How do you make homemade flavored tobacco?

How can you make your own hookah tobacco?

• A friend of mine has a really nice hookah said that he can make his own tobacco for it. Is this true? I have pipe tobacco, but there is no way you can smoke it through a hookah. Can anyone tell me how to make pipe, or any other tobacco work in my hookah? I'd like it to taste real nice too. I know I can always just go buy some but it is quite pricey.

• Answer:

  50g unflavored pipe tobacco 2 tbsp Arizona honey 1 tsp glycerin ~10 mL flavoring (can be most anything wet) The key to the tobacco is soaking it before use. I soaked it for 4 days, changing the water daily, to extract the stuff that doesn't taste good. Eventually, the water only changed color a tiny tiny bit. After it was done soaking, I spread it into a thin layer in a bowl and microwaved it until it was dry. Mix the dry tobacco with the flavoring first. After you've spread the flavoring around to all of the tobacco, add the melted honey and the glycerin. Mix to make it look like normal shisha.
