OK, so a few more thoughts on some of my new-to-me flavors.

I finally tried both Contrary Cherry and Sweet Cherry Something. I'm discussing them together, because frankly, they are hard to tell apart. Meh on both. I love real cherries and hate cherry flavoring. These don't taste like cherry flavoring, so I don't HATE them, but, as others have said, they are both pretty light on the cherry. Which DOES taste more like real cherries than cherry candy. They both have that going for them, but unfortunately they don't have too much else going for them. They're both about a month old, and they aren't bad, but I don't think I'd reorder either one, unless something amazing happens with a longer steep.

Caramel Pear White Tea-- If, like me, you like the idea of caramel pear tea, but find the black tea too earthy, you will love this! It's sweet, fruity, caramel-y, and clean. I didn't really care for the CP Black Tea until it had steeped for a full year, but this I liked right away! It does lack a bit of the depth of the CP Black Tea, and I turned around and ordered some of that to mix in with it, but if I had to choose one, it would be the White Tea. It's really, really good!

Raspberry Mojito-- I like Ahlusion's raspberry flavor. The Raspberry Cream is fantastic. But I think maybe I don't like their mint or lime flavors. This one just doesn't quite do it for me. Maybe I will like it better after a longer steep, and when the weather warms up. I did order bottles for my aunt and step daughter, though, because I think they will like it a lot. I can see how people who do like the mint and lime flavors would like it, but at this point, it's just not for me.

Apple-Berry Splash-- This was a real surprise to me. It is just such bright, juicy, REAL-tasting fruit. I think recently someone said it tastes just like a real fruit punch, and I couldn't agree more. I teach first grade, so I'm an expert on juice boxes. This tastes just like a Minute Maid 100% juice Fruit Punch juice box. And to me, that's a good thing!

More later!

I will possibly leave any new juices to the brave like you Lisa..Sticking with what I know is good from now on. I have developed a liking to way too many juices from other places. Really worried my wallet won't survive it. ;)

Great looking equipment for sure :thumb::thumb:
Thanks for the great review LisaR. You have me thinking I should crack open my very long steeped TTA. I didn't like it that much FOOB or a few weeks in. It smells nice and mellow now. Will give it a whirl.

Meanwhile, got the new Kraken for the 'vela, and I'm vaping Caramel Wild Wood in it. First time I've had CWW in a genny, and a really good genny - my favorite atty. CWW tastes amazing in it. Richer, more immediate flavor. I didn't try original SC in it, as planned, but I will later.

It that a sisal cat scratcher you've got that 'vela on? It sure looks like the one in my living room. ;)

Let me save you the steep time on Sweet Cherry Something... it doesn't get better with age. At least for me it didn't. I had a bottle that was probably 8 months steeped that I revisited again last week and it hadn't improved. YMMV.

Thanks for the heads up on that. I definitely won't be buying it again, but I will probably vape it up, or at least give it to someone who will.

Godfather estimated delivery for me is tomorrow. I will try to report back if it's the original SC.

I'm vaping some new SC right now and I get hints of the old stuff, just doesn't do it for me. It did get better with a bit of a steep. Would love to hear the old flavor is back.

I took advantage of the sale yesterday. I've been ordering a lot of flavors I wouldn't normally get. Being a tobacco flavor guy, I really didn't think I would like my sample of Autumn Mist. Boy, was I wrong, it's awesome! I have Caramel Pear Black Tea on the way and decided to try Strawberry Banana Cream as well. Add in Tiramasu and Light French Roast, I'm going way out of my comfort zone.

Last night I tanked up some Smooth Criminal I got in June. It's a rich, golden brown color which is a stark contrast to my new yellow colored Smooth Criminal. While the two hold slight similarities they are vastly different. I have an older bottle of Desperado and to be quite honest, the new Smooth Criminal is closer to that in flavor profile.

Don't get me wrong, I like Desperado.... I admit though, there's nothing like a well steeped bottle of SC.

My shopper status remain anonymous. I figure it won't change because they don't know who I am. What my name is?

And if it is, you'll be in heaven come April! :laugh: J/K

Was thinking the same thing Mann... How do you even sample the stuff before the 90 day mark?

I like Apple Berry Splash too. It is just really juicy.
