There's some speculation that SC flavors are from Xi'an Muren Industry & Trade Co. Ltd, but I'm not sure if that's been verified or not. Anyways, they're excellent flavors imo, and I'd recommend trying them to anyone.I know exactly what you are talking about! I used to get so frustrated when I saw a really tasty recipe that called for a super concentrate flavor. "Who's super concentrated flavor?!" I would shout at myself. Needless to say I felt like I was part of an Abbot & Costello skit when I finally asked!
Like I mentioned in the previous post, I don't know if SC has production issues or if they are discontinuing that particular flavor, so you may want to contact a stock vendor (like vaping Zone) that is willing to reply back, and see if they know any more accurate info on future availability.
Anyhow, I'm glad it was some help!
Bull City has good prices on what SC flavors they carry but I don't see the Menthol Ice listed.
You might also consider Hangsen Kool. Tried unsuccessfully on my wife, and am not a menthol vaper, but smell seems pretty true to the original.
Don't think I reported but FA's SOHO, one of their second gen 'bacco flavors, is quite good to my tastebuds. Reminiscent of HG's #5 with a slightly simpler and cleaner flavor. If you like nutty tobaccos, it's worth a try. Enjoy!
A few very early mini reviews on some FA tobaccos I picked up. None are properly steeped, so bear that in mind.
Soho - 10 percent
It's RY4. It bills itself as dark and nutty, but all I get is RY4. On that level it's not a bad RY4, just not what I had in mind.
Desert Ship 2.25 percent
Nice. Much spicier than Hangsen, less tobacco. Should hang in the rotation. Might even mix the two versions 50/50, see if I get the best of both worlds.
Shade 3 percent
Very nice. Reminds me of a Hangsen-type profile. Dry, sharp, clean. Best of the bunch so far.
Dark Vapure 2.25 percent
I read in a random review that this tastes like green pepper. Didn't give that review much thought. But that's exactly it. It's green pepper. This one goes in the drawer for a month. Hopefully something more emerges.
Yet to try: Tuscan Reserve and Maxx Blend.

I have no doubt that Inawera buys most of their flavors from Flavor Art. I have found several of their flavors to taste exactly the same. Max Blend for example tastes the same as Dark for pipe.
Well if Maxx is close to Dark, I'm very likely to be a fan. Hell, even if it's identical, then I've found a cheaper source. Do you mix yours at the same percentage as Dark?
Gotta get a 30ml bottle freed up to mix that one up.

I do both at 2%. Keeps us posted. I am curious to know if you find them identical as I do.

Ok, you got me curious, so mixed the Maxx @3.33%, same as my Dark. I can say without doubt that this is different, though there are some similarities, mainly in the basic tobacco profile. The top notes and undertones are different. This in some ways reminds me of AM4A. That anise/licorice note is there, though less prominent than in the am4a. And maybe some sort of pitted fruit (fig?). I get none of that deep oak or the molasses back note that are there in dark.
I do like it though. I don't initially get that deep richness of Dark, but it's only a few hours old.

Hmmm... I am going compare them again to see if I tell the difference between them. Maybe my taste buds are shot.
Quite possibly. Anyway I like the flavor profile(s). My only concern is whether we'd be able to get either one after regulations take effect.
As I recall I added a tiny bit of vanilla to Maxx and it was wonderful.
Yeah. I'll be getting a big bottle of Dark before then. Along with a few others. I think that even if nothing changes, we'll be able to get our hands on flavors ... if the companies don't fold, that is....

I mixed the FA Desert Ship down to 2% and it's still "almost" too strong, but I like it.
So.... A flavor I like that is VERY efficient. Can probably mix at like 1.5%... So CHEAP!

If you wain on the FA Desert ship, but still like the offerings of this style tobacco flavor, the FA Storm is a gentle version of this tobacco; not quite as spikey.
.....for me, personally, there was just a bit too much ginger spicy twang to the FA DS, so I was happy they released the FA Storm. YMMV

Yeah the FA Desert Ship could really use a bit more tobacco backbone, to my taste. I'm going to try adding a little Captain Jack for Pipe (a straight, dry tobacco) and a drop or two of Black Fire. I like the spiciness of the FA DS, but there's just not enough tobacco there to keep me interested for long.If you wain on the FA Desert ship, but still like the offerings of this style tobacco flavor, the FA Storm is a gentle version of this tobacco; not quite as spikey.

I'm normally a single flavor guy, don't do a lot of mixing. But in this case, it needs ... something, otherwise I'm afraid it'll be just a change-of-pace type vape.
That'll do it alright! That Capt Jack is nice for adding that dry tobacco flavor. Hangsen Hava tobacco provides that as well; mature and aged seco tobacco leaves, is the best way I can describe that flavor; nice complimentary tobacco when needed.
These made my "taking a screen shot" list - haha. I'll definitely be adding to my collection.
