Homemade twist

[Bruck]

Thought I'd wake up this thread with an update.
Tried to make another twist last nite. Didn't work. The wrapper leaves were a little too weak and holey. So now it's in the press on its way to become flake, which I'll probably use for chaw. Contents:

Dark Air, Burley, KY VA Bright, cigar scrap, cigar scrap cavendish, imzur, VA red, prilep, MD 609. A lot of that stuff was part of a tobacco bomb from @Tobias Lutz , tnx vm Tobias, I'll send you some if it tastes halfway decent. Moisturized w/ DW up to this point.

Will do. I need to make another twist soon. The last batch succumbed to mold as I got careless w/ moisture and temperature mgmt. This is a problem for homebrewers - w/o using preservatives, one has to be careful not to let the blends stay too moist for too long and/or (in my case) let them sit in a hot vehicle.

Cool. It made me wonder if anyone has ever tried cigar wrap tobacco from Wisconsin? I know they grow it in the southern part of the state for just that; cigar wraps.

Interesting, can't say I've heard of that. Most of my whole leaves are from KY or various places south of the border.
