I aimed to make a recipe focused on the tabacco, without great distractions such as high doses of fruity, vanilla or caramel. I also wanted to test the Purilum tobaccos I had recently bought. To give complexity I decided to bring characteristics of alcohol and nuts.

Recipe Formulation:

Tobacco Bourbon (Purilum):
I hope it brings some strength to the recipe, something I miss in most tobacco recipes. I read reviews that after 2 weeks it brings out a bit of dark fruit and wood, something that I crave in the recipe. Initially I decided to use 4%.

Tobacco Original (Purilum): Again, I hope it brings some strength to the recipe. I also want it to bring some ash traits to make it taste more like flavors from cigars. Initially I decided to use 2%.

RY4 Double (TPA): Bring some sweetness, vanilla and caramel. I believe 4% will be enough to sweeten the recipe.

Note: most recipes do not use 6% of tobacco if they are not sweet, but as I said before, I want something stronger rather than sweet.

Acetyl Pyrazine 5% (TPA): Traditional in many recipes with tobacco. Aim to highlight flavors of nuts, from the Tabacco and pistachio, so that they do not disappear. 0.5% is usually enough.

Pistachio (TPA): My instincts tell me that a little pistachio will bring in complexities from earthy and nutty characteristics that will do well in the recipe. In future versions, there are good chances of being replaced, or having your dosage altered. I'll start with 1% so it does not stand out too much.

Kentucky Bourbon (TFA): Just a small amount to bring traces of malt and a little complexity.


Possible additions or future substitutions:

Brandy (TPA): in my opinion an underestimated essence with good potential.

I really appreciate any advice or feedback.
