In my experience, Idaho 7 is very “piney”. I don’t know of an exact substitute, but look at something that imparts some pine as part of its flavor.

I've used 007 a few times. I think the best replacement would be Chinook or CTZ. I prefer both of those over 007. But that is just my personal preference.

I've used 7 a few times, I liked the piney/black tea thing it does. I can't think of a replacement that is very close.

Have you checked Farmhouse? They always seem to have Idaho 7 in stock. Order a pound, freeze what you don't use right away.

How long will they last in the freezer? I have a couple random ounces that are like 3 years old lol

Thanks for the responses guys.

BAR, I’m a big fan of Chinook. Can’t say I’ve ever tasted CTZ tho
