I am sure someone else has done this but don't recalling reading it here on the site.
Tobacco that I had fermented and was enjoying I had a little experiment with and was quite surprised and impressed.
I already liked my tobacco not the most exotic of blends being my first try growing so Cowboy Light and Golden Light and had found that using the Vera Cruz tubes greatly influenced my enjoyment of my cigarettes over the cheap tubes I started with. (my preference is the black Midnight ones and can tell the difference between the different papers by Vera Cruz)
I allowed my shredded tobacco to dry to low case around 8 to 10 percent then placed it in a sealed plastic container with a small glass of scotch about 25ml. In the enclosed environment it took on moisture from the scotch to raise it to 18 percent which it has held.
Removing some and allowing it to reduce back to 12 to 14 percent then loading my tubes was amazed at how mellow it now tasted. The tobacco removed from the container had a slight hint of scotch to the nose but the enjoyment of the smoke was in my mind impressive.
I didn't spray or drip scotch over my shredded tobacco I just let it evaporate from the glass and be taken up by the tobacco in the container.
I recommend it being worth a try.
My next attempt will be with either cognac or rum.
