Buford Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Ever made a mix that sounded good at first glance but upon smoking was discovered to be absolutely terrible?My latest failed experiment involved attempting to make a cinnamon apple mix using what I had on hand, that being Tangiers cinnamon and Nakhla double apple. Both are fine on their own, and it smelled decent when both containers were put side by side. I suppose the first mistake was to try mixing tobaccos that use different bases.The mixed flavor was virually indescribable. There was no cinnamon, apple, or anise flavor - the mix oddly enough came out tasting vaguely like a very weak coconut of all things. I couldn't finish the bowl... it was pretty bad.

Sonthert Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Yeah, Ghostbusters...classicActually, a long time ago, around here, I made mention several times that tobaccos of different foundations tended to clash with each other. Be wary!Foundation A:Molasses, full nicotine:Tangiers, Al Majlis, BahrainiFoundation B:Honey, full nicotine:Al Waha, Romman, PharoahsFoundation C:Corn Syrup, Full nicotine:Nahkla, SultanFoundation D:Corn Syrup, Reduced nicotine:Al Amir, Al Quemah, LAyaleena, Al Fakher.

inimicus Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Hmmm. I had luck several days ago with Romman Cherry topped with Layaleena Raspberry. In fact, it was delicious.Thanks for the information, Tang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 There's no guarantees. Thats the point...I'm not saying it won't work, but it may create problems or not...just leave me alone!I'm not crazy...I coated all the crazy parts in plastic...ah plastic!

Lukasa Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Wait, they use bases different than molasses?!?! How do they differ? Is honey the sweetest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 I am the only readily available manufacturer to use molasses. If they used molasses, they couldn;t come up with so many interesting shades of orange to dye the tobacco! Is there anything more insincere than ending a sentence with an exclaimation mark?I believe honey is less sweet than corn syrup, but its a matter of relativity. What do you consider sweet?Trivia question, related point: What is the largest mountain on Earth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
