Mostly Propylene Glycol / Glycerin as humectants combined with fake, synthetically made flavors.

Do they do the same thing for your regular, hand-rolled cigars? (Not the infused, of course)

LOL ... can you tell I'm a fan of aro's?  In my most recent casing, I did include a little LorAnn's Coffee Flavoring. This will not come out in the smoke so much as just mellow the Natural Burley leaf I'm using. |

SOME makers will include what they call a "mojo" which is a solution sprayed onto the leaf mostly for aroma. I've done this with Spiced Rum and also used tobacco concentrates with success. |

I am actually in the biz and have access to all kinds of 100% natural flavors. Orange, Lemon-lime, Fruit Punch, Grape, Vanilla, chocolate etc.
Never tried to use them as flavoring. Maybe one day if I get bored...

I made a blend recently, and used concentrated food flavorings (same as vape liquid flavoring). Some brands are more concentrated than others, some are more candy-like, and some are more "realistic". FlavorArt from Italy makes the most realistic flavors, and that's what I used. They're also very concentrated. Their raspberry is very very close to the real thing. LorAnn makes a decent root beer, and watermelon. I wonder what watermelon snuff would be like?

I made some of my own extract out of cherries and I used bourbon for some flakes. I also used LorAnn candy flavoring for some.

Doesn't bother me. I'm sure we eat a ton of crap we'd rather not know about. I ate tripe and tendon in my Pho last night! |
