What easily available tobacco flavors were around in 2013?

submitted almost 9 years ago by user-unkn0wn

I'm trying to clone a local house juice. The description is menthol, peppermint, and bold tobacco. I'm curious if anyone knows what tobacco flavors were in 2013 when the shop opened. Since it's a house juice I'm going to assume that it is either TFA or capella. But I can't remember if capella had tobacco flavors that far back.

just about every 555 was in existence

I have tfa 555 for your clone so I know it's not that. But that's the only one.

Well, Tobacco Absolute was out too, but it's now discontinued. Also I never used that, I used DK base

I looked back thru my pm to you. Wizard labs named the DK base DK 555 and I asked you if it was the same thing. Now that I think about it I have the DK base not the 555.

Is this the tobacco absolute? https://shop.perfumersapprentice.com/p-6609-tobacco-absolute-5-in-alcohol-fragrance.aspx

You might come up with something you like even more, if you get some highly rated tobacco concentrates, menthol and peppermint and do some trial and error mixing.

Just to toss in another possibility which may or may not be applicable based on who was doing the mixing: It could have been something like a pre-made Dekang "touched up" with menthol and peppermint.

First thing that comes to mind would be CAP Bold Tobacco. But don't know when it was available, sorry.

I feel like that's one of the more recent additions. Edit: looks like end of 2014. https://www.reddit.com/r/DIY_eJuice/comments/2gypen/anyone_trying_any_of_the_new_capella_tobacco/?st=IUBFR16Z&sh=9aea108d

I think I started mixing around 2012 (maybe 2011). Back then it was pretty much just tpa and fa for tobaccos.

Hangsen and the Chinese super concentrates started showing up around 2013, I think. I thought that cap was more recent.

It's probably Flavor West - maybe Inport. Or one of their other tobaccos mixed with Extreme Ice

FW Coumarin Pipe was in heavy rotation around that time.

Is the store still in business? If the flavor is discontinued you might try emailing them. Explain you were a loyal customer since day one and dying for that nostalgic peppermint tobaccy. It's a long shot but if you finesse them could work.

Nope. They are still in business. Expanded from one store to four.

I've thought about flat out asking if I could buy the recipe. Doubt they ever would but I wouldn't even know where to start price wise.

If the recipe is no longer being sold you have a chance. If it's still in their line of juices then there's pretty much no chance.

Yea. That's what I figured.

TFA had Mild Black back then, I think.

Something to keep in mind, there's a possibility they could be obtaining their flavorings from a B2B company, not a consumer sale type.

Its safe to assume most B&M's don't go this far as the time investment per return isn't worth their time, simply something to consider.
