Smoking Some Home Made Tobacco

Recommended Posts

Captain black pipe tobacco washed in hot water until no more brown water came out.

Then, on low heat on the stove dried the tobacco.

After dry, same heat, added honey.

Keep adding honey and let cook for a few minutes.

Let cool down, add glycerine. Then add candy flavor oil.

Smokes amazing, tastes great. Say hello to Cookie Dough shisha smile.gif

I definitely plan on trying that with some pipe tobacco.
Be aware though, that some pipe tobacco blends, CB included, have propylene glycol added, to keep the tobacco supple. The PG will make the tobacco seem moist, even when it should be dry as a bone from evaporation. I don't know what it does when it burns, other than leave a nasty wet film in my pipe, I avoid blends pipe blends that have PG.
It may be that the washing process takes it out.
Just a thought.

I will post pictures tonight.

I made a new batch re-using some crappy HH/AlWaha tobacco that I had lying around. I washed and boiled the old tobacco to remove the flavor.

The consistency of the new tobacco is a bit different. Imagine mixing coconut flakes with warm butter, kind of wet and crunchy.

I experimented with some new flavors. Guava = pretty darn good. Juicy pear = amazing. I brought a batch over to a party and everybody loved it! Some people called it the best shisha they've ever had!

If only pipe tobacco didn't cost me $20/40g. ($0.50/g)

I really hope you mean ounces, not grams. If not... shit. I'm not entirely sure how tobacco could be that expensive, even in the worst of tobacco-buying countries.


No, I mean grams.

Tax on manufactured tobacco in Alberta is $0.22/gram alone!

Update:

Made a new batch of pear shisha. I didn't cook it quite as much and it turned out great. I'm getting great flavor for about 1.5 hours. Great clouds too. All my friends love this shisha.... my buddy wants me to start producing it with him. I think I'm getting somewhere with this
