So I have been after 9 months of vaping sweeter and fruity flavors been moving back toward the tobacco flavors. Naturally ive heard a lot about Backwood's Brew , who hasn't but are they still the vendor to go to? Or is their a new kid on the block? I have tried Indigo and no offense to anyone but their base, to me, needs work. I get a flavor I cant explain but can tell its in all of them. Not being rude just trying to give some advice to what id like. Please recommend places with good throat hit and flavor vapor is not my main concern. I liked liquid express honey flue and I always have boba's but have been gun shy on other tobacco vendors after wasting decent amount in wrong places. Thanks for the advice

BWB is my favorite vendor... and I like lighter flavoring... great juice, great performing... but they do tend to flavor on the lighter side... and that's great for people like me...

Now... Casablanca is NOT lighter on flavor... if you like the desert ship/turkish blend... casa is nice... spicy and smooth... and steeping is a must for most people. It's an acquired taste, but very popular nonetheless.

Their coffees are stronger in flavor and their fruits are realistic...

BWB's tobacco juices are interesting... none are very dark in my experience... if you like nets, I'd say try adirondack... and bacco is a great absolute... if you like those...


If you want a sweeter, more artificial tasting tobacco, innevape has some great ones in their TNT line... I don't believe they are totally artificial, but the taste is wonderful...

I also like goodejuice and Halo for tobaccos.

You want strong tobacco flavors, try highbrow, HHV, plume room or... try the casa

at any rate, bwb is still incredibly popular... they still have to shut their doors once in a while when capacity is reached...

...but read the bwb threads... see if people's descriptions match your tastes.

I will no longer do business with BWB due to their policy of not posting bad reviews on their juices. I got a bunch of juices that either had terrible taste or Next to No taste from them and will no longer spend my hard earned money at BWB. Their Casablanca is a good juice, but that is the best thing I can say about them at this juncture.
I would highly recommend Parkes Vapor as they have an incredible range of tobacco flavors to choose from and they sell sample packs as well. Good Luck.

I vape BWB exclusively. Its bin about 2.5 years since i found backwoods and its the only thing i have used since. I use menthol tobacco medium. I have also tried most of there other tobacco flavors and they are all delicious. It defiantly a lighter flavor then a lot of juice, but that's what i like. Alot of other tobacco juices are to sweet and taste like syrup to me. I would highly recommend trying this vendor.

Great write up thx... The liquids I was curious about were the honey flue and applewood. I did enjoy the liquid express honey flue but was curious if its the same juice or Don's take on xpresses flavoring

it's the same juice... both are two of my favs... and as much as I tend to snicker at steepers ;-) these two flavors benefit significantly from steeping... if you like both of those juices, then you are a prime candidate for any BWB flavor.

little know fact... while vaping applewood in the dark, I accidently added some of my GF's watermelon to my atty... It was so good... I wrote Don and with some tweaking on his end, melonbacco was born!

That reminds me... I better order some melonbacco... it's good... it's a tart sweetness mixed with an edgy tobacco.

*another thought... understand that the predominant flavor is the tobacco and the flavorings are more subtle...

some vendors make fruit+tobacco vapes where you taste the fruit and barely taste the tobacco. With BWB, you taste the tobacco and you notice the fruit.

those of you who missed BWB RY4 have no idea. Don wasn't consistent, and the stuff more often than not varied from batch to batch, but I don't see anyone, ever, making an RY4 that is as good as Don's was when it was on. Truly amazing juice.

I managed to get two bottles over a few months period. It would sell out in just a few minutes when he offered. It ruined me for any other RY4's I tried and I tried at least a dozen.

I was going to post the same thing! I made one purchase with BWB, first and last for me. I ordered their Orange Julius. I love those! Was excited to try it. What I got was baby aspirin. And yes, I let it steep for weeks, no change at all. I left them a bad review. Strangely enough, it never made it to the website. A few good reviews did though I noticed. Glad others noticed this policy also.
