Revenge is sweet!
Honestly though if you like the creamy caramel taste this one is very good indeed. I quite often get a nasty burnt sort of taste from toffees and caramels but this one luckily has nothing like that at all.

Actually thinking about it if my memory serves I believe @muth once talked about trying to find a caramel as I describe.
If so I’d imagine this one would fit the bill.

Well I’m testing the Caramel Biscuit right now, and WOW. This will be hard to move on from, so I’m thinking the Milky Caramel Fudge, might just HAVE to come to me now.

Yeah the nectarine overwhelms other flavors easily. I tried at 0.3 with Cap sweet guava 4 and it took over; going to try again at 0.1 since it does give the guava a nice bend flavor wise.

Caramel Biscuit (SSA) 1% (10-30-21) – Damn you Sobucky, … Damn you to hell !!! OK, hehe, let’s go with my FIRST thoughts on this one. “Damn, this is a One-Shot”. Having not tested Sobucky’s Biscuit yet (it’s coming), and only tried their Shortbreat (excellent), I had high hopes for this one. Well, they didn’t let me down. Absolutely delicious. Completely blown away by how much presence, flavor, and mouthfeel they got out of this one, AND, at 1%. The biscuit and caramel were just perfectly paired, with maybe it being split 55% Caramel, 45% Biscuit. The way they paired them, left both of the two elements free to swirl around and peek out more or less than the other one, as neither dominated, nor got lost. As far AS the Biscuit, I couldn’t really think of a direct comparison to it, which was interesting. The Caramel was almost too good, with an almost buttery rich texture, without being overtly buttery. Sweetness was a few ticks above mid level for you “is that too sweet-ers” out there, but even at that, it wasn’t sickening, or fatiguing. At times I almost got a small shot of toast much like Solub Arome’s Breakfast, but nowhere near as strong. I’ll know more when I get to Sobucky’s Shortbread Biscuit to see if that is still present. As it stood, it was shockingly good, and full at the low weight of 1%. For you US’ers, it’s not a “Bisquik” biscuit, and for you UK’ers, it’s like YOUR kind of biscuit, which is more of a cookie. Dry enough to keep it’s biscuit on, but not too dry. If you like a European Biscuit, and love it with a Creamy Caramel with an almost buttery richness, this one SHOULD be on your list. I actually double checked myself throughout the test, LOOKING for anything I could nitpick, and I couldn’t. Too damned tasty, for even a minor markdown. If you hate this, you’ll HAVE to let me know, as to my tastes, squarely a 10/10.

I’ve been using the Milky Caramel Fudge and I like it but it’s not “the one”. But for caramels there is never “the one” for me. Still looking.

The milky caramel fudge isn’t a stand alone for me but has an outstanding texture and brings that special something to any mix. Think I only sft at 1.5 but generally use at 1 to compliment literally anything I throw it at. Been working on a floral scented caramel with it.

Cinnamon Apple Pie (SSA) 1.25% (10-30-31) – Who doesn’t love more pie ?? I love the pies, and couldn’t wait to get into this one. In the bottle this smelled more like almost a tart green apple, and when testing it, some of that faded, but it really felt like it was missing the “baked” aspect. There was some “filling” element in there, which kept it interesting, some very light crust, and a hint of spice. The more I tried, the less cinnamon I could detect, which left it a bit lacking, as well as the light crust element. Not a bad vape, but it just didn’t seem to really drive it home. Almost mid level sweet, and no off notes could be found. Overall the mouthfeel was very good, and it was smooth, but the all but missing cinnamon, lacking crust, and some missing “baked apple”-ness kept it from being stellar. Felt fairly placed at 6.9/10.

