Makes 6 ounces of Clove Tobacco for Rolling Your Own Clove Cigarettes.
Ingredients:
-6 ounces of Tobacco. (Depending on your preference, you can use whichever of our blends you like, but if
you smoked Djarum Black Clove Cigarettes, our customer
recommends you use our Blend 99.)
-3 ounces whole Cloves. (Whole dried cloves can be purchased at better grocery stores.)
-Vanilla Extract.
-Clove Essential Oil. Our customer
recommends Now Brand essential oil, available here.)
-Ground Nutmeg. (You probably already have this in your kitchen.)
-Optional Ground Cardamom. (You may not have this in your kitchen, but it's easy to get in the spice aisle of a grocery store.)
-Optional Stevia, or sugar water.
Equipment:
-Blender / Spice Grinder
-Large mixing bowl
-Optional: BBQ or basting brush.
Method:
Put the cloves into a blender/spice grinder, and grind coarsely. (About 20 seconds) Getting the ratio of clove to tobacco can be a matter and taste, but for a Djarum Black type flavor, our
customer recommends a 2:1 ratio of tobacco to clove. So, if you are making 6 ounces of the blend, (remember, 6 ounces of tobacco is enough to make about a carton of cigarettes)
then you will want to have about 3 ounces of ground cloves. (Remember, this recipe is approximate, you can adjust the tobacco to clove ratio to suit your tastes. At the listed ratio,
you will actually have closer to 9 ounces of Roll Your Own Clove Cigarette Tobacco.)
In mixing bowl, combine tobacco, ground cloves, a dash of nutmeg, and a dash or
two of
cardamom. Mix, being careful not to be too vigorous.
If you mix too hard, you may break the tobacco into pieces, and
it will not roll right. When the
dry ingredients are well combined, add 2 caps Vanilla Extract, and 30-50 drops of Clove Essential Oil. Stir carefully to coat the tobacco and spices with the liquid ingredients.
Allow the tobacco blend to completely dry.

Optional:
After making your clove cigarettes, use a BBQ or other basting
brush to gently brush the filter end of your clove cigarette
with the Stevia/sugar water solution, and allow to dry. This step will add the sweetness to the filter that some Clove Cigarettes have.
Enjoy! Remember, the proportions can be altered to suit your individual taste.

Here are the supplies you need to get from us to Roll Your Own Clove Cigarettes at home:
*Clove Cigarettes are very oily. Due to this factor, cleaning and maintenance of your rolling machine is important. Make sure that your roller is clean or it may jam eventually. Make sure you dry the tobacco thoroughly before using an injection machine. We cannot recommend using an electric machine for this since we have no idea if it would cause the machine problems or not. Be cautious when you Roll Your Own Clove Cigarettes!
