Conclusion:
- I might be starting to like this oddly enough. Not sure how to use it yet and I damn sure won't be vaping it as a stand alone.
- This is similar to TFA Cubano in profile, they both have that vegetal taste which to me is a dead ringer for charred green peppers. However, I much prefer this to the Cubano.
- This will be another one that needs finesse to make it useful.
Oh yes, charred green peppers and grass, that's what I get from some tobaccos and I want to puke! Since you are the tobacco guy and your reviews are always on point, could you please write down all the tobacco flavors that come to mind with these notes? I really dig some tobacco flavors and I really hate the grassy ones so it would be helpful to have a "never order" list :)
- TFA Cubano
- FA Latakia
- FA Dark Vapure
- FA Perique Black
Those are the ones I can recall off the top of my head. I've been trying to figure out how to use that note for a while now but it always sticks out to me like a sore thumb. FA Latakia is the best version of charred green pepper that I've come across so far but it's still hard to mix with for my tastes.
