The NETty awards!

[scarf-ace]

**** VOTING NOW CLOSED. RESULTS IN POST # 421. ****


Presenting... the first-ever NETty Awards!
This is just a fun game, for some of the regular denizens of the NET thread and our honored occasional posters, visitors, lurkers and anyone else who wants to chime in. It isn't "official" or anything like that. Just to see what some of the most beloved and popular NETs out there are. Tongue is firmly in cheek here, it is all smiles and not to be taken to seriously

To begin with, it helps to define what we mean by NET-Naturally Extracted tobacco. It is, as we define it, an e-liquid made with a high proportion of extracted tobacco. It does not mean liquids that get most of their tobacco flavor from tobacco absolute, tobacco extract, or synthetic tobacco flavoring.
As to the categories:

Best Natural Tobacco (overall)
Your favorite NET, period. This encompasses all the other categories.
Best Natural Tobacco (unsweet)
Any NET which, in your opinion, hews to the profile of straight unsweetened tobacco.
Best Natural Tobacco (sweet)
Any NET which, in your opinion, has a distictive sweetness in its flavor.
Best Natural Tobacco (fruity)
Any NET with added fruits.
Best Natural Tobacco (other flavor)
Any NET with flavors not described above (coffee, liquor, nuts, etc.)
Best Cigar
Self-explanatory. Can coincide with other categories.
Best Pipe
Self-explanatory. Can coincide with other categories.
Best Cigarette
Self-explanatory. Can coincide with other categories.
Best Non-NET Tobacco
Just out of curiosity, to see if NETheads like any non-NET tobacco. Can include artificial tobacco flavors, or tobacco absolute/tobacco extract liquids.

I'm not going to get all Gestapo about what belongs in each category, but it must be a NET to be eligible for the NET categories. If you vote for something in the Best Cigar Category and someone else votes for it as Best Pipe, that is cool and both votes will count. You can vote for a juice multiple times... for example, for Best NET, Best Pipe, and Best Fruity. Also, the liquids you vote for must have been available to purchase to a wide range of the vaping public. DIY is not eligible, not even mine which has been sent out to a bunch of you.

Vote by replying to this thread. Voting will be open for the entire month of May and results will be posted shortly thereafter. You may include a BRIEF description of the juice or reason why you chose it next to your choices. Votes will be tabulated by me, using a good old fashioned pencil and paper, or possibly a spreadsheet if I can be bothered.

Have at it and happy voting!

Here's my crack at your list, Scarfy!


Best Natural Tobacco (overall)
Dragons Fire - Heathers Heavenly Vapes
A slightly sweet, slightly spicy NET that is almost an ADV for me at this time. It's very hard to pin down the flavours in this juice, but it has been described as having cocoa, honey or even vanilla notes topped with a bit of spice. To me, it's just pure goodness.

Best Natural Tobacco (unsweet)
Patriot - GoodeJuice
A NET made from Louisiana Perique, Virginia Burley, and Kentucky Cavendish. A very well defined tobacco vape. Clean, dry and flavourful.

Best Natural Tobacco (sweet)
Heavenly Army - Heathers Heavenly Vapes
Chocolate and graham cracker comes through with a beautiful sweet tobacco undertone. Another favourite of mine.

Best Natural Tobacco (fruity)
N/A

Best Natural Tobacco (other flavor)
N/A

Best Cigar
Guevara Reserve - House of Liquid
A dark and strong cigar taste with the most authentic wooden undertones and amazing brandy aftertaste. An amazingly authentic experience..

Best Pipe
Natural Perique - GoodeJuice
This is Naturally Extracted 100% Perique Tobacco from St. James Parish, Louisiana. Woody, fruity, sweet and oh so flavourful.

Best Cigarette
N/A

Best Non-NET Tobacco
Heavenly Tobacco - Heathers Heavenly Vapes
A very nice Non-NET. Nutty, woody, sweet and carries itself well. If I was not so enamoured by the NET's, I'd be vaping this one on my e-pipe for sure. Come to think of it, I am vaping this on my e-pipe right now.


Please let me know if I've mixed up some of the categories in my newbieness.

Best Natural Tobacco (overall)

Sweet Georgia Peach by Ahlusion: *You're the best! Around! Nothing's gonna ever keep you down!*

Best Natural Tobacco (unsweet)

Blue Grass Burley by Ahlusion: My first intense, exteme, pure tobacco experience. This one was head-to-head with Devil Dog, but based on memory until I can vape them side-by-side BGB wins by a hair.

Best Natural Tobacco (sweet)

Pendragon by Mountain Oak Vapors: Love it; mild to medium sweet tobacco with cherry and vanilla notes. Great anytime vape. This was a hard decision with Smooth Criminal from Ahlusion a close second.

Best Natural Tobacco (fruity)

Sweet Georgia Peach by Ahlusion: This was easy, my favorite fruit-bacco by far.

Best Natural Tobacco (other flavor)

PURE "Smoke" by Want2Vape: Spun sugar mixed with a gnarly cigarette type tobacco. Fascinating and delicious to me.

Best Cigar

CI Cigar by Want2Vape: Also fascinating and delicious, and very complex. Made from Drew Estate's ACID Cold Infusion Tea cigar. Multiple unique flavors and easily my favorite cigar vape.

Best Pipe

Patriot by GoodeJuice: Only had a few ml of this, but could quickly tell it was the best pipe tobacco blend I've had. Multi-layered, complex flavor.

Best Cigarette

Wrangler Light by GoodeJuice: Most authentic commercial cigarette vape I've had.

Best Non-NET Tobacco

Smooth & Mild by The Plume Room: Delicious arti-bacco that hits a flavor receptor I didn't know existed until this juice woke it up.

I wish I could give Jerms +2 for the Karate Kid reference.

Every Category: Virgin Vapor Best Damn Tobacco. Period. No Contest.



(NOT!)

 

[Jerms]

Every Category: Virgin Vapor Best Damn Tobacco. Period. No Contest.

Well that's obvious. They couldn't name it Best Damn Tobacco if it wasn't true. Section 3 article 5 of Internet Law.

I saw a picture of the supposed extracted tobacco from Catskill that makes even VV's NET look good. It was green and full of crap.

By the way Luce, you have to add your (for realz) votes too for each category. That's also in the Internet Law.

That settles it. I'm starting a company called Vaping Harlot and releasing Best-er Damn Tobacco, which will be followed by Bestest Damn Tobacco, and eventually Bestest Damnedest Tobacco. The last one will probably be released by a spin-off company called Vaping Man ......

Vote rescinded until you try Huntsman. Hmph.
