Conclusion:
- This is something I'd use in the background of a cigar blend.
- Feels really similar to SC Black Mile so use it the same way.
- As mentioned, there's zero tobacco leaf taste but it does make sense as a support tobacco.
- I'm not wildly impressed by this flavor, but also not incredibly disappointed. It could find it's purpose some day.
Second Opinion with Chem Burns
Been a long time since I've used this one, but I reviewed it a long time ago over at /r/cloudcollective so I'll just copy it here to get it all in the same place.
Should be noted that I wrote this before I really started diving deep in to the tobacco rabbit hole, so I didn't know how much more realistic tobacco flavors were out there.
When I first tasted this flavor on its own, it tasted exactly like a "Turkish" juice at my local B&M. Since they had like 60 flavors, I'm assuming they were all single flavor, and this was most likely what they used for it. I wouldn't exactly say it tastes like chocolate, but it is smooth like chocolate, if that makes sense. I never really used it on its own as an ADV, but it has been the main tobacco note in pretty much all of my ADVs. The thing I really like about the Super Concentrates is that they are really strong. 3 or 4% of this mixed with 5 or 6 other flavors, and it will still stand at the front of the mix. Really good flavor for ry4 type mixes. Plays really well with vanilla and nuts. Every time I'm mixing something new, I'm tempted to grab the trusty Blended Tobacco.
What do you mean when you say "really good flavor for ry4 type mixes"? I know Halo's Tribeca is a tobacco juice that they describe as their version of ry4. Is ry4/ry4 double a 'tobacco flavor' or just a flavor added with other 'tobacco flavors'.
What I meant was that it is a flavor that mixes well with vanilla and caramel flavors. As far as the TFA RY4/RY4 Double, I don't consider them tobacco flavors. I think the caramel part of the flavor gives kind of a burnt sugar taste that some people consider "tobacco," but to people that are really in to tobaccos, it's not really tobacco. To me, a tobacco flavor should have an ashy or leaf kind of flavor to be a tobacco.
Cool thanks for the explanation. So does RY4/RY4 Double taste like carmel/burnt sugar or do you mix RY4 with a carmel flavor? When someone says a flavor like FA Soho or INW S'Camel would be good in an RY4 mix, do they mean you mix FA Soho and RY4 together? Or do you mix FA Soho with another tobacco like Virginia and then combined they are an 'RY4 mix'?
Have you done any tobacco reviews on FA Soho? or INW S'Camel? would be interested to know what you think ofthose, thanks
