To continue on some German Flavors (GF) reviews. I got a little busy with life and had no time to sit back and enjoy anything new. Well, trying to get back on track with life so gonna review a few I mixed up over a month ago.
Virginia (GF) mixed at 3%. A nice representation of a Virginia tobacco. A little on the sweet side but has some earthy tones which reminds me of a Virginia tobacco. I find it a little boring for long sessions but that happens with single tone blends with me; they don't hold my attention for long periods. Good for a tank to change things up here and there though.
Blended Spice M flavor mixed at 5%. Whoa, this stuff is strong. Might cut it back a bit next time. I say next time because this replicates Latakia in NET form. If you ever tried Latakia, you know what I am talking about. If not, it is difficult to describe. Some say camp fire, others say rubber fire. I find it is somewhere in between. Latakia is not a type of tobacco, it is a tobacco which was cured in a way which gives the flavors; a lot of different spices in there. This one nailed it. I am vaping a tank of Blended Spice M and then going back to a dripper with Apache from Mountain Oak Vapors (heavy Latakia NET) and there's a lot of similarities. Maybe not as good as Apache (one of the better Latakia blends out there) but not far off either. Will warn though, this is one of those flavors people either like or hate. There seems to be little middle ground.
Burley mixed at 3%. This reminds me of Cuban Cigar TA (INW) but with more of a leathery feel. It has some bite at 3% but I have used it as a mixer in some blends I am trying and liking it. Not really getting a burley vibe though.
American Blend Silver mixed at 4%. This reminds me of No. 5 (HS) or Highway (HS) as it has a nutty finish.
When I first tried these, I was trying them fresh or at a week or two weeks. I was not too much of a fan. However, I found not to even try them before a month as they change to something completely different in that time. With that said, after letting them sit for a month, some are not bad. Will revisit a few from earlier and a few others I have not gotten around to yet. By the way, I used the percentages listed on the Vapers Tek site for my mixing. Figured it was a good place to start.
