold
1 BW low nic (I suspect this is a Virginia but am not sure)
I am particularly interested in Viriginia only snus, or Virginia/Turkish snus blends, in any proportion from 25% Turkish/75% Virginia up to 50/50 blends of each. Given that snus is traditionally flavored with essential oils after pastuerization, I have decided my first flavor will be peppermint. However, I am exceedingly curious to know if snus could likewise be flavored with food extracts, so will also attempt to make snus flavored with mango extract. This same company is where I purchased the creme de cafe extract to make e-liquid, which tastes like Kahlua. So I will probably do a bit of experimentation with that as well.
