Decano by FA

Hello everybody,
I need any notes on a relatively new (at least for me) single flavour by Flavour Art. It’s called Decano, it’s listed as tobacco.
Any help will help

Flavour Art Single Flavor Tests by SessionDrummer -- Testing NOW!

Despite using FA’s flavors for years, I’m FINALLY getting around to doing some SFT on them. A huge thanks out to @drew1 from BCF for sending these new flavors my way for testing. Mixing them now, and am finalizing the steep time(s). [Vape Mail 5-30-21_1] [Vape Mail 5-30-21_2] Mixing Now … Amarula (FA) 2.5% (6-4-21) – FIRST one on deck from FA’s NEW flavor releases. Ama what ?? Yes, Amarula. If you’ve never had it, it is a creamy liquor from the African Marula fruit. I’ve only ever t…

There you go Darling.

Was told its a like a western delicate cigar with creamy caramelized pear but i haven’t tried it yet for my opinion.

Thanks very much for the linkage @SquirrelSmash.

I’m not even a tobacco guy, so when something captures my interest, that’s saying something. If you like the notes below, I would recommend picking it up. It was a complex one.

@SessionDrummer

Decano Tobacco (FA) 2.5% (6-5-21) – Decano translated means literally the Dean, or Professor, so your takeaway on the name or meaning may vary. The Professor of Tobaccos ?? This one WAS a complex one, no other way to put it. The main note it centered around an RY4 main note, but the other notes, swirling around, made it hard to nail down. At times I almost got an orange nuance, but without the sharp citrus punch, and others I was picking up a slight dark choco, maybe even a coffee. More often than not, I was greeted with a dark earthy, almost slightly smoky finish. Hehe, yeah, this one’s hard to nail down. There was a creamy element thrown into the main RY4 note, that wandered around a vanilla, but not consistently, but it was there none the less. If you think it’s hard to perceive this one, try to explain it hehe. I’d love to hear others thoughts on this one, as it WAS a great, complex ride for sure. All in, this one was QUITE the mysterious one, and in a GOOD way. I’m going to have to leave this one as a very complex RY4-ish mix, with some slight fruity notes, a good creamery element, with an interesting slight chocolate/coffee/smoky finish. 2.5% felt really good, mid level sweet, and just a swirling deliciously mysterious one this one was. Going high for the complexity, blending, and overall effect. 9.8/10 .

@SessionDrummer thank you very much for the feedback.

@SquirrelSmash the only thing left is to sentence the deceased, I mean the defendant bwahahaha

@Beaufort_Batches appreciate your help.

You all have a good one.

At first I thought, what the hell did they do with this one? As SD said, it is a complex one, he was right.
As a tobacco lover and fairly good tobacco mixer, couldn’t place it, tested at 2% and yes it has some caramel notes, some RY4 thingy going on, but at the end it’s a shitty tobacco, FA did it again.
My brain went: NO GO and stalled on: this is a sh** this a sh**, and on and on and on, but all of a sudden it switched to, oh Christ, this is perfect!
It is the perfect flavour to do a fag (cigarette) , something to make people switch if they want to keep that kind of (shitty) taste but improved.
My brain went crazy, and started the process, pair it with some TPA Western or FLV Classic cigarette, Red Burley Fa Soho, Glory and the like, put some acidity like Whisky or a lime, now we have a winner and it’s perfect!
Sometime we have to stop and think carefully before ditching a flavour, but see its peculiarity and where it could go, I always believed that even bad flavours can have its own use and shine.

I regarded Decano as a middling mess: It tries to reflect all and a developed RY but just ends up annoying all.

I removed it from my blending palate after testing.
