[QUOTE="huffelpuff, post: 535490, member: 2140"] Generally speaking when you add alcohol to tobacco it's best to bring the tobacco up to a pretty high temperature. 1 it drives off some of the moisture 2 it opens up the cell structure to the new flavors being added. I don't have my notebooks handy but I believe it's around 180-200* that the blenders look for before adding flavors. Considering the size batch you're talking about experimenting with just letting it get dry should be sufficient though. That said I have just added straight to the tobacco and it does work but it takes a very long time to get it smokeable after that. I have some cherry Cavendish I added 151 rum to about 25 years ago that only really got smokeable about 10 years ago. Before that it tended to burn hot and bite. Now it's a nice mellow smoke.
