Something like Liqua French pipe tobacco?

[bazmonkey]

I'm looking for a DIY recipe that has a pipe tobacco / cigar tobacco taste. I really don't know the difference between Virginia, Burley, Turkish, etc.

I have tried TFA RY4 and their "tobacco Blend", and the M-type. The blend is my favorite (is RY4 supposed to be very sweet?), but I'm looking for something more robust. The M-type has an overkill amount of nuttiness and with its long steep time I haven't found a way to use it yet. I have a couple of ideas but they're still two weeks of steeping from being able to even try.

Yes, there's tons of tobacco recipes here. Not knowing what these flavors taste like I'm having a hard time picking one. I also don't have much DIY experience outside of TFA flavors.

Could someone point me to a pipe tobacco recipe to start with? Any suggestion, really. I just need a starting point. What I want to avoid is buying a lot of odd flavors to make a blend only to find out that's in the complete opposite direction of what I'm looking for.

If y'all need more direction than that... I like V2's Sahara, JC Original, Liqua Fr. Pipe Tobacco. Liqua's American tobacco was just too light, and the only RY4 I've had is good but sweet to the point it's not very tobacco-like. I'm not too picky, so what I'm really trying to figure out is how to get the richer tobacco taste and not just the caramel/vanilla tobacco taste or the nutty tobacco taste. Somewhere to start from.

Thanks guys.

I really like Hangsen pipe flavorings. 5-8% is what I use. I tried Liqua French pipe and thought it was just a little weak. The super concentrates from ECigexpress or vapingzone has French pipe flavoring. One can start off at 2.5%. You can also find Hangsen flavorings at ecigexpress. Vapingzone has a small collection as well.

Thanks. I had never even heard of Hangsen flavorings. Are super-concentrates simply very concentrated flavorings or is there something unique about them?

Out of all the tobacco flavorings I have tried in the past 2.5 years they have a true tobacco essence flavor.(Hangsen brand). The SC are developed for vaping. These flavors are Chinese.

Perfect, thank you!

I have all three of the pipe tobaccos that Sdh mentioned, and all three are good, bold, realistic pipe tobaccos. So far I think I like the VZ and ECX SC/Tobacco Express ones a bit more than the Hangsen. But, that may change... I've been trying my Hangsens at lower percentages (same as the SC - around 3%), and I'm liking them much more now. I have the Hangsen pipe mixed at 3%, but haven't tried it yet.

Anyway, in my long-winded way, what I'm saying is that any of those three will be a good choice.

I have three Hangsen tobacco flavors on the way! With what I've got now I should be able to make a fine tobacco.

You might consider a VG pipe tobacco essence. Take a handful of pipe tobacco, cover with perhaps 30 mL of VG in a pan, bring to boil for less than a minute, let sit overnight, then filter. You will get a very true flavoring. I use it at 10-20% in a VG juice. Note: you don't get much nicotine this way, just flavor. Very very true flavor. And this is a flavor that gets much better with age too. Mine never goes bad.

I recently did this, I made about 20 mL of essence from about 30 mL of orginal VG plus Captain Black white pack pipe tobacco. One pack will make about 100 mL of finished essence. I mix mine at 10% and let it steep for 2 weeks, ocassionally I will add a drop or two of French Vanilla.

Also this has become my all day vape, its good stuff.

More thanks, everyone! I might try that essence idea when I move out of this tiny studio this summer

Some Hangsens pipe, Turkish, and desert ship just arrived. I mixed up a batch of the pipe and after some warm water stewing its already on its way to being tasty. Will steep.

My goal here is to find a good rich tobacco to go with the menthols I've figured out already, and make 40-ish mg/mL nic cartos. At work and home I vape constantly and make ~12mg/mL so I don't overdo it, but when I'm just out and about I'd rather have high-strength juice a-la njoy kings. With a cig-a-like and a nifty Pcc like the AIO, I can vape more like I used to smoke: shorter satisfying sessions. Finally I'll be able to boil down my setup into a single pocket-sized item when I don't want to carry it all.
