Help with a tobacco flavour
submitted over 7 years ago by MDarlington101

Hey guys. For the last year I've been making a tobacco liquid for my dad using inawera Kent. Kent is no longer available so I need to find a replacement. Can anyone recommend a concentrate that's the same or similar? Or alternatively one that tastes like Benson and hedges gold cigarettes?

To me, INW Kent tastes like a coffee with a hint of black licorice. Is that what your dad was getting out of it? If that’s what he was getting, i would try something like 1.5% INW Black Jack Tobacco and .5% FLV Connecticut Shade. If that’s not strong enough you could probably go up to 3% with the Black Jack and 1% with the Connecticut Shade. Depends on what his setup is like.

Thanks for the reply. The kit he uses is an aspire zelos with the 1.8ohm coils at around 10w. As for the taste all I get from him is "I like it" he's terrible at explaining the tastes he experiences. I have tried a couple tobaccos on him already and get very little back. I tried Inawera Am4a and Flavor art golden Rollie and he says they taste the same.

He sounds very helpful haha. I just went and mixed up the 1.5% Black Jack and .5% Connecticut Shade. I’m thinking for the setup he is using you could probably do 3% Black Jack and keep the Connecticut at .5%. Connecticut still comes through pretty well on MTL that low, so I’d give that a shot. Maybe 1.5% INW Black for Pipe if you want to get it a little smoky.

Dude, you're a champion. I've learned so much about tobaccos from you. Thanks for being around mate.

Just saw this after I commented. If you want you are more than welcome to ship to me and then I'll ship it to you. Just cover the shipping costs. I can also put whatever you want an the customs sheet and rebottle if necessary.

I've shipped a lot of stuff to other people for similar reasons. (like 100mg/ml nic in a VG container for Europe or just juice to AK and the other states that "banned" online juice purchases)

I may take you up on this offer. I'll wait to hear back from them to see if they will ship to me here. Thank you.

Your dad sounds like one of the guys I mix for. I gave him a bunch of samples of cig-ish tobaccos and out of those he picked FLV Kentucky Blend, 3%, single flavor.

Since then I've made about 3 liters of it for him. I ask if he'd like to try something else and he says "No, this is fine. I'm no connoisseur."

Yeah "I'm no connoisseur" sums up my dad pretty accurately. I'll have to try the Kentucky blend with him and see how he goes.
