I'll probably let the doused (I suppose you could say soused) dry and then hit it again.

If it can walk a straight line you dried it too much :).

If you haven't already, jar up some of the FVF and then lose it for a few years. I have a gigantic mason jar tucked away that I filled with a box or two of the stuff back in 2011. You'd be convinced I'm growing diamonds, not storing tobacco.

:lol:

Day one, and the experiment is going well based on the aroma. The tobacco dried a touch overnight but it smells very strongly of good, real whiskey, unlike some other whiskey aros I've sniffed before that seemed a bit "generic". I'll leave it sealed until tomorrow and hit it again with the stuff, then allow it to sit for a week or so, then do a final drying down to reasonable levels. Then the taste test will begin!

I'm inside from working in the shop. My pipe cabinet is coming along nicely! Had a nice bowl of Balkan Sasieni while I was out there, and I would have stayed for a second but I just can't handle the cold. Mom has Raynaud's Syndrome (or whatever it's called) and although it's less prevalent in males, I think I may have it too. Started noticing it in my early-to-mid 20s. Seems like my fingers and toes are much, much more sensitive to mild temperatures than most everyone I know.
