Hookah tobacco making process

[cypress]

I think this would get more attention here. I didnt want to move it
because I was posted in introductions and hooqiqah introduce himself
there.


[quote name='hooqiqah']Hello to all.

I am an old hookah smoker and have done so in many countries.
Damascus was probably the most impressive with cafes and huge hookah
stations, a bed of coals and six foot pipes in great number on entering
them.

I am posting for a particular topic. My neighbor is growing tobacco
and we are searching for AUTHENTIC, reliable counsel on how to prepare
tobaco in the traditional manner. Since this will be using the home
grown with care tobacco we need more than hearsay. We also have
apricots growing here and I have always liked most the most natural and
the apricot blends at least seem to be pretty natural. I am looking for
the specific process in making the mixture????

Thanks[/quote]

welcome to the forum and good luck with that! Try posting this question
in the main forum, some people rarely read this one (like me)[/quote]

[quote name='NERV']I don't think anyone on the forum has made their own
tobacco, but people often pad dryer tobacco with honey. I would imagine
that you could make it by drying out the tobacco, cutting it up, then
marinating it in your blend of honey and flavor, if you used normal
fruit juice the resulting flavor might not be as strong sinc emost
companies seem to engineer their flavors and most taste like mixes of
sugar (possibly derrived form the honey/molasses) and fruit extracts.[/quote]

I just read that journal, it's cool. Also, I haven't tried making my own tobacco yet but I have a feeling that using vegetable glycerine would give the tobacco a better taste than molasses. Most tobaccos seems to be molasses based but I have one that's made from glycerine and it's the beeest. Although, I don't really like molasses to begin with so that may have something to do with it.

I get liquid vegetable glycerine from my local Food Co-op but I'd recommend any health food store.
