EVERYBODY says that same thing about Caramel Apple tobacco. I don't know why it needs such a long steep, but it does.
I don't know either, but after a while the apple seems to lay back and allows the tobacco to step up....it is crazy but there are moments that I can barely taste the apple now, and I NEVER would have thought that when I first tried it. It is a fine example of what steeping can do in certain juices
