Goph's Flue Over the Arabian Highway

[gopher_byrd]

1.5% Arabic (HS)
0.2% Black Fire (FA)
4% Flue Cured (INW)
1% DNB (INW)
2% Highway (HS)

OK, my first published recipe. I was looking for something to go with an evening bourbon or a strong red wine. I really liked the three main flavors by themselves so I figured I would try them together. The INW Flue Cured is a nice smooth tobacco flavor without nuts or spice. The HS Highway adds just a small nut to the mix. And the HS Arabic adds a little spice. I threw in one drop per 10 ml of FA Black Fire to give a little ash and smoke to it. I'm leaving in my testing notes to see where I started. Let me know, good, bad, or ugly. I just ask that criticisms be constructive so I can improve this...

Let it age 2 weeks if you can...

BTW, I've been vaping this on a Goon with a 26 KA1 x2/38 N80 dual fused Clapton's 7 wrap @ 0.25 ohms on a parallel mech.

Cheers,
goph

EDIT: Added in the 1% INW DNB as suggested. Yup in your face straight on tobacco...

Awesome.

I've only got the Black Fire and the Highway, so I know what to throw in the next order I make. I'm quite a fan of the Highway, so it's already piqued my attention. Bookmarked for later, because I'm going to give this a shot.

Q, if you know: how similar is Arabic to anything else out there? Desert Ship? Turkish?

It has a spicy note that I don't find similar to anything else. When mixed with other flavors it mellows out after about two weeks, by itself the spicy still shows up. Maybe mix a sample by itself to test, I enjoy it standalone around 5%.

I've got and have used the Black Fire; but for me... I think for an ashy note I would use INW DNB. (With or without the Black Fire? Hmmm...) I like an ashy flavor to most of my tobacco juices and would probably start the DNB at 1%.

Thanks for posting your recipe!

Thanks for the hint! I'll have to snag some DNB with the next order.

INW Virginia Tobacco Absolute also works well with DNB

I agree and also find a bit of INW Dark Tobacco in the mix often goes well with..." an evening bourbon or a strong red wine".

Nice ! I've been craving Hangsen, and had to order a few flavors. More curious mixing it with HiLIQ's nic. I'm hoping it will taste like Hangsen's premixed or even better
