Tonight, I was intending to construct some fags. Unfortunately, I had forgotten that I had not prepared some tobacco. People will recall that I prefer to moisten my tobacco with orange peel by putting the peel in a gauze pouch and inserting the pouch in a container holding very dry tobacco which I have grown myself.
But, despite the fact that we have every conceivable Christmas concoction, we just happen to have run out of oranges.
I decided to take advantage of the situation and decided to flavour my tobacco for use tomorrow with whiskey.
So I took a lump of cotton wool. I soaked it with whiskey (not a lot). I placed the wad in my gauze pouch and enclosed it within the container holding tomorrow’s tobacco.
Wehey! When I opened and sniffed the stuff inside the container, I nearly fell over. The pong is very distinctive. God only knows what it will taste like when smoked.
Is it not interesting that we have Tobacco Control to thank for these erudite tobacco experiences? If it were not for them, we would still be slaves to Tobacco Companies’ products. THANKYOU, TOBACCO CONTROL!

“Is it not interesting that we have Tobacco Control to thank for these erudite tobacco experiences?”
It is entirely due to the cognitive dissonance caused me by Tobacco Control in it’s earlier incarnation that I ever started smoking at all!

Hello, Rose.
Welcome back!

I’ve tried brandy but have yet to try whisky. With last year’s crop I put some fermented leaves in a sealed jar with a little bit of brandy and left it for months. Possibly too much brandy because I then had to let it dry for quite some time!
Your method sounds a lot quicker.

It works really well, LI. The pouch is merely laid on top of the tobacco. The tobacco seems to absorb the liquid readily, even the stuff at the bottom of the container.
