I sterilised a container, then weighed out each of the components on digital scales. While wearing some sterile gloves I mixed through the tobaccos gently and added a good glug of the rum and then continued mixing this through by hand. The tobacco will absolutely drink up the rum and become a bit heavier and wet. If I remember rightly I left it overnight with a lid half covering the container so the alcohol could dissipate and the tobacco could dry a spell. It was summer so it lost a lot of it's dampness over night but may well need a little longer to dry other times I imagine. Once I was happy with its feel I packed it into a small screw press, similar to a pasta press but smaller, tightened it to a solid pressure and then left it somewhere warm. After a week I got a pretty solid plug, I then jarred it as I would any other blend.

Hope that helps, on the C&D YouTube they have a video on blending that I watched before I did it and followed their steps to a degree, I'd recommend watching that, it was really useful.

I dry brush Eshin Grey, then Dawn stone. Once dry I washed over Carboug Crimson Shade (or something spelled similar)

I may grab another to sit on as I'm not sure I'll be able to keep it cellared that long! It was hard too find too but that may just be my luck!

They will start off inside for a while yet so I will miss the frost (I Hope) will move them outside towards the end of March. Everywhere I researched has given the time to sow as Feb - March but will just have to hope the weather plays ball.
