You might be wondering how to make your own since clove cigarettes are now illegal in the U.S.Which is perfectly legal.If you want to make a delicious clove cigarette, you need to learn how to flavor tobacco and prepare cloves.Also used in a pipe.
Step 1: Take your tobacco and cloves.
Depending on how much clove you like, you can do a clove:tobacco ratio of anywhere from 1:3 to 2:3.It will not burn properly if it is more than that.One source for cloves is www.penzeys.com.There is a difference in smell and taste.
Step 2: The cloves should be prepared for inclusion.
A clove is a dried flower.There are four points between the petals and the little ball at the end of the diagram.If done with patience and a good paring knife, this will make a clean cut.Don't bother if you enjoy the exploding end.
Step 3: This is actually good, even if the ball breaks in half or thirds.
We try to leave it intact or in large pieces because the crackling sound of the ball is actually a fire.It is where the Indonesian word "kretek" comes from.Coarse grinding the clove does a good job.
Step 4: Take the calyx section and put it in your mortar, coffee grinder, rocks and ground.
Whatever you're doing to grind them.We want this part to be ground up so that it will burn cleanly.The Djarum Blacks were mostly ground cloves.The coffee grinder ran for about 20 seconds.
Step 5: You can mix it all up with the amount of tobacco you choose.
If you are using a table top injector, load 1/3 tobacco, a layer of ground clove, then another third tobacco.
Step 6: It was done!
If you want to flavor the entire mix, you need to proceed to the next few steps.
Step 7: Coffee, tea, orange blossom or rose water, extracts such as vanilla and almond, and alcohol all taste very nice if you get practically any liquid.
Pick your liquid and add it at the appropriate ratio.Dry ingredients are in a bowl.I usually use 1:7, but it depends on how strong you are, how long you want to wait, and what you're doing to dry it.
Step 8: Allow your mixture to sit for 1-2 hours.
The flavors will be absorbed by the dry ingredients.
Step 9: To dry the mixture in the oven, spread it on a cookie sheet.
It should be mixed up time to time so that it dries evenly.It can be a little hard to dry when you take it out.A Pyrex/heat-safe bowl is an option if you want to put the mix in a fondue set.The hotter the mixture is, the quicker it dries.It works, even though it sounds crazy.It takes a while to let it sit in the air.
Step 10: The final product!
Adding a darker liquid will make your mixture darker.Not every part is labeled.That's right, i.e.The balls are labeled but not all of them.The clove is labeled but not all of it.It's time to pack a pipe or roll it up.Enjoy!
Step 11: Don't be near the cheap hand held if you are using an injection.
The Vera Cruz Midnight is almost like the Djarum Blacks, and is also on the choice of tubes.A sprinkle of ground Nutmeg will get it closer to the Djarum Blacks.If you liked the taste of the saccharine water, you had to dip the filter end in it.Saccharine can be found in tablets at most grocery stores, just grind it up and let the cigarette dry before you start smoking.
Step 12: Clove cigarettes do not use saccharine.
The dip is made of sugar, maple and Licorice.Real kreteks don't use artificial ingredients, and have pride in that aspect.
