<h3>Ultimate Kretek</h3><h4>Description</h4>This is my latest attempt to create an accurate clove tobacco recipe. I think it is pretty close.

Clove naturally is the star of the show. FLV Clove is perfect for this but it is pretty potent. After some other failed experiments I realized that for an authentic strong kretek taste FLV Clove probably has to be used higher than people normally do, which is around 0.3%. So in this recipe I doubled that, YOLO.

FLV Tatanka (moist and sweet) and FLV Native Tobacco (bold with a bite) are here for the tobacco base.

FA 7leaves Ultimate (idea stolen from EdibleMalfunction's Blackest Nights) and VT bakery Spice Blend are used to add the spices often found in clove cigarettes to the mix.

This is good after a week or so but as you probably know, FLV baccos tend to change over time so make sure to also try this after two or three weeks. I like it best after a longer steep, say a month.
