My wife is an amazing baker and has some very high quality flavorings she uses for frostings and for pizzels. Last week she made a chocolate cake and frosted it with a chocolate/coconut flavored icing that tasted like a mounds bar which was to die for. She agreed to come up with some flavor blends to help me make some home blend aromatics!
she has flavorings that may make some interesting aromatics such as sasafras and a few others I cant remember right this second and the usual ones like coffee..toffee..ameretto..anise..vanilla..french creame...chocolate truffle .. dark chocolate...and few dozen more that I havnt even seen yet!
I know I want a few cube cut burley blends so what are some flavor suggestions for CC Burley?
I will also buy some dark burley..virginia and cavendish and maybe some lat. This will require much input from the brothers and sisters here as to ratios of what tobacco to blend to compliment different flavors.
Once I get the tobacco, most likely after income tax refund, I will post what tobaccos i have purchased for blending and and what flavors my wife is willing to use for our combined undertaking!
I look forward to working with my wife on this and also look forward to any ideas from everyone on blending the different tobaccos to match what flavors we have have!

I think you might be somewhat disappointed. Baking flavors are nothing at all like what is used for tobacco. Vanilla extract for instance, is going to leave barely a trace in the tobacco if you use the bakers version. A good place to start though would be to get flavored emulsions. They are liquid based and intended to not "cook out" while baking. Lorann's rum emulsion seems like it might work but I've never tried it.

Gevening sir, I wish I had a wife at times, you lucky devils, but as for flavouring Alan Kerslake ( RIP, has some wonderful YouTube videos, & someone said he founded , the gentlemens pipe smoking society, on Facebook if I am not mistaken , a Welsh wizard ;-),
He recommends using shisha molasses to mix tobacco, though I tried it & it is too messy & too halal, but the wife may love it, I prefer engine oil machines & wood a glue & solder & wires & ink and paper, to mess with, but wives have lots of money to buy mechanics these days & Engineers, they are all into DiY & prefer robots, :-( , or ball players or toy soldiers or muzak stars xXx
P'S, there is also cheap whisky blends that moisten & flavour baccy.
P'S, Alan also mentions some legal healthy traditional herbs he uses in his baccy, I have tried herbs for a while before I discovered Alan pipe lore, & they should be treated with care in pipes. If you are interested enquire further.

These flavorings are quite intense they come in 5mL bottles and cost 10 bucks each...each bottle can can can make make 2 or 3 batches of hard tack candy.. but I will try a small batch to see how well the flavor holds up and thanks for the heads up. She uses Wilton and loranns flavorins so we may have what it taeks..I will keep you all posted! |

Mike, You might want to give Leffingwell a good read. I've included the link below. By all means experiment! Just don't be too disappointed with the early results. For best results you'd probably want to use a combo of the alcohol based flavorings and the emulsion based. www.leffingwell.com/download/TobaccoFlavorBook.pdf |

A fair book, perhaps. P'S I thought to end on, the Celts they say mastered the herbs of the Atlantic in the same Way the Japanese mastered the herbs of the Pacific, from my BAT cave. Under the Oak.  |
