Sorry, don't know the exact rum they use but now that you have a tobacco press make your own with Captain Morgans Dark Rum. Or any other spiced Rum. You won't be disappointed!!



KEEP ON PUFFING!!!

Could you experiment a little Arky? Press some small samples with different rums?

I've done it with GLP Union Square + Pussers.

Blue Label , or if you can get it your area the Black lable
Gun Powder  Proof.

it does'nt take much, you do'nt want soggy tobacco. clamp it down
& leave for about a month

I've heard the flavors used are extracts not bottled liquor.  :shock:

That's what I thought.

Most definitely the major tobacco manufacturers use either oils or extracts. However I've had great results with Southern Comfort and a good Bourbon. Just don't soak the tobacco, I use a clean glass bottle with a fine mist spray.

i made some navy this year with with Bacardi rum and its good but a little sweet i just wanted to cut the sweet. my tobacco plants are starting to finnish up and ill be running a new batch threw the press here in a few months give the leaf some time to sit a bit just getting ideas.

Best suggestion I have is to use overproof rum. The super high alcohol content leaves less water in your tobacco and should increase the amount of flavor you get from the same amount of rum. Anything over 150 proof should work.

[Lonecoyote]

Totally agree with Jim^^^^^^ 150 proof will NOT be sweet but will add the Rum flavor your looking for!!



KEEP ON PUFFING!!!

 

[arkansaspiper]

awsome i think i used 90 proof

 

[Lonecoyote]

Arky, 90 proof is only 45% alcohol, 150 proof is 75% alcohol. Get your hands on some GOOD Moonshine....190 proof plus!



KEEP ON PUFFING!!!

Arky, try and get your hands on one of the Jamaican overproof rums. You'll probably have to order it in but the difference between the real Jamaican overproof vs Bacardi 151 will shock you.
