Thanks for the recipe. I'll have to give the menthol a try, I've got the chocolate and vanilla. Do you think a mint extract would work? I have some peppermint extract.

I have been using peppermint extract since I could not find spearmint extract. The tobacco will smell of mint but you won't taste it.

I appreciate the offer. I have L8 I also have Ky15 and KY16. BY the way, the 1951 KY16 died after our two days of rain. With all the bad luck we have faced this year I bet it will be a good one.

Sorry to hear the 1951 died on you, but as they say around here, that's farming. Hoping you have better luck in the future. :D

That is farming !! Sorry to hear you lost them though .

I know I lost mine also , not that strain but all the ones I just had a few of wanting to get seeds and try them . For me it seems to be best if I plant way more than I need . That way if I lose half I still have some

I would try to germinate the 1951 seed about 200 (+/-) at a time. In reality three or four germinated since last year but I couldn't keep them alive. I sent seed elsewhere and they have one plant that germinated and is growing pretty well.
