Tobacco Soap

[GreenDragon]

One of my hobbies is making soap for home use and gifts. I was making a batch of Castile soap yesterday (Olive oil soap) and as I was blending the batch I looked up and saw a bag of rolling scraps on the end of my work table. For grins and giggles I decided to make a batch of tobacco soap. I made a tea extract using hot water and added that as a colorant to a small batch of soap. Made a very nice color brown I think. The scent that I added? Why "Cognac and Cubans" of course!

That sounds handy. Whenever I wash tobacco goo off my hands, it leaves brown swirls all over the bar of Ivory soap, and has to be washed off. With tobacco soap, I could just leave it smeared on the bar.

Awesome... so do you shave this and smoke it in a pipe or more like a cigar?

Shaved it can substitute nicely for Latakia in pipe blends. Smoked straight it's indistinguishable from Pirate Kake.
