Okay folks, let's do this.
You will need:
1 pouch of your favorite cigarette tobacco (I use Midnight Special)
1 pouch (about 3-4 ounces) of Clove buds (you can get them usually for a small amount at grocery stores)
A coffee bean grinder
Paper towels
Tupperware container
Ziploc baggie
Take some paper towels, dampen them and put the cloves in the middle. Nuke on 50% power for about 30 seconds, let sit for 2 minutes or until the cloves have absorbed some of the water and are less hard.
Place them a little at a time into the coffee grinder and grind the hell out of them until they are shredded into smaller bits. Don't use clove powder as a cop-out. It does not have the amount of essential oils necessary
Measure out how much clove you have, and make it into a 40% clove and 60% tobacco split into the Ziploc baggie, shaking to incorporate it all. Squeeze out the air and let sit for about a day.
While you're waiting, take some filtered cigarette tubes and dip the filtered ends in a sugar solution of 1 tbsp sugar to 2 tbsp water, let dry.
To make a clove cigarette:
Add a small amount of the clove tobacco into the cigarette maker.
Take one of the sugar-treated filter cigarette tubes, place into your cigarette maker, and follow your cigarette maker instructions.
You can also roll them filterless, and spray the resulting cigarette lightly with the sugar solution, and let dry.
Enjoy your clove cigarette, and fight the powah!
Thank you! You can also - instead of water in the cloves - grind the cloves dry, mix as per your ratio with the tobacco, then add a 1:8 (liquid to tobacco/clove mix) of a natural sweet water such as rose water, or light vanilla alcohol extract - let dry or dry in toaster oven. Be careful, don't burn - it will make your cigarette hot and terrible. Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteAHA, thank you Silva! Hee heee heee That's awesome. I can't wait to try that as well!
ReplyDeleteDon't they dip the tips in a sugar/clove syrup as well?
I'm trying to quit. But ya know....one once in a while won't hurt me.
And I know your comment to this post will help others immensely. Sorry it took me so long to get back to you - I have a very active preschooler. Active as in "I'm going to put him on a large hamster wheel, attach it to a generator and make my own power" active. XD
