Nope! Didn't land in my inbox and not in my spam folder either.....very odd, I tell you! I'll check some settings with gmail and try this test again. Thanks Jose.

I forgot I had this! It is still pretty good after 7 months, just a little more mellow.

Hehe.....I think I have some of this as well; it would probably come off pretty cloying and sweet to me now. I look back at some of my older recipes and think geez, I'd need to knock down the percentages by 3/4 to make it pleasing for me today. ; )

Had no cognac so I subbed with FA Jamaican Rum. This is a strong mix for sure - potent powerful and flavorful and robust. the rum really rides nice along with it but it's slightly overbearing as I'm not a big rum fan, although my friends who like rum (and even those who didn't) tried it thought it was great. I could see bourbon also working very well or maybe a brandy would be closest to the cognac as intended. But based on your praise of the cognac flavor I'm going to work to find it to try this as intended. As it stands though this recipe also works great with the rum. Thanks for sharing another great recipe!

whoa now that I look at it you must have changed it or I really adapted it! The shade was replaced by the Garuda and the DNB - Aha! So you really did go back and replace the shade with DNB in most your recipes (as per our other convo)...well if the last one was that good - can't wait to try the new and improved formula!

I have to admit, I am bad about making edit notes on my recipes now! In the past I did a lot of I, II, III, IV, V adaptations and would just "private" the older recipes when I changed a lot in the mix. So yeah, this one changed a bit, but I couldn't say for sure what the original recipe looked like. Sorry for the confusion!

And yes, if you do get the Cognac, go light on it! It can overpower the mix in a big hurry!

Well I'll help you with those edits! These are my notes and adapted recipe from one of your other versions - from as I described in my comment above. The rum would have been subbed for the cognac of course
Catalan Cream (FA) 3%
Cream Fresh (FA) 2%
Jamaican Rum (FA) 1.5%
Shade (FA) 2%
Tuscan Reserve (FA) 4%

Looks good! I haven't mixed with the Tuscan in a while. Since about Oct' 15, I've been on a INW, SC, HS and NET kick. I found the SC and HS tobacco requires much less of a steep time than other vendor concentrates. Steep time is one thing that kills me!

Can I low the cream flavor and high the cognac and tobacco flavors what should be the percentage?
