I was wondering where you get your tobacco from? We don't have much selection where I live, and I was looking for a good source to start doing extracts.
Pipes&Cigars and Milan Tobacconists are both good online sources. Google 'em.
First try was some left over of a pipe blend i got from a tobaccoist at a reenactment.
My current extraction is a couple of Black and Mild Jaz cigars ( request by a friend)
My next round will be pipe blends i bought on line
Old Toby, Ruins of Isengard, and Treebeard (my nerd is hanging out a wee bit here lol) Bought these all at www.justforhim.com
$3.25 an ounce. Shipping was a bit high, around $7 or so, but it was shipped USPS 2-Day Priority. Ships from Kansas City, MO.
They smell amazing in the bags, cant wait to get them going.

Thanks!! I have been lookin, but I was hoping for a place that others use and recommend. Again, thanks!!
Those prices for one-ounce bulk pipe blends and shipping seem right in the ballpark for all the online vendors I've researched---$2.50-4.00 for one ounce of tobacco, and $7-9 shipping for the whole order. I've purchased two high-quality cigar samplers (a 90-or-higher-rated 9-pack and a 10-pack of different Rocky Patels) for very reasonable prices from Thompson Cigars---less than $4 per cigar---with free shipping.
I didnt think the price was too awful once i saw it was two day shipping. Ordered on a Thursday night, got it monday afternoon.
I got those specific ones because of the names, im a tolkien fan, but they have a bigger selection than that.
Packaging was nothing special, ziploc style plastic bags with their logo on it. The bags were heavier duty than normal ziploc though, so it looks like it would keep everything moist and safe.

seems to be a standard bag for storage.... holds up to about 2.5 oz. I get most of my pipe blends from a local vendor ( Tinder Box). I prefer to be able to smell and see what Im going to try to extract. I dont have a strong history with pipes and cigar smoking, so my choices are made via "live contact" instead of reading descriptions from a web site. And after reading several dozen descriptions from several different sites, everything starts sounding the same....
Being a regular pipe smoker I LOVE the LOTR line from Just for him! I have a couple pounds of "Ruins" and "Shortcut to Mushrooms". Shortcut being my go to pipe tobacco!
Maybe I need to start extracting pipe tobacco!
or selling it
looks like you got enuf to open a small store
I often do 5gm of tobacco in an extract (1/6 oz) just to see how it turns out, in a 30ml (1 oz) jar. From that I get about 10ml extract, enough to flavor maybe 70ml of juice, which is plenty for me. So you can preserve that collection and do small extracts ckquatt
That sir, is an impressive stock of pipe tobacco. Glad to hear im not the only one who has a bit of Tolkien nerd in them. Saw the names and just couldnt resist. The missus just rolled her eyes at me lol.
I never have been a cigar guy, but i do love a good pipe. When i started vapeing smoking a pipe was the only tobacco i still used..so i bought a decently priced pipemod and began sifting through juice vendors for a juice that seemed right to vape from a pipe. Thats how i came across this thread.

This is pretty exciting! After a warm water bath for 24 hrs (1 hr of that was at a higher heat than I intended), I filtered one of my 3 extracts. 1 pass with the French Press and a 5 micron filter, one pass of that through a coffee filter. Mixed up a 1 ml sample, 0 nic, 50/50 pg/vg, 15% extract and in a little dripper. OMG!!!! Fresh, no nic, the flavor is there! I immediately increased it to a 6 ml 6 mg nic sample and will let it steep. But I think this is awesome!!
I need to work on my ratio of tobacco to base (pg/vg); this first try base was 100% pg and although I covered the tobacco I could have used a lot more pg (or whatever base I decide to extract with) and a much smaller amount of tobacco. I added a little more pg to my 2 other extracts and they are back in a warm water bath for more time (and more extract!!!!).
The one I filtered is Lane BCA, a fire-cured and steamed black cavendish. The others are Lane RLP (burley, virginia, cavendish mix) and H&H Grandma's Kitchen (burley, cavendish, virginia but with a bit of vanilla-based steamed black cavendish).
OK, so I am going to be hooked on this....
Can't wait to try more flavors!

Man...all these posts about pulling your extracts and mixing makes me want to go pull mine. Two more days and all three of mine will be at the two week mark. I think two weeks for the coffee and tea extract is plenty. I had planned to let the tobacco one go a month but i may pull it this weekend too.
I want to start on those pipe blends too but i am waiting for my scales to show up so i can get a better accuracy on ammount of tobacco used to ammount of PG used.

Half an ounce of pipe tobacco can produce 150ml of natural tobacco extract from a PG/VG simple soak maceration, which, at a 20% mix percentage, will make 750ml of NET eliquid.
How much tobacco do you have in that cabinet, 25 lbs? That's enough tobacco right there in your house to produce sufficient natural tobacco extract to make 20,000 30ml bottles of NET eliquid.
LOL! I dont know if I could do that. I still smoke my pipes but I might try 1 batch to see how it goes.
I am extraction a couple pipe Cavendish's with the slow cooker tenique (115F) into PG. Do you think 36 hours is long enough ? My last extraction was 4 days and it seems to have lost a little of the aromatics. In the cooker now is a Holger Danske Mang/Vanilla and a Peter St 45 Black Currant Cav. I like tart/fruit added tobacco. My fav right now is H&H Blueberry.
Which would be the best way to extract coffee, whole bean or ground? I am new to this so any help would be appreciated.
