Alcohol aromatics

What are your favorite aromatics flavored with alcohol and what alcohol is used?

thesubcon · August 2016

Though they are really pretty wet, I really like the East India Trading Co's "Cellar's Reserve" and "Officer's Club"...they are both flavored with rum. But to be fair I just love rum anything generally. Funny enough I like 2 blends that I *believe* don't have any in them but taste like they do: Russ' Monthly "Thumbprint Cookie" (tastes like a rum or whiskey), and Newminster's "No. 400 Superior Navy Flake" (tastes like rum is in it but none is listed). My wife has really taken to the Out Of Office blend "Few Too Many" which has a really distinct whiskey flavor to it. It's pretty good.

@thesubcon I have tried all of EITC's blends and Officers Club is by far my favorite. Give Barbados Plantation a try from Sutliff.

PipeProfessor · August 2016

I love rum flavored blends. Barbados Plantation is my tops, but rum and maple is good as well.

Borkum Riff Bourbon Whiskey for me. I know there are some similarly flavored ones out there, so I'm looking forward to trying some of those.

PipeProfessor · August 2016

@topaz75, I tried that once and it bit the hell outta me. Never again! I'm glad you enjoy it though!

I like Kendal Rum Flake

PipeProfessor · August 2016

Just how good is it @pappyjoe? I have heard others mention that as well on other boards.

I love a good whiskey Canvidish

I generally stay far away from aros. SG's Bothy Flake and Navy Flake are both topped with alcohol; do those count?

I will throw this into this category even though its not exactly an aromatics, in sense its not cased, Frog Morton's Cellar is my favorite. When I'm in the mood PS's Sambuca. I haven't smoked a rum tobacco in a long time though. I think I'll have to break one out of the can in the next month.

PappyJoe · August 2016

@pipeprofessor - I like it. I bought one tin to start with and bought two more tins on the next order.

drac2485 · August 2016

@pappyjoe Apparently I am going to have to spend my vacation experimenting with flakes. Every one keeps mentioning them and I have never had luck with them, I only tried a handful of times over the years.

PappyJoe · August 2016

@drac2485 - I find it helps to let them dry out a little first. I like to take a flake or two out and let them set for 15 or 20 minutes. Mostly I rub the flake out but lately I've had good luck with rolling it up.

drac2485 · August 2016

@pappyjoe Thanks. I actually pulled out a few jars of flake last night and am rehydrating them. I opened the tins when I first started smoking and didn't know better so I just put the lid back on and left them for a few.... *COUGH COUGH COUGH* years... Surprisingly when I jarred them a while back they weren't too bad and even still have a good smell to them but they just break apart to easy right now to try and smoke them.

PappyJoe · August 2016

@drac2485 - I try some before rehydrating. If they break apart that easy, just rub some out and give it a try. Make that "rub some of the tobacco flakes out."

drac2485 · August 2016

@pappyjoe I'll go home tonight and see where they are at. I thinking the same thing but unfortunately I think they may a little to crisp right now for that. There is absolutely no flexibility to them, they break like bark.

PappyJoe · August 2016

@drac2485 I have read discussions about crispy tobaccos on other forums. The consensus seems to be that some tobaccos are actually better when they get that dried. I wouldn't know on a personal level because I haven't had any get to a mummified state yet.

drac2485 · August 2016

@pappyjoe I'll definitely experiment with it when I get home. I might keep rehydrating my Capstan Blue and let my Orlick dry back out since I have another tin of that

PipeProfessor · August 2016

@pappyjoe, awesome, I may have to get some!

thesubcon · August 2016

@pipeprofessor is Barbados Plantation just a straight rum? I tied Country Squire's Treasure Island....perfect straight rum, but I kinda think a rum tobacco needs to have an accompanying flavor with it to really nail it.

PipeProfessor · August 2016

@thesubcon It also has a splash of vanillia that really mellows it out.

PappyJoe · August 2016

@pipeprofessor - Rum Flake review has posted.

thesubcon · August 2016

@pipeprofessor oh cool....it's on my "to purchase" list

After trying many rums, I settled on Jonah's Curse Black Spiced Rum. I drink it neat and use it to flavor tobacco.

I'll toss my two cents in as well when it comes to the East India Trading Company blends - Officer's Club, Cellar Reserve, and Royal Challenge. Also a fan of Barbados Plantation and two bulk blends from Sutliff ... Sunset Rum and Rum and Maple.

Sweet Rum Twist, Comoy's No. 2 Portwood and my Evening on the Pizer blend that has red wine.
