@Kinnikinnick I just got some Tuscan Reserve and I’m thinking about something like a (Nutty Rum Reserve) any thoughts ?

It’s been a while since I mixed with the Tuscan, but I do remember that it was a nice cigar type flavor. I had bookmarked a recipe to make using that flavor recently.
What I do remember about the Tuscan is that the steep time of about 3 or 4 weeks was important. 
But, “nutty rum” sounds good! 
I might have to experiment with the Tuscan, rum and SC Island tobacco (coconut based tobacco); seems like coconut and rum with a cigar kick would be tasty!

Sounds good so what is a good rum flavor ? coconut flavor ? and what % for them ?

My choice would be INW Rum (plain, not Jamaican) and INW Cocopilada. Some favor the TPA Coconut Extra and FA Jamaican Rum.
INW Rum 1% to 3.5%
INW Cocopilada 2% to 4%
The INW Cocopilada has a bit of a pineapple note to it as well; just thought I’d throw that out there, in case you hate pineapple. It’s supposed to be a coconut cookie type flavor, but if your looking for the cookie, you might want to add some INW biscuit or FA cookie to the mix.

That looks 
Just have to sub the two apples with some other apple or maybe two apples

The EF Two Apples Plus is a very nice, almost sweet-ish licorice/anise flavor. So, if you have that type flavor(s) in your stash, give it a go!

I don’t think so, I’ve got Fuji FA, Apple (Tart Granny Smith) TPA and Cap’s Double Apple.
I’ve never used the Double Apple 
so I’ve no idea about the flavour profile and if it has that same licorice/anise effect. I do of course have anise and licorice in my stash, which was probably what you meant with your comment, DUH

Yup 
My Two Apples is almost like a 2:1 licorice/anise combo; a bit heavier on the licorice than anise.

[/quote]I will work that in with some Fuji I think. Notes on the Double Apple are sparse but it seems to be more of a green apple and not very ripe.

Nice, simple, don’t hide the tobacco recipe!
Saw your 45 day steep note. Yup, the FA Tuscan is one for a good long steep. I found with most FA tobaccos…mix’em and forget about them for at least a month or more.

Thank You … this is the first Recipe I posted it came out pretty good. I tried it after 3 weeks but the coconut was a little strong . Let it set for 45 days and it mellowed out nicely

Do you have INW Cocopilada or INW Rum (just plain rum)? If not, these two are very nice additives to tobacco flavors. I found it very hard to find a coconut or Rum concentrate which I enjoyed; for me, these finally foot the bill. YMMV
