My first order from BWB, in early July, included some 24mg Casa. My first impression was not good. It was very peppery and just not my thing. I subsequently tried it over the coming weeks and it never settled to my liking. After continuously reading all of the glowing review I felt like I might have gotten a funky batch or maybe I needed to go with 18mg.
Mid-August I decided to give it another go and ordered 30ml of 18mg. I knew if it still wasn't to my liking I could always trade it. Out of the mail it still had some of the taste from the first batch but clearly different. Over the coming weeks I could tell it was getting better. At the third week, it was perfect. In fact, more than perfect. I could finally understand what everyone is raving about. Nice mild-moderate tobacco base with a smooth cocoa exhale. I can't get enough of it. I'm a dripper and I'm in heaven with my Provari and IKV 1.8 510 at 4.1
Today, I found the 7/20 24mg bottle in the back of my stash and gave it a try to see if 3 months of steeping had helped it. To my dismay, it was not good. It's almost as if it is a different juice altogether. I can tell there is cocoa but the tobacco base has a MUCH stronger and different taste to it.
I wonder if this is simply a function of 18mg vs 24mg. Or is it possibly a bad batch.
