Looking For Good Cigar Recipe

[DJ_Escapade]

Hi All,

I am looking for a nice cigar recipe, but can't seem to find one.
I have all of the flavour art tobacco flavorings, plus a couple other from a few vendors.
Is anyone able to point me in the right direction?

FA's Cuban Supreme is about as accurate a cigar flavor as I've tasted. If that's not working for you, maybe try their new Tuscan Reserve.

Thanks upstomp - I have them both, but feel they're more geared towards using as top notes and not base flavors. I'm wondering what a good tobacco base would be . . . I think I'm leaning towards the camel blend (it's robust and spicy). For some reason I find the tuscan reserve a little on the fruity side. I was hoping it to be more robust and smoky, as suggested by flavor art. Hmm . . .

I have seen others on here say that FA Virginia makes a good base for cigar flavors. I use it in almost all my tobacco mixes.

thanks for the input - i can give it a shot
lol i had a small cohiba that took a hit against a door frame on the way out to the garage a few days ago
i'm doing a tobacco flavor extract on it with vg - should help get to a flavor i'm looking for in a vape

Hey Mary D,

I've seen your posts about Guaiacol.
How would you describe its flavor to be?

It has a smokey type flavor it's hard to explain but it helps give it that nasty cig flavor to me. I don't do tobacco anymore so I haven't even used it in forever.

You will be pleasantly surprised. I did that with an old MonteCristo and it tasted just like the real thing right down to it making my stomach nauseas like inhaling a cigar.

I ground it up in the coffee grinder and let it sit in some low heated VG for several hours then strained it with some #325 SS mesh.

Yep - I do a similar thing for "TE". Crush it, let it sit in VG in a little mini pie plate tin. I keep the pie tin warm by putting it above one of those essential oil burners and let a candle burn underneath off and on over a weekend. I find the trick is to put water in the essential oil pot (almost a double boiler situation). This way, there is no direct heat applied to the VG tincture. I tried it, and it worked out pretty awesome. I think I should post my recipe to share.
