I threw a weird one in the press yesterday but I needed to consult my computer to remember what it was
0.75oz stokkebye toasted burley
1oz stokkebye 702 burley
1oz luxury twist flake (rubbed out of course)
0.5oz c&d izmir
The burleys and twist made friendly with a shot glass of bourbon in a container for around 2 weeks. Everything got a spritzing of a light casing made with brown sugar, white sugar, and a drop of molasses. A tiny bit of blood orange bitters snuck into the small bit of casing. So did some magic glue. I plan on leaving this particular train wreck in the press for a week

Everything sounds good, and I am curious to see how the Izmir does in there. Sometimes it really highlights the burley, other times it tastes like a dead snake on burned toast. I bet it will be good though..Mr Beardsley wrote: ↑Tue Apr 30, 2019 5:45 pm I threw a weird one in the press yesterday but I needed to consult my computer to remember what it was

I'm definitely hoping to avoid any dead snake flavor. Originally there was going to be a tiny bit of latakia in it but I didn't feel like finding the jar. The izmir was in plain sight

w00t! That sounds good.Mr Beardsley wrote: ↑Sun Apr 28, 2019 1:35 pm Winchester + dark fired hot off the press. I'll be trying this one at the meet later today
Ingredients are mostly together for the next round but I still need to prep a little casing and some magic so I'm not sure if I'll get it together before the meet or tonight or whenever

It's absolutely fantastic (love at first puff type stuff) . Based off of a mix I saw you speak about multiple times. It somehow makes the reds in the Winchester taste... Redder. I'll check my stock of Winchester and send you one sometime soon padreFr_Tom wrote: ↑Tue Apr 30, 2019 6:38 pmw00t!

Winchester is good, and I have smoked a fair amount of it in the past. It is tasty as is but it is just too mild for my leathery palate.Mr Beardsley wrote: ↑Tue Apr 30, 2019 6:57 pmIt's absolutely fantastic (love at first puff type stuff) .

Yes, it is definitely a mild mild smoke. Kentucky is a perfect additionFr_Tom wrote: ↑Tue Apr 30, 2019 7:22 pmWinchester is good, and I have smoked a fair amount of it in the past.

My Anise Burley came out of the press a couple minutes ago. I think I sufficiently cranked down on the press, and the tobacco was much warmer, and a tad more moist from the extra casing. It came out about half height of my last two(with a half ounce more tobacco), and it feels almost like plastic. I can't really smell the anise in it, so hopefully it comes through in the flavor, otherwise I might have to start not being so conservative with my additives.

Looks fantastic. I think it's definitely going to take some experimenting to get an actual flavor dialed in vs a hint of aromatichoutenziel wrote: ↑Wed May 01, 2019 12:41 pm My Anise Burley came out of the press a couple minutes ago.
