Sounds like some winners there. Got Some HS Desert Ship headed my way too, and Dark and Black are on my short list.

OK, got my order in yesterday, mixed up 30ml of each at 3.33% and did some tasting yesterday and today. Here's my thoughts:
HS desert ship - Immediately after tasting, I mixed up another 30ml at 5% to use while the rest of these steep. IT'S THAT DAMN GOOD! I can hardly wait to see what some steep time does to this one.
INW black for pipe - It's good! Definitely needs some steep time but I can see getting a bigger bottle. Definitely taste a hint of dark fruit with some cocoa and coffee, I figure after a week or two the tobacco will come out to play more.
INW dark for pipe - Holy rum Batman! Tastes like a good spiced rum with brown sugar in it, I like it! Might not be an ADV for me, but it's good. Once again steep time will do this one good.
TFA mild and black - Not bad. Definitely a black and mild taste to it, but tastes chemically to me. Needs steep time for sure.
TFA absinthe - same as the mild black, needs to steep. It's licorice man! I'll use it stand alone and in some blends I'm working on.
There's my thoughts on the stuff. All in all I'm pleased with my purchase.

a real strong throat hit, hits you in the face, makes you cough. Somehow I liked it that way.

I haven't tried that combo yet but I probably will now that you mention it lol. My latest was adding 3ml of base to about 3ml of Ina Black for Pipe and then 3% (of 6ml) of Rustica. (2% Black and 3% Rustica, final). Changed it quite a bit. I can't say I like it any better, just different and a great change up.I accidentally stumbled across a new flavor combination the other day. I had a tank of INW Gold Ducat going and topped it off with HS Arabic by mistake. It was surprisingly good! I'm going to have to play with that idea a lil bit. The GD was a 5% mix ad the Arabic 3%. The tank was about 10% full when I topped it off. I'm thinking 1% Arabic & 2% GD might be a good place to start. Anybody else ever try it?

Funny how so many take an instant liking to the Hangsen and INW tobaccos. Yep all I can say is "It's that good"
Also funny how so many say the same thing about TFA's chemical taste and hard to get right percentages. I'm just say'in
I've been jonesing for B&M and absinthe tho,
Anyone know where I can find Hangsen's Black Label in stock?
Thanks. I was hoping to be able to mix up my own. I might have to try that Garuda and Gozdziki mix I saw earlier in the thread. I tried Flavorah clove but it's not what I was looking for.This might tide you over until it's back in stock at BCV.
Black Label ~ (DJRum Clove Tobacco) Hangsen e-Liquid
Flavorah clove
Yeah, I found that out the hard way. Until BCV gets Black Label back in stock I'll try Garuda + Gozdziki.Just say no to the FLV Clove! I'll use a nice word like "cloying" to describe that flavor. My bottle went to the landfill.
trying to find some good tobacco flavorings to try

I do love a good absinthe flavored vape myself. The one above is a mix I always come back to, time and again when I'm wanting that sweet bite of anise and licorice.
