How are you home batchers making toasts? Closed/open container? Temperatures involved etc.

open container, otherwise too much moisture for me…I am crude…just stir around until it just starts to smoke. remove… I want to try scorching some just to see if that is in the least appealing… No temps involved… The whole house smells wonderful when toasting…Instant nutty flavor for any of the pipe baccys I toast and grind into snuff after toasting…Mind you, I know nothing about snuff or toasting…This is all experimentation, as I have lbs. of pipe tobacco to convert to snuff… Turkish Izmir baccy works great for a base, as do Latakias & Burleys… :(|)

Ok, used a small copper bottom pot, which when it starts to smoke a little, I remove and stir the tobacco. First batch was a mix of cheap vanilla and a black cherry pipe tobacco. The second, I took a honey flavored Havanna Honey cigar, through it in a coffee grinder… I now have a very expensive, super deliciously honey toast with the consistency of berwick brown. It is amazing.

You guys have wanting to mess up some of the wife’s pots and pans.

I watered down my honey cigar snuff with some old dried out carter hall, and went a bit more aggressive on the toasting. The grind is finer now with a little more time in the coffee grinder, I threw in a dash of salt. You could easily go 4 parts carter hall to 1 part cigar. Now I have to take a special trip to a tobacco shop just for pipe tobacco and maybe a few cheaper cigars. I need lime I guess, or baking soda to up the pH right?
