Maple syrup would taste fine but the problem is that your chew would be very, very sticky. A better method might be to use concentrated maple flavor from Lor Ann Oils, then add a sweetener of your choice.

How did you make your ropes? I tried today to make a twist but it was very difficult because after the tobacco had dried from the saucing it was a bit brittle and hard to twist into a rope without ripping it. I am trying to make something similar to the oliver twist tobacco bit but I am struggling at the twisting stage, any tips?
try to tone down sweeteners over time too, most of the mouth issues over time are from the sugar. and pure tobacco flavor is the best too! 
Or use a sugar substitute like I do. As for making a twist, your tobacco needs to be soft and pliable.

So I would bring my tobacco leaves into medium or high case then sauce and let dry then twist correct? Has anyone made a twist before that could tell me how they do it without tearing the leaf and also how many leaves to put into a twist if I want a 1cm or 1/4" circumference? I put a few leaves in my twist today and ended up with a loose 1" ripped up log that was hard to twist without ripping the leaf where I was holding it. Are there any videos on making twist? I got the saucing part down I just need to work on my twisting. Thanks for the help!
Try this, He doesn't actually start twisting until about 9 minutes into the video

To make a twist or plug as some call it I take the leaves and start twisting them together like wringing out a rag...in oposite direction if each other...the leaves have to be real wet and flexible...I soak em in flavoring in a bag until they are pliable to do so with them I wrap a rope or a rib around it and hang I up to dry. Then I cut a bite off for a chew. I did screw this up one time ... Don't use fines or ground up tobacco flour/dust to do this...it molds on me...I have to use straight up de-ribbed leaves...

Chewing
Recipe No: 1
100g Raw tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum kind of like Havana)
2dl Apple juice
2-4 pinches of salt
Cornstarch (to taste)
1 3dl Sprinkle / jam sugar
Start by adding up the tobacco in a bowl, add apple juice until all tobacco is moistened. It should absolutely not be any dry leaves or crumbs. Should something be dry so add a little more juice (but it will not run on tobacco).
Now take out a baking tray or something like that and rolling the tobacco in foil (It will be a hot dog (or dogs if you make more tobacco).
Add the sausage to the plate and put it in the oven to be 80grader warm.
There shall be 24 to 36 hours.
Now that tobacco sausage touched 24-36 hours then you should take up the tobacco and roll it out of the foil and sprinkle 1 3 dl sugar and cornstarch in a little tobacco. Once that's done, you should be rolling the tobacco in foil sausage and run it into the oven 1/2-1 hour until the sugar and starch smällter into tobacco (it has not gone off in so close to it and run approximately 10 minutes to in the oven, repeat the process if necessary.)
Now, the sugar is melted and your tobacco to cool and mature a few days in the refrigerator so that the flavor will be better.
Recipe No: 2
Pour apple juice (100% natural) in the frying pan. Let mostly boil away. Pour more. Repeat this three or four times until the apple juice has been given a golden brown character. Then add five or six mastkedar syrup. Stir and add one or two pinches of salt. Stir again. Now you take the pan off the heat and pour in the crushed tobacco and stir. (I used three large cigars that I smashed in the absence of other) Add the whim of tobacco that it soaks up the apple juice and syrup. Now everything should be dark in color and feels sticky. Let everything dry a little bit, so that tobacco has a chewy and slightly sticky feel. It should not be too wet, take a pinch between your fingers. Can you bake a ball of it, it's the right consistency. Enjoy!

What measurement is "dl"?
Matty
Well-Known Member
Dl is deciliter I believe, it's metric
yes absolutely right, thanks
1 dl = 50-55 g
"Deci" is a prefix that means one tenth. Therefore "deciliter is one tenth of a liter. It is a volume measurement.
One milliliter of water weighs one gram. There are 100 milliliters of water in a deciliter. Therefore one deciliter of WATER weighs 100 gms. This is true for water. Since liter is a volume measured the weight of one deciliter of different things also differs.
It' s easy.. 1 dl= 100 ml which = 100cc. 30cc= 1 ounce so 1dl= a little over 3 ounces of liquid.
