Sounds good to me. Though I'm not sure the author's particular tastes necessarily match up with my own, his technique sounds pretty close to what I've come up with so far.Calumet wrote:Found some usefull information on:

I don't think there's any limits, just so long as your tobacco still burns when you get done with it.Or are there no limits? Just make your own brew?
To my taste buds, fermented tobaccos tend to be easier on the tongue. I guess the natural sugars tend to burn hot and caramelize on your tongue in the process, and fermenting removes a lot of those natural sugars.I aim to get a mild Aromatic smoker.
And I have a pack of Semois tobacco at home,But to tell you no lies
it's horrible,they call it the not for no reason "La langue du chien"
So if this is the baccy growing here I will come out like that I might try somthing else next year.
What in your opinion would make the mildest smoke?
But on the downside, I personally find that fermented tobaccos tend to leave a fouler aftertaste. If I smoke a fermented tobacco, I usually feel a strong desire to brush my teeth afterwards, whereas I don't necessarily when I smoke non-fermented tobaccos.
So there's a trade-off there: easier on the tongue, but a fouler aftertaste.
Well, I'm hardly a pro, but yes, I do believe you can take a harsher tobacco and soak it in water, alcohol, liquor, etc., and just so long as you're draining away the liquid when you're done, you should also be removing ... something ... I don't know if it's flavor or nicotine or what, but you would be washing something out of the tobacco in the process.Is it in the size of the leafs or the matter of curing?
Drain the leafs in water? I've heard somthing like that but I prefer to here it from a pro.
