Good move on the %! Yikes! Strong stuff!

At least you’ve got some use for it, which is better than the drain!

Haha yup…most of my misfit flavors wind up in coffee or some other type of food/beverage. The only one I’ve ever tossed was Crispy Bacon.

Yikes, wasn’t it Cap that had that flavour included in a package deal? The sole reason I didn’t go for that was that the bacon was included. That was probably the only way they could get rid of it. It might be a nice addition to some cat or dog food though!

Nice! Now if only I had any of those other flavors. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Some more tobacco flavours from Inawera left to steep for about 10 days.

555 Gold; is a sweet, nutty tobacco vape with a hint of vanilla. I started all of these tobaccos at 3% but this one could be mixed at 5%

Gold & Silver; is another sweet tobacco with plum notes. Could also be mixed at 5%

Tabac; is like it says, a tobacco with ginger and vanilla notes. Supposedly there is cinnamon but I don’t really get that. It’s a clear juice, but the tast conjures up images of a golden-brown liquid. 3% is plenty IMO.

De Luxe; a nice tobacco vape with notes of dark chocolate, vanilla, honey and cocoa. I like this at 3%, might be overpowering at a higher percentage.

Black Jack Tobacco; a tobacco (cigarette) vape with a hint of licorice, comes through well enough at 3%.

Nangka; fruity tobacco vape with caramel and honey, I think I will try this one at 5%

PS Before I forget, Marzipan Yummy Classic. If you want to add a sweet note with marzipan, stick to FA. This one is more of a bitter almond variety. It is nice though, just not for a sweet note.

Very nice!

Those all sound great, esp. the Black Jack. You’re making my ā€œbuy buttonā€ finger very itchy!

That was itching already at the mention of Don Hill for cedar notes. While your at it, don’t forget Inawera Blend, it has cedar notes too and DNB sounds great too. This is a characteristic ā€œashyā€ flavour, quite thick and heavy. Recommended dosage is 1%. Gives tobacco, cigarette - ā€œashyā€ flavour to each aroma." Might just improve lousy cigar flavour!
Just mention it because ordering just 2 flavours is not really worth exercising your finger for. :smiling_imp:

Thanks for the review. I have this one steeping. I started low so I’ll just go and up this a bit.

I have sooooo many flavors sitting in bottles right now that need to be flavor tested and reviewed. This fact is keeping me from doing a lot of buying at the moment. But, the good cigar search just might make me take the plunge on a couple of cedar note tobaccos. It’s so hard not to fall prey to good reviews! However, I will never say, STOP! ; )

I think this flavour can handle a little more, but remember, taste is subjective. I thought I was almost joint at the hip when it comes to taste with @Jimk, until he mentioned Rooibos. I can’t stand Rooibos!

I meant to tell you about my Angus cow poop extractions! I’ll be glad to FedEx a ā€œfreshā€ bottle of it to you! Don’t let the extreme black/brown quality throw you; it’s not a coil gunker, but boy it’s a hearty vape! Kinda grassy though.

Is still ongoing. Tried the INW old havana at 5%. It is supposed to be a cigar flavour with custard notes but I get neither of those. What I do get is perfume. Maybe they’ve attempted to get a cedar note in it but I can say they failed miserably. Hoping the Dun Hill will be good.

Still don’t get any Werther’s Original in the Cherimoya
[/quote]I do get it now it’s been steeping a while longer at 7%. It’s a very subtle aftertaste on the exhale. I think I will put the percentage up a notch and use it as a standalone. It has a lot of nuances on its own and I’m afraid mixing it with other flavours will kinda spoil it.

I’m keeping my fingers crossed and waiting for your review, patiently…

In the search for a good cigar flavor with cedar notes, I have been in contact with a couple of gentlemen in the flavor biz about this topic. No definite yes or no answers yet on them actively adding/producing a quality cigar flavor with the cedar note, but I’m hoping I can persuade them to take action.

So far, the FA Tuscan Reserve Ultimate is my one and only ā€œgo toā€ flavor for that cigar note. It’s an aquired taste, cigar is, but I’m sure there are more folks out there others than the two of us which would love to have more choices.

I’m hoping right along with you.

[/quote]You are forgetting @vonTrueso, that makes three. I think that warrants a whole new line dedicated to cigar flavours, we should start a pressure group.

[/quote] That is a nice flavour, I only wish there were more of them.

Indeed you are correct! Sorry about that @vonTrueso! I’m sure there are a few Aussie vapers that would love a good cigar flavor as well!

Well, I know of at least 1!

[/quote]Thats positive…well, not exactly,. but its not negative. If you could talk em into making just the cedar note we’d be dancin!.. it could be used with other flavors as well…as you would use oak wood or red oak etc. It would be no less versatile.

So, neither of you have tried the Don Hill yet? I’ll have it on my next order, along with the Tuscan, but it might be a while. Budget blown.
