Campfire nights
Description
Taking inspiration from an absolute wizard, Mr @alfredpudding, I decided to tackle a tobacco recipe that wasn't so much about capturing a specific flavor but instead about capturing a memory or a feeling. This boozy/smokey/chocolaty recipe is meant to capture the feeling, or foster some nostalgia for an evening sitting around a campfire sipping at a bottle of whiskey and maybe toasting a few s'mores.
Not quite so elegant a solution as the 3 piece masterwork that is Cabin, we've kind of got a lot of moving parts here so let's try to break them down.
**SC Old Captain** - Really the root of the recipe all started here, it's a tobacco alright, but really it's so incredibly chocolaty that I knew where I wanted to go with it the second I tasted it. It's still got a bit of tobacco behind it but pushed higher than the rest to really allow that chocolate to cut through into the final product
**FA 7 Leaves Ultimate** - It's dry and sorta spicy, almost bringing the smell of the forest or firewood with it.
**FLV Red Burley** & **FLV Cured Tobacco** - The tobacco base needed to be emboldened to keep up with the booze and chocolate so bringing in this combo was a suggestion courtesy of @NoWar, and it absolutely works without steamrolling everything else in the mix.
**FA Irish Cream** - Partially aiding Kentucky Bourbon and partially helping keep the recipe from drying out to the point of being more reminiscent of a desert than a campfire.
**TFA Kentucky Bourbon** - Booze, but with little focus on the burn and more on the flavor that lingers on your palate.
**FA Vanilla Bourbon** - Just a touch of vanilla to help the chocolate along.
**TFA Toasted Marshmallow** - Adding a bit of sweetness but, more importantly, just a hint of smoke to help really hammer the point home.Recipe
