Setup
Aeronuat RDA, single fused clapton, 40w
Prep
80/20 VG/PG
Nic 0%
1%, 2%, 3%
Mouth Feel
A nice full body vape. No throat hit.
Flavor Properties
Nice herbal, dried tobacco. Somewhat woody with a hint of cedar. There's not too much to say. It's a perfect replication.
Relatable Flavors
It tastes exactly like the smell of walking into a nice cigar store.
Off Flavors
If you get a dry hit, it actually starts to taste 'ashy', like you're smoking a cigar.
Position In The Recipe
An excellent base. Also an amazing single flavor mix.
Pairings
Fruit and cream. It makes an excellent dessert tobacco. You will primarily want to use flavors that will take a backseat to the excellence that is this flavor. I prefer things like INW Marzipan, FLV Milk and Honey, FA Pistachio.
Suggested Steep Time
None! An awesome shake and vape. The flavor actually starts to die off around 2 weeks.

i loved this stuff when I first got it but the flavour fade after 2 weeks is just too pronounced if using it as anything more than an accent in the mix. I think it's really a major fault with this concentrate. You get all the big intensity in the first 2 weeks and then you're left with the slightly musty and bitter disappointment of an old bar-room.
fussy old timer who wants his tobaccos to improve over a long steep not fade out fast. Sticking with my FAs and INWs.
I actually see this as a benefit, somewhat. I fold it in with other tobaccos that take more time (for instance FA Desert Ship, love that stuff but it takes a little while to get great), this way the same mix can be nearly instantly vapable and still get more complex as it cures. Now, if I'm making something that'll sit on the shelf for a month before I touch it there's no need, but sometimes I don't plan ahead that well.
yeah if you could make use of the fade it has in a blend that would help. I'm a big fan of FA Desert Ship too, you might have given me some ideas there.
The disappointment for me came from the first recipes of other peoples that I tried where it's the up-front flavour e.g. Colorado Cat, Applebacco Karma. Those are great early on, I ADV'd a ton of both of those but leave them a month or more and the tobacco has faded out to weird musty backnote, it's turned into a different juice and not in a good way.
For all of the love FLV Cured gets (from me at times too) it's a tricky bastard of a tobacco I think, not an easy one to mix well.
Damn I gotta just get this shit finally. I'm a tobacco fan for sure.
So wait, it didn't change much through those different percentages?
No real changes in flavor at different percentages, just intensity.
Have you tested it at different ratios? For example, I love the classic TFA RY4D, and I tend to mix at 70/30 vg/pg across the board, but I read somewhere that it, and most tobaccos, have different flavor notes at higher PG levels. So I tried it with RY4D (at 50/50). It definitely changed considerably. The deep tobacco notes became more noticeable in a less 'desserty' way. The maple and vanilla tones were turned down a lot more and it became much more of a tobacco flavor than a dessert flavor with tobacco undertones.
Anyway, just curious. I'm friggin buying this stuff this weekend. This final review sealed the deal. Thanks.
Ah, I see what you're asking now.
This makes total sense. VG is a flavor volatile that adds a sweetness to juices. So increasing the PG, which is very bitter, would definitely make the tobacco more bold.
No, I have not tried it though. I don't like high PG juices since I exclusesively drip
Thanks for the review, this sounds amazing. I just ordered some of this and some INW shisha vanilla to make your Sweet Leaf recipe.
