I just mixed up a batch of TFA's black honey tobacco at 7% and what a nice flavor on its own. So I was Just wondering if anyone has any interesting receipes to use that in.

Great to hear, just ordered some myself, so thanks for posting a new thread on this!
Can you describe it a little, thanks! I picked up some TFA Green Apple to try mixing with it as a backnote.

It has a nice rich but mild pipe tobacco taste with a hint of a smokey honey top note
The taste faded slightly over night after about a 4 hour UC steep so I think going 8 -9% is not out of the question.
Thanks for the tip! I'll probably start a mix at 8% then and see what I think.
No USC here so we'll have to steep the old fashioned way
Did you test it at all before you put steeped it like that? Just curious if it's any good without a good steeping on it.

I never bother tasting tobacco before steeping. Pretty much all tobaccos need steeping. You can always give it a hot water steep which will help but you diffinitly need to steep this one.
Thanks! I always do hot water bath, sometimes twice in a row. I'll do that one this one, and then try to give it at least a week before testing it out
Put a little bit of Rum in there.
That sounds good I just so happen to have some TFA jamaican rum on had which I havent tried yet. Was also thinking maybe some TFA kentucky burbon that I also have on hand and havent tried yet.
I don't know about TFA Jamaican Rum, but the rest of them have been really strong go easy.
Before I got my UC what I did was use a thurmos cup with a cap. I would fill it with tap water as hot as I can make it and let it cool to room temperature remove the mix shake the heck out of it and repeat that process 2 more times. I found that worked the best. Not as good as a UC steep but not to bad either.

Thanks, I do that in a coffee cup, but never thought about a thermos type cup to hold the heat longer, will find one now though until I can afford a USC!!
Don't know don't have that one. Try 1% and if more is needed add to it that will be easier than trying to reduce.
Yep thats what I figured. If in doubt fall back to the basic rule of DYI start low, test then add more.
I love black honey tobacco, but FYI, TFA has remove 'tobacco' from the name, because it is not a tobacco flavor, it is a tobacco flavoring. Black Honey is basically a double strength version of Seedman's Captain Black, a flavor intended to be sprayed onto tobacco leaves.
It shouldn't require steeping. the flavor may mellow a bit, but does not change much.

Actually it says Black Honey tobacco right on the label. I ordered there tobacco sampler pack directly from TPA and black honey tobacco was one of the samples.

Black Honey Flavor
This is our original Black Honey Tobacco Flavor, but we have simplified the name.
Black Honey captures the sweet, complex flavor of the finest pipe tobacco blends. Fans of Captain Black need look no further.
If you were refering to me thinking it was an actual tobacco extract, I am aware its a flavoring and not an extract.

Levitas gave me this recipe while back and I love it.
4% BHT
10% French Vanilla

BHT plays very well with vanillas and caramels. I also have found it to be a rather volatile flavor that fades fairly quickly. I do not steep it, other than that from not vaping all of it at once. I make it at 10% and usually add it to other flavors. A couple drops in a vanilla carto is quite nice.
