I’ve got a friend who’s a dealer in aromatic oils, particularly Aloes, which is a very highly prized scented wood/resin that is highly prized by the Japanese and the Arabs, amongst others. I could get some essential oil from him. How could I use that to make my own scented snuff? I’d like to use Toque Quit as a base, but I’ve got no idea how to mix it with the oil. Maybe dilute with pure ethanol and spray it on, then mix it? Any ideas?
Pick a type of wood that has a scent you like , coat that piece of wood with the resin and place it in your tin. I would not let it touch the snuff. Incense from the persian gulf is usually a combination of a type of aromatic wood coated with oil ( they call it bokhour oud)
@Gax1985, it sounds like you know your oud. I had never even heard of it before an Australian friend turned up in Jakarta looking to source it here, considering that much of it originates from the Indonesian islands of Sumatra, Kalimantan and West Papua. I speak Indonesian well, so he corralled me into serving as an interpreter while he haggled with the Arab traders around the large cloth market. At one point, he headed off by himself to some warehouse in the industrial suburbs to check out the better quality stuff (which the traders don’t usually keep at the markets). I had a fun few days as he explained the ins and outs of it. He gave me a small pile of the raw wood and a coal burner to burn it on. A very subtle, beautiful smell. He said almost all of the oil you buy is adulterated one way or another, the only way to be sure of getting a good product is by burning the actual wood. But back to snuff. I’ll give a shot at the method you suggest. I’ll smear some essential oil on a piece of gaharu wood and seal it with some Toque Quit for a week or so, without mixing directly. I should have used the search function, I found an great post on this in another section: The definitive snuff flavoring technique thread
Bokhour Oud is very expensive in the gulf … I bought some when I was in Kuwait and it cost me 7 dollars for a touleh (100g). The oud burns quick so a 100 grams is barelly enough. I managed to keep whats left of it for four years. The way its used in Kuwait as at social gatherings, and after cooking (its extremely potent). The smell is divine, and words cant describe it. The best advertising I found is done by the Bokhour sellers is burning their best stuff in a Mabkhara ( coal incense burner) and the smell drags you into the shop to inquire 
When I suggested Aloeswood in “If you could scent a snuff what would it be ?” someone was quick to point out that it was CANCEROGENIC. This is simply not true. Aloeswood can/has been used medicinally to treat cancer and other dis/ease. I have been using aloeswood snuff for over twenty years along with meditation… that’s all I really have to say…thank you.
@Ji Yes, I think it was confused with Aloe, which in Africa it’s ashes have been used in snuff and has proven to cause cancer.
