Pipe tobacco topping

[ChinaVoodoo]

Thought I may as well buy a few flavours since postage would be 3-4 times the cost of an ounce bottle.

I can buy them locally at a particular baking store. Here's a place to start.

Thanks China.
The closest I found was in the next state. Some of the above stores are within driving distance, lol.

I may have missed this question, with what ever flavors are being used, should they be mixed with water or alcohol? I don't see how you could get the flavorings to mx well unless you could spray them on tobacco.

Given that 1 drop of some essential oil flavorings is sufficient for at least several ounces of a tobacco blend, diluting it allows it to be evenly distributed by misting it over the shredded blend. For oil-based flavorants, dissolving in vodka or other ethanol beverage works well. Much of the ethanol evaporates. For polypropyleneglycol (PPG) based flavorants, you can dilute them with either water or an ethanol beverage.

Thanks for the answer, I'll assume you would mix small amounts, like just enough to moisten the tobacco blend?

Seven years ago, I mixed up 2 ounces of diluted Seagram's Canadian whiskey with two drops of two different LorAnn essential oils, for misting a batch of shredded pipe blend. Most of that is still sitting in the little misting bottle. It goes a long way.

Traditionally ,Casings are water based and toppings are alcohol based so.. go alcohol!
