Ahlusion Tobaccos?

[ashechtman]

I like the sound of that. I kind of get the impression that the non aromatics are very light in the tobacco department, is that true? Also my question still stands for anyone else that wants to chime in some input for vurley, maple burley, and cocoa blend would be much appreciated

The only non-aro I've had is SC, and again I would say it's mild compared to the stronger aros but definately not light in tobacco. I'd put it as a perfect medium tobacco impact compared to the other NETs I've had.

I'll probably be made to regret this, but I'll give you my take. Taste is so subjective and ymmv.

The non-aromatics I tried were lightweight tobaccos and quite sweet. I didn't get any cinnamon from Smooth Criminal, I did get something "nutty". If you get Vecchio Blend get it with the strong tobacco option because the light tobacco is basically no tobacco. The vanilla in it is quite good, it tastes like the pure vanilla extract that you get in the little bottles, but it needs more tobacco to round it out.

The aromatics were very vegetative, very strong (and I got the "mild" ones). The tobacco overwhelmed the flavorings that were in them for me. If there had been no labels on the bottles I'm not positive I could have told which was which. I mentioned that Vecchio Blend was vanilla with little tobacco, Vurley is the exact opposite, strong tobacco with just a tiny hint of vanilla.

Bear in mind that, while there are only a few juices in my box that aren't NETs, I'm a bit of a candyass when it comes to strong tobaccos. You mentioned HHV, and using them for perspective, the A+ non-aromatics are in the same ballpark, not that they taste the same, just that they're sweetish, lighter tobaccos. The aromatics on the other hand are a completely different animal.

This isn't really meant to be a review, but more of a broad perspective.

I agree with most of what GT said, except the non-aros and HHV tobaccos I'd categorize mild instead of light. I've had more HHV than Ahl non-aros, but the HHV I've had didn't seem light in tobacco flavor, there's enough there and it's full, but more on the mild side meaning less aggressive. SC was mild, and maybe even light with the tobacco until it aged more and the sweetness diminished. From what I've heard the other non-aros are milder in tobacco than SC.

ashechtman, enjoy the wealth!

The only way to really know if you'll like them is to try them.

If you wait until the 19th the XPress line is available to get smaller bottles and they're already steeped for instant vapage. You sacrifice pg/vg ratio options and personal customizations though if that's important to ya. No aros in the XPress line, but they are ready to vape right away anyways.

Yeah, I can't imagine how much stock they had to make and subsequently steep to keep up with the deluge of orders soon to come.

If Mann had never tried Ahlusion he would be rushing to order some of their aromatics based on my description above.

I just read that Wlad commented that he removed all the "house blends" because he "simply cannot stand them anymore" lol. Never got to try those tobaccos, are they that mediocre?

Promise? I've been waiting since September.

I'm vaping John Galt blend as we speak. It's a non-aromatic, mild, somewhat sweet-ish, well-blended tobacco, with coffee overtones and something peppery on the exhale. I like it--and I generally dislike tobaccos.

That's what they posted in the stories, along with a new menu coming out and that things are in order so they can ship faster again and be open more.

Wonder if the JG Blend is considered a member of the House Blends category? That would be a shame to lose, seems like a lot of people like that one.

Thanks, Jerms. Fingers crossed.

Kinda. Well, they were like really watered down versions of the aros. But, I used use them to modulate my gruff throughout the day. For instance, early morning TINOs (tobacco in name only, haha) seem to work best and throughout the day I would progressively add more and more aros to, say, Cherry House Blend with Smokin' Cherries and before you know it, my atty was hitting like those Transitions eyeglasses--sun is up, shade is on; sun is down, I want it straight no shader.

I would just die without my Cherry HB.

Hmmmm... Really? I can't decide between Apple and Cherry. What do you guys think?

I like watered down--I love plain Boba!

When it comes to pie, apple or cherry.. easy give me cherry. When it comes to tobacco.. I can't decide either lol, I love both. I may have to pick up some Apple HB before the House Blends are removed from the menu since it's their only apple-bacco for now, except for Apple River Tree blend which I'm not interested in. There's got to be an apple aro floating somewhere in the back of Wlad's mind I hope.

Jerms, have you ever tried BWB apple tobacco? I wonder if Ahlusion's version is even remotely similar to that flavor. It's called Applewood and it has a bit smokey character. I guess I would like to know if Ahlusion's version is more of an applewood than apple, if you know what I mean.

I haven't had the BWB Applewood but I know what you mean. I would assume that any tobacco juice with apple in the name is going for apple instead of applewood, unless stated.

From what I think I know about real tobacco, applewood can be used during the curing process to create a smokyness, but if you do a google on applewood tobacco you'll only see it as an eliquid flavor. No idea if curing with applewood actually creates apple notes in a smokable tobacco. Apple is used, often in the the form of apple juice or cider, to make a casing for apple Cavendish.

Ever use a word so much in a post (apple) that the spelling looks wrong even if you know it's right? Lol.
