@NolaMel - PM me if you would like to discuss a few free samples of NET extracts.
That’s so generous of you! I’d hate for you to waste any if it turns out I don’t like NETs either. I know it takes a lot of time and work to make them. I’m really on the fence since I know I haven’t tried a regular tobacco flavor that I found even a little palatable.

    You should discuss it with Brett anyway. He has dessert NETs also

    Lousianna Red and 84 Turkish. These are not the sweet stuff and you can ask Brett for the reviews cause I’m lousy at it and I haven’t mixed these in a minute

    LA Red is Virginia and Perique tobacco blend. 84 Turkish is Virginia, Burley and Samsoun tobacco blended together.

    I make five to ten times more than I use, and I give away most. There seems like a small amount that gets poured into the woods out back every spring one year after it was extracted and filtered out.
    Wether you like it or not is not my concern ....

    I agree with Fran. NETs take on a very wide array of flavors. There are tobacco heavy flavors and tobacco weak flavors within the NET family. We referred to them as TOBACCO and tobacco NETS. Tobacco extractions can be viewed just like any other flavor concentrate to be used alone or as simply one flavor component in a recipe. They add not only flavor but texture. They tend to be dry so they're good for tempering sweet flavors.

    I like Perique. I have Virginia Spice and Stoved Virginia that I have to get mixed also.

    You know, I've never actually mixed with any NET's. I did a lot of tobacco blends with the tobacco flavors before I got sick of them. Never mixed a blend with a NET for some reason. Probably because I enjoy them as is.

    My favorite NET's were Cavendish, Perique, and Burley. I liked them solo or any of those 3 blended... Boy do I miss River Bottom Fog Sauce NETs. Cavendish blends, flavored or straight, were generally my favorite.
    I do like all 3 of those.:)

    Cavendish is a process, not a type of tobacco, where the ste,ms and veins are removed. Usually commercial companies start with a form of Virginia leaf to make a Cavendish tobacco.
    At work, but off the top of head, I think I have a few Virginia / Perique (VaPer blend) extracts at home....

    Many juices called NETs have flavor added to them. RY4 might be the most popular of them all (but there are many). RY4, for example, is a tobacco, vanilla, caramel blend. I'd go so far as to say the majority of NETs on the market have flavor-added components. The flavor can be added at different stages. Of course, you can take a basic tobacco extraction and add your favorite flavors from BCF (this is what I am doing). But you can also make extraction from cased tobacco. Cased meaning tobacco that has been infused with flavor components. The tobacco could also be sprayed with flavor. Or it could be cured in ways that add flavor (such as sun, flue, or fire cured). All this prior to extraction. The flavors transfer to the extract. These flavored tobaccos are common among pipe tobacco (and some cigar) as well. A tobacco extraction does not have to be relegated to it's own natural taste. It can be flavor-shaped any which way you like and can be used just like any bottle of flavor concentrate you buy from BCF.

    uhhh pick your poison-- Black Flag, Raid, or Creamy Cubans.

    Creamy Cuban recipe
    FA Cuban Supreme 2%
    FA Catalan Cream 3%
    FA Hazel Grove .5%
    FA Torrone 1%

    lol, I'm with Fran, I'll stick with the creamy!

    Btw, how long did you steep this? Not discounting your interpretation at all but It's actually a fairly popular recipe that's been around for a few years. However, it definitely needs a few weeks ( 3 min in IMHO ) of steeping. Prior to that, some have mentioned it having a bell pepperish accent ... hmm, stuffed pepper vape anyone? :D

    I know nothing about the process, I just enjoy the end result. @PapawBrett are the only NETs I vape. I haven't been able to vape any vendor stuff in ages.

    Buuutttt think of the possibilities! :lol:

    I have to admit, I do enjoy some odd mixes from time to time. There are those that think I am a bit odd for enjoying Dill Pickle Ice Cream, lol.

    Is that a real Dill pickle ice cream or a vape mix?
