This is a juice I have been very excited to try. Being a tobacco juice lover and a former camel smoker I grow immediate excitement when hearing about a turkish tobacco ejuice.

Let me start off by saying this is easily one of the most complex juices I've ever vaped in my life of vaping. I have had this juice for two weeks and have been dripping it every day trying to figure out what it tastes like!

I'm going to attempt to do so while dripping and vaping this as I type this up. Here goes.

When I first tried this juice a couple of days ago I wasn't sure if I liked it, loved it or hated it. It has a very pleasent sweet tobacco scent that seems to sit oddly with a distinct peppery spicy earthy smell. When vaped it is very similar to how it smells. It has a sweet tobacco note that rolls on the tongue while firing the atomizer and that same spiciness in the smell becomes present in the throat hit and then becomes dry and very earthy and a cocoa-ish on the exhale. It is unbelievably similar to the flavor profile of a turkish pipe tobacco or a camel. The spiciness is dirty like in an earthy sense(think the smell of moist woods). I'm a huge nature lover in both a tree hugger way and a flavor of the earth lover way. So someone like myself could very well enjoy this. Don't assume earthy musky masculine spice is the only profile of this juice. It also has a natural sweetness that I believe comes from the hint of cocoa Don uses in this blend. This vape is sophisticated in a cigar aspect as well. But it still isn't a cigar.

As far as throat hit this packs a hulk punch to the throat at 18mg and will satisfy any TH lover. It bares some similarities to a camel wide but with a much more smooth and sweet experience. Upon first vape I was dramatically confused about if I liked this and with every exhale of vapor I like it more...and what? Whats that? I just hit it again and I think I love it.

This juice is a dedicated 70/30 pg/vg and doesn't seem to change a huge amount with steeping(so far).

My final thought is that this juice really impresses me. It's a lot like sushi. It's a weird flavor and it's natural for humans to be iffy about unique and new flavors but once I get to the stage of familiarity with this juice the more I really enjoy it. This juice is very rich and earthy and I think it'd go great with any beverage or after any meal and it'd do great at waking one up in the morning. It's very complex and I advice any tobacco lover to give Casablanca a go.

Thanks for reading everyone. Happy vaping!

Nice review. Casablanca has been my favorite juice going on two years next month. I vape it 80% of the time at least and am at the point it is like my brand of cigarette. I never get tired of it. I try others and keep coming back to it.

I like the way you broke down all the complex flavors. It does change flavors on inhale and exhale like no other.

Happy vaping to you too.

It's truly a unique juice that takes a certain type of vaper to appreciate. It's insane because the flavor is not what I expected at all yet it is delicious and usually if I get suprised by the flavor I hate it(totally wickeds American red tobacco).

Thanks for reading.

Hey Seth, nice review. :D

I agree with you on all the flavor notes. I definitely get a cocoa infused Turkish tobacco with a peppery kick on the tongue. I get a bit of a grassy/hay flavor in addition to the earthy undertones. Casa is certainly a complex juice.

I have noticed that Casa takes a very long time to steep, up to 2 months. I consider Casa properly steeped when it reaches a brick red color.

Red brick color? Interesting. I just got a stock of juices and I'll vape them and put Casa away for a while to see how it turns out. Thanks.
