I just received it yesterday! : ) I also ordered the Campfire scent to mix in if she thinks that it needs a little "smoke" to it. I can't wait to try it out!

NG's Tobacco was one of the scents that I took to the woman at the Co-Op and they all smelled it and they thought it smelled like soap. (Actually to be precise, a men's soap) Same with the tobacco caramel. I did use the fragrance oil finder that someone recommended and found several tobacco scents. I'm going to try the tobacco scent from Bitter Creek and see what they think about it. I might mix some firewood scent in with it for the smokiness. Anyone else, and I think NG's tobacco would have been close enough. Thank you everyone who has answered! I appreciate all of the help!

Forgive me for not replying, I just came up for air from the holiday rush! Well, I made up a sample using NG's Tobacco and another using NG's Tobacco Caramel and it didn't pass the test with the handful of people that are requesting the scent. (One is our local Co-op, who would love to carry tarts and candles in the scent...and they know their tobacco barn smell! lol) I'm in the South, so it's huge here. I just can't nail the exact scent, which is sweet and smoky all at the same time. In my research, I did find this "The resultant tobacco possesses a powerful smoky note reminiscent of smoked meats and provides a rich “smoky & sweet note” in tobacco products." I had someone suggest that if I could find a barbecue scent, firewood scent, or beef jerky scent that I should try that. I'll let everyone know what I come up with and thank you so much for all of your input!

I have a customer that wants me to make tarts for her that smell like a tobacco barn. I've used NG's tobacco caramel and I've been told that's not the correct smell. I don't know what a tobacco barn smells like and would appreciate any help! Thanks!

Thank you both so much!

I cannot seem to find an answer to this anywhere. Does anyone know about shipping to an APO in Germany? For the life of me, I don't know how to do this! When I'm trying to get a shipping quote from say, USPS or FedEx, is it considered International or domestic mail? Thank you!

Thank you, I wasn't really sure where to post.

Vicky, I tried the Krylon clear coat and it was very tacky. Does the glaze dry tacky, as well? I've found the glaze from one supplier and I'm just wary of spending that much money for a gallon when I don't know how it will work. Thanks so much for your help! : )

Does anyone here make hurricane shells? I thought I would try to ask again. I make them, but I've had a lot of people ask if I can paint or stencil things on the outside of the shell. I know that it's possible, but I'm not sure what products are best for doing so? Any help would be appreciated!

Hello everyone! I lurk a lot but I love all of the advice that I read, so I thought I would post. I primarily make (and sell) soy container candles and tarts, but recently started making hurricane candles. Long story short, someone who visited my house saw a couple that I have as decor in my living room and mentioned it to a furniture store owner. This man would like to order 25 of them to use as decor in their showroom. Which is unexpected, but great. The only thing that I'm not sure about is how to protect the finish on the shells. I know that there are products that I can buy, like candle glaze or spray on luster- but I'm not sure what would be best as a protectant? Thanks in advance!
