All y'all cowards are fuckin trippin. I know I'm not the most prolific mixer on the sub, but since /u/Apexified said I am, I took the compliment. Just because most of y'all gotta come in here swinging your dicks around tryin to flex some bullshit, doesn't mean a pal can't give ya man some compliments. Anyway, I don't really give a fuck, I like my recipes, if you dont, that's cool. Shut the fuck up and move on.
​
So here's the strawberry cigarette I was working on for the end of 2018, but decided to drop in the beginning of 2019. In a slightly intoxicated state on night, I figured a strawberry cigarette was a good idea.
​
When I woke up the next morning, I realized it WAS a good idea. This is a simple mix that somehow has loads of complexity. Recipe and notes below.
​
Strawberry Cigarette - ATF Link
- FLV Kentucky Blend at 1%
- FLV Virginia Tobacco at 2.5%
- INW Shisha Strawberry at 2.25%
- TPA Brown Sugar at 1%
​
THE CIGARETTE
FLV Kentucky Blend/FLV Virginia Tobacco - After months of testing different tobaccos to create IPA Smoke, I realized that these two work really well together to create a pseudo-cigarette profile. The Kentucky Blend is earthy, dark, dirty, and deep. It has smokey notes in it, some subtle sweetness, but overall, it's just a delicious dark pipe tobacco that really gives some "ash" on the back end after a few days of steeping. Virginia Tobacco, is light and dry. It has more of that light cigarette tobacco feel to it. There's some bitterness that plays really nicely with the sweetness of Kentucky Blend. In this mix, using Virginia Tobacco at a higher percentage helps fight the overt sweetness we get from the strawberry and brown sugar. Back in college, I made a friend that rolled his own cigarettes using a blend of cherry pipe tobacco with some full bodied cigarette tobacco. I fell in love with those smokes. To me, the mix of FLV Kentucky Blend with FLV Virginia Tobacco is almost a perfect emulation of those cigarettes I used to bum from him.
​
THE STRAWBERRY
INW Shisha Strawberry/TPA Brown Sugar - When working with profiles like tobaccos, custards, ice creams, etc, I've found that INW Shisha Strawberry works incredibly well. I typically rock the FA Strawberry/CAP Sweet Strawberry combination when I'm creating full fruit profiles. But in this mix, using that combination was pretty disgusting. Which isn't too surprising. Who wants a candied strawberry profile with a dirty cigarette? Probably no one. Or maybe a fucking coward. Who knows. But with INW Shisha Strawberry, we get a nice blend of a deep, slightly overripe, authentic strawberry with a touch of sweetness. I've read before that mixing INW Shisha Strawberry with things like caramel and dark sugar doesn't really work. While that may be true for typical application, we can see that this is not your standard strawberry recipe. In this, the addition of TPA Brown Sugar not only amplifies the nuances within the tobaccos, but also nearly exaggerates the overripe sweetness of the strawberry.
​
STEEP TIME
Shake and vape is definitely good, but after 3 days, the strawberries and tobaccos blend together into something special. Before the steep, the two stay fairly separate, but after a few days, they meld together and we get, truly, a strawberry cigarette.
​
This is a weird profile, I admit. It's strange, not an ADV by any stretch of the imagination. However, I find myself constantly wanting it for a few hits. It's really odd, really tasty, and a good way for ya boy to start off 2019.
How are you going to repay me for the half a million brain cells I lost reading this post?
I'm going to mix this but I suspect I'll have to be drunk to try and review it.
I see this being good as a SnV. Those FLV tobaccos are nice right away but they tend to disappear in a week and come back with more nuance in the second week. Happy new year!
I need to mix another bottle and let it sit for a few weeks to see what happens. It is really solid as a shake and vape, it's just really interesting how the tobacco becomes a strawberry bacco after a couple of days. Happy new year, brother. Hopefully by 2020, I'll have posted enough bullshit for this whole sub to become comatose.
Cheers!
That title gore. You're killin' me, smalls!
2019 I'm on my bullshit
It's weird that I used the same fact about you to give you shit twice but the one time I use it as a compliment some people want to act like it's a circle jerk.
/u/DarkJester89 is a half-deranged curmudgeon--Oh, no /u/DarkJester89 I paged you, you are now part of the circle jerk.
oh, i'm a circle jerk professional, I can fit 2 dicks in each hand, yall don't even know.
the circle jerk conundrum is ..how many times can yall tag each other in a 4 week period.. lmao apparently anything with "of the month/year", the circle jerk starts and then its the same names in and out. lmao
..I'll give you that, I had to google wtf a curmudgeon was.
You are being a real...*shuffles 18th century deck and draws card * ...fussock!
Damn this is some movie type "gangster" Shit
Shut the fuck up man, I'm shocked when you referred to as humble and then you do some shit like this lmao.
This ain't sex and the city with this drama, go work on your recipes, lord knows they need it with your "doesn't even taste like mango rice but it's good" recipes. Lmao
The salt is real lmao
Huh? I've never done a mango rice recipe.
lmao, if you did, I bet it wouldn't taste like mango rice.
this is all is jest though, but damn, that's the spiciest comeback to a community outcry, and after even watching two homosexuals argue.
This will be fun to put in my pods I bet, thanks for sharing
So the initial idea behind this was to be a pod recipe, but when I do pod recipes, I'll develop them as a drip/tank recipe, then adjust for pods. So, can confirm, it's really nice in pods as well. Enjoy, lemme know what you think!
It's not a bad idea, a strawberry cigarette. I worked on one of these not to long ago but I squirreled before coming close to finishing it. Now I might not have to (will definitely try this one first, see if it hits the spot), so thanks.
You probably started it shortly after /u/chemicalburnvictim did something similar.
We talked about it, he even bought JF Sweet Strawberry because that's the one I was messing around with trying to make a strawberry ciggy, but I can't remember if he'd already made Strawberry Blondie public at that point or not.
I think we started talking about it because you had been working on it around the same time I released it and I beat you to the punch. Muah haha! Kind of like how I made a beer and cigarette recipe a few months before IPA Smoke was dropped, and now I obviously can’t release it because it’ll look like a copycat. Especially because I used Lovage, Yakima, and Sweet Cigarette as well. Don’t remember mine being any good though.
Your strawberry tobacco was a lot different from what I remember though. I have a version saved in my ATF, but it was one that I had dicked around with quite a bit and basically ruined.
You probably started it shortly after /u/chemicalburnvictim did something similar.
whelp, since all i'm missing is the shisha, and this looks good for running in my pod, guess i know what's gonna be in my first flavor order this year. Especially with that "take a few hits" thing...just what i have the pod for. Something for a few hits at high nic.
Yeah this is definitely great in pods, you'll need to up the percentages a bit though, obviously. I upped everything by a decent bit and goddamn, it sings in pods. Simple, but effective.
