I reciently bought some menthol crystals on ebay . I figure when my humicant gets here that I'd try my luck with a menthol brand .

Just playing I took one menthol crystal about an inch long and about half as fat as a cigerette . Placed it in a plastic bag with probably a half ounce of tobacco .

I just took this and shook it around for a few minutes and rubbed the crystal through the bag and shaking it more . Well in 5 minutes I have a strong menthol taste but it left rather fast about half way through the smoke .

So I just kept playing with it and would rub around on it a minute and then seal it up and let it set a few minutes . Well I repeated this for aboput an hour and have a bag of menthol baccy that taste like menthol even on the last puff .

Kinda overwelmingly strong menthol the first puff or two but after that your either numb or it tones down to a nice menthol taste . I dont like menthol myself but my daughter smokes them so I'm thinking it will be very easy to make a menthol brand just like store bought ones . To beat it all I still have the crystal it looks unchanged lol .

The way this taste one single crystal an inch long would make a cartin of smokes .

Wifey and I used to smoke menthol til we met a girl who worked for RJ Reynolds...said she signed a non-disclosure letter w/ them and that all she could say is that they r the WORST cigs that anyone can smoke! Period! Dunno about the homegrown menthols, but certainly scared us back to smokin Lucky Strikes :)

My sister smokes menthol, and she likes to go with a really light menthol in the tobacco, ( she mixes 1 part bought light menthol tobacco, 1 part full flavor regular) and uses menthol tubes.
I've tried a couple, I hated em, but then again I can't stand menthol.
I'm gunna try a small batch of menthol and clove this season and see how it works out.

Just now finished mixing some dried spearmint with tobacco. Good smoke with a hint of menthol. This years spearmint isn't doing to well, may have to buy some. Tobacco's doing well though. Even a bit of fresh mint mixed works well.

I dont have a supplyer lol I bought these on ebay from a herbal shop called Raku Gold Pottery . But they all kinds of people selling it on ebay . Yea you can pay a high price or shop around and get 1/2 pound for like 6 bucks . Shippings running about 5 bucks .

But you dont need 1/2 pound I can tell you right now just 1/4 pound will get you this menthol you just can't get enough of lol . Just let the baggy with baccy in it set over night with one good size crystal in it . If that doesn't do it for you put two or three in it lol .

Just make sure you take a small puff for the first one lmao because that menthol is overwhelming in just 12 hours . I did it late evening yesterday and this morning early it was powerfull strong . I seen where someone in here mentioned they couldn't get the menthol in the baccy good enough and I can't understand that one . In fact getting less in it will be the trick lol

I lied about the price . I bought some other stuff and got mixed up sorry dude . The price was actually 13 dollars . I usually remember better than that but mixed the price up with some cocoa butter I bought .

I might be slipping :roll:
