All right then, I'll try it your way this time.

I smoked pall malls when they were American tobacco company. So burley casing is supposed to be overly sweet. But making invert sugar syrup and adding a bit of water and glycerin seems to be best for simply smoothing it out and taking away most of the bite.
I have had some of that McClellan its a nice blender but I find that citrus taste is bittersweet good for blending. I have a lot at home and it blends well with the old lemon but not with the new lemon. Carolina Virginias have a unique taste to them great for blending.
This burley 64,I have been working, when I misted it with sugar, an then put it in the Microwave,an nuked it until dry,it smoked great,still had a faint throat hit,
will I have gold leaf coming. Maybe itll be better.
I'm a little confused on ratios.what is 5-2% how much is 2% is that to a quart.1/4 teaspoon?
2% would be 2 teaspoons of whatever to 98 teaspoons of whatever. or 2 quarts to whatever to 98 quarts of whatever.\
A quart of water weighs about 806 grams. 5% of that is about 40 grams. One tsp of granulated sugar is about 4 grams. (A US cup of granulated sugar is about 200 grams.)
So, 5% sugar is a smidgen less than 1/4 cup of granulated sugar per quart of water. You would likely have to heat the water to dissolve the sugar, then allow it to cool.
[This sounds more like a Danish pastry than smoking tobacco.]

Foot thought growing tobacco to make a good smoke was suppose to be
Easy.
The growing part is simple, though not easy. Mixing potions is a different matter.

Kind a like puting A sauce on a a high dollar steak.me I like a to taste the steak, no sauceI was lured into pipe smoking by the aroma of casings many years ago. The smell of vanilla, cherry, amaretto, etc. flavored tobacco is what drew me in. Pipe tobacco with added casings (such as the ones I just mentioned) are referred to as aromatic blends. However, as I began experimenting, I developed a taste for non-aromatic blends, and, since then, I no longer smoke aromatics. I feel that casings cover up the flavor of the tobacco. Although every now and then I'll smoke an aromatic blend, I prefer the taste of unadulterated tobacco. Smoking straight tobaccos might seem monochromatic at first, but this is far from the truth. The possibilities are endless as there are so many variables involved in blending tobacco. I am currently smoking a cigarette blend consisting of 60% flue cured, 35% burley and 5% dark fired. The small amount of dark fired gives a nice smoke.

Come on guys! Three teaspoons is a table spoon, Two table spoons is one ounce. 8 ounces is a cup. 32 ounces per quart. 128 ounces per gallon.
Teaspoons, table spoons, etc. are units of volume not weight. Who taught you guys how to cook? Even on that Great British Baking Show they still use English units of measure for cooking.
