I'm not a fan of overly sweet tobaccos but some very nice sweeter, flavored tobaccos have been home extracted lately. clnire has extracted several including Hearth and Home Signature Grandma's Kitchen which I'm really enjoying. I just finished an extraction of Missouri Meerschaum Great Dane, a deep, dark cherry tobacco flavor along with vanilla and caramel and it is rockin' my boat tonight. So Mann, there are some new, good desert tobaccos out there, you just have to ask.
Lately, I have been filtering extracts down to 2.5 microns and can attest that it does help clarify the extract and minimize particulates without compromising flavor. Coils will still gunk although it takes longer, primarily due to sugars cased on the tobacco. Sugar molecules are too small to filter without filtering out flavor molecules.
Glad to hear Clay is back in the saddle and wish him much success.