Cola (SSA) 1% (10-31-21) – Wow, whatta Cola Sobucky has done here. Just outstanding, and then some. After having spent quite a bit of time with this one, I think it’s safe to say it’s the BEST Cola I have ever tried. It’s not that the other colas are terrible, but when you try most of them, you often times find yourself saying, “Yeah, that’s kinda close, but …”. Well with this one, you won’t. To my tastes, it is like a pairing of Pepsi, and RC Cola, at about a 60% Pepsi, 40% RC Cola. I didn’t really get any Coke from this one. Probably one of the most amazing things, is somehow Sobucky figured out how to get FIZZ in the Cola. Don’t know how they did it, and most, if not all others, seem to fall flat (literally). Well combining the fizz with an accurate Cola, just leaves you wanting nothing. Both myself and @Psycho_316 have been playing around with some …
Cherry Colas

… with great success. Sweetness was a little above mid level, and it was very present at 1%, but I’ve seen even higher usage rates. The fizz was slightly stronger off the shake, but was still present after steeping. If you want a fizzy cola, that’s accurate, this is the one. 10/10.

Classic Oat Flakes (SSA) 1% (10-31-21) – “These are not the oats you are looking for”. Yeah, but not every one can be a winner, right ? I’ve had corn flakes, and oatmeal, but never Oat Flakes. This one I would call “Barley a HINT of Oats”. I looked long and hard FOR the Oats, and every once in a while I got just a whiff, but other than that, this was kind of a non-descript hodge podge of sorts, with the added bonus of every so often getting an almost medicinal off note. On the bright side, it was fairly smooth, nicely sweet, and had a hint of creamy-ness to it, but beyond that, I just didn’t get any grains, oats, or flakes. The good news is, that the not so great ones, make you appreciate the great ones that much more.
If you REALLY want Oats
With that said, will have to leave this one at a paltry 2.9.10.

Cranberry Jam (SSA) 1% (10-31-21) – Having seldom tried anything Cranberry, I wasn’t sure what to expect from this one. Out of the gate it was unmistakably Cranberry, but shifted to the somewhat sweeter jammy side. @ 1% it was full flavored, but somehow still felt fairly restrained. The tart and sourness were present, but fairly reduced from a full Cranberry, possibly because of the Jam aspect. Throughout the test, the dark berried notes continued with a somewhat tart, jammy finish. Overall it was a convincingly natural taste with nothing off-putting. It’s relaxed nature could be supplemented by another Cranberry or berries. Possibly increasing above 1% might help some. About the only take offs would be for the somewhat relaxed nature of it, with no other oddities. Overall, a convincing natural tasting Cranberry, that was jammed up enough that some of the expected tartness/sourness was not present. Decently placed at 8.8/10.

Dark Blackberry (SSA) 0.5% (10-31-21) – WHEW, this one got away from me in a HURRY. When smelling these prior to testing I could tell this one was going to get squirrely, and decided to mix it @ 0.5%, and even at that rate, I was getting an almost lavender soap ?? !!! Rinsed, flushed, diluted to 0.25%, and about the same effect. Sorry guys, I was looking for a dark, tart blackberry, but instead I was greeted with a lovely shade of Lavender Soap. If you DID wish to attempt to use this one, you may have to go even lower than 0.25%, but at my final reduction, it did not feel over flavored, or ceiling smashing. You were forewarned. Sadly, this one will ride the 1/10.

Fruit Hard Candy (SSA) 1% (11-1-21) – Well this one turned out to be a surprise. I had expected more of just a hard candy flavor, but it also had a brighter, somewhat citrus, nondescript fruit medley going on. Nondescript didn’t mean bad, it just meant that defied an exact description. Sometimes citrusy, other times more fruity, but it leaned towards the brighter side, but always had a nice, smooth fruity base. Hard to nail down, but needless to say, don’t think I have a flavor exactly like this, and I have a lot of flavors. The hard candy portion did keep peeking out, and was smartly paired with the fruits. At 1% it was very good, with sweetness a tick above mid level, as expected for a candy, but not fatiguing. Thankfully, unlike the previous Dark Blackberry, this one was full steam ahead in deliciousness, and had nothing off putting. Sobucky advertised the flavor as …
and that was pretty close, with some high end punchy, almost citrus notes tossed in. Nicely done, refreshing, and pretty good on it’s own. Felt solid at 9/10.
