Strange commission

submitted about 8 years ago by ieatblackbeans

Somebody wanted me to make them a peach-kiwi tobacco flavor. I've been struggling to really find something I feel like balances the fruit and tobacco, and is also someone sweet. Here's what I have so far:

TFA Juicy Peach 5% FA Kiwi 3% TFA DK Tobacco 1% TFA RY4 1% TFA Bavarian Creme 1.5%

Now, I've been mixing for a decent amount of time and have made some recipes I'm proud of. I'm just not sure if I have the flavor knowledge to help out this recipe. The fruit base seems fine, but does anybody know of a Tobacco that complements fruit more? Also, is there a sweet, creamy flavoring that would work better in this recipe than Bavarian Creme?

Any ideas or suggestions would be much appreciated.

SC Island Tobacco has coconut notes. Might be a better fit.

I would be inclined to try a whip cream flavoring over the bavarian cream. Whip will be lighter, more airy type of cream that may sit better with the fruits.

/u/ieatblackbeans - you see this guy's flair? He has that for a reason, I would listen to him.

Yep, CAP Vanilla Whipped Cream would be my first choice for sure, probably 1.5%.

Any other tobaccos that you think might work with a sweet fruit mix?

ECX Win Churchill tastes like it's single and ready to mingle with some fruits.

I originally created this to be a tobacco base for a fruity tobacco thing I was trying. Added some FA Apricot and INW Cactus to it. Didn't like it, but I think that's because I don't really like fruity stuff. Alone it's pretty good though. The Gold for Pipe is a nice bridge between the tobaccos and fruits.

FA Kiwi 3% TFA RY4 3% TFA Whipped Cream 1% I'd try FA Peach and FA White Peach at 1-1.5% Should give a nice sweet tobacco/Kiwi inhale and peachy exhale.

I'd first kick the dk out and double up on the ry4, maybe even change that to TFA RY4 Double. Or at least lessen the DK and bump up the ry4 slightly.

I've found that a hint of strawberry can add sweetness without overly affecting the actual flavor, so that'd be worth a shot at least to try.

FA's Vienna Cream is, to me, a tad sweeter than TFA's Bavarian Cream, but I like them both quite a bit so I don't think you're going wrong with the TFA choice there.

I find Captain Black to be a great backbone for tobacco + flavorings. So maybe try swapping it with each tobacco and see if it works. Or listen to everyone else, they are probably smarter than me.
