This is great. My favorite tobacco and one of my ADV's. Like it especially after a month natural steep. It's not too heavy or overwhelming, just slight honey notes over the light tobacco and the cream makes it so smooth. Top notch!

I can't say it's my own creation! It was adapted from another recipe. But, at that time, I had to knock down the tobacco a bit; 5% was a bit much the first go round. Hell, if I made it again, I'd probably add another tobacco or three today. ; ) This recipe was created in my early days of DIY mixing. I wasn't the tobacco hound I am today!

I kind of thought so as I've seen the recipe around a bit and it's much simpler than most your stuff. I'm in my early days of tobacco mixing so go figure, but this has been a staple for months. I think I like it because it's light and vapped easy all day. Haven't had all the ingrediants for a lot of your other recipes but the ones I do I find like a good scotch...much more sophisticated than my palette can fully comprehend but I'm learning and gaining a new appreciation.It's definitely the most interesting and enjoyable part of diy ejuice right now.

Would love to see you make an updated black honey for your tastes today!

It's funny.....I went through a early period of making simple mixes, then crazy complicated recipes for a while and now I'm back to 2 to 5 flavor simple mixes. After a while, I kinda felt like the palette can really only decipher a few flavors at a time. Thus, you'll be able to see my gradation of feelings on flavor with some of the dates on my recipes.

My feeling now, is keep it stupid simple. You'll fret a lot less with trying to balance things out. There is NO PRIZE for having a crap ton of flavors in a mix, ranging from .01g to 10g. I look at some of the recipes which are mixed by folks touted as mixing gods and think to myself, there is no way anyone's palette can pick up on .2% of any flavor with a total flavor percentage of 15% to 20% in the mix. It's just silly.

Some flavors require others to create palate affects and or ingredient mimicry, and that can boost % to those higher ratios- which I'm really not a fan of either, but guilty none-the-less.
