Afternoon,
Not sure how many of you know, but recently in Nova Scotia the provincial government has banned the sale of ALL flavoured tobacco. This includes menthol smokes.
I think certain cigars are still allowed to be rum or whiskey flavoured, but other than that nothing.
If I want flavoured tobacco I either have to import it at exorbitant costs... Or make it myself.
I'm lucky at least that there is a local B&M called Sievert's, while expensive at least has friendly knowledgeable staff.
It's not their fault a 50 g puck of pipe tobacco goes for around $36 CAD (~$27 USD).
I do import whole leaf tobacco from the States for a tolerable amount of money after imports.
It's lower for duty and taxes on whole leaf than it is on processed tobaccos.
I usually import around 5 pounds at a time. I stock an Aged Burley leaf, Flue-cured Canadian Virginia and Yenidje Oriental tobaccos.
I'm ok at blending for cigarettes. We've been at it for 2 years now.
What I want to know is:
Does any case their own pipe tobacco?
Have any recipes to share?
I've done a couple rum/vanilla casings with degrees of success so far.
I'm not the biggest fan of licorice/anise (please don't hate me...) so I'm looking for sugar sauces and probably alcohol sauces.
I've read up on other's recipes already (and if you want the links I've been using I can post them) but any help would be awesome.
No availability and the expense of importing make me want to learn.
After casing I've got a dehydrator I can work with as well.
I smoke a Brigham Algonquin 229 and my grandfather's briar marked Bromma Sweden on one side and a little elephant over 'Dollar' on the other side.
