Specs:

• percentage used: 3%
• 18 day steep
• PG/VG ratio: 50/50
• vaped on NarDA rda, A1 Kanthal, 24 gauge, spaced coil, 0.74 ohm, 12-18 watts

 

Flavor Properties:

• bright
• light
• citrus-y
• slightly sweet
• medium dryness

 

Relatable Flavors:

• mostly citrus notes (like a ripe tangerine but don't get confused, this is not an "orange" flavor, very much still a tobacco)
• anise on the tail end of the exhale (not a candied black liquorice type, more like Sambuca)
• grassy Virginia tobacco in the base notes, not strong but ever present

 

Mouth Feel:

• light density

 

Off Flavors:

• none

 

Position In A Recipe:

• personally, I would use this low in the mix to brighten up a leafy base
• most common application would probably be as a top dressing in pipe tobacco blends

 

Suggested Percentage:

• 1-2% for background
• if you want this in the front, 3-6%

 

Pairings:

• dark tobaccos like FLV Red Burley, INW Dark For Pipe, etc
• would pair well with FLV Native Tobacco or Kentucky if you want to strengthen the spicy notes in those two

 

Conclusion:

• This is an aromatic pipe tobacco flavoring. Aromatic tobaccos have what's called "toppings" such as cherry, vanilla, citrus, etc.
• Use this accordingly to make a medium bodied pipe blend.
• Not much more to say, if this was a main note in a mix, I would enjoy puffing it for a few hours a day but it's not an adv ingredient for me. However, mixed at very low % in a leafy blend, this could add a bit of character and give some interesting personality to the recipe. I'll definitely be toying with this one.
