Don never fails to mystify me... I was speaking with him on the phone and describing what my "Dream vape" would be... and he interrupted me and said... "hey, I put a little sample of something in your last package for you to try... please give me feedback etc..."

...and when my package arrived, there was a small bottle of his Casablanca.

I have vaped about 20mls of it so far. 18mg.

It's a rich Turkish tobacco... much like the flavor that you get from the "camel" flavored vapes, but it's neither peppery or flowery tasting... it's a little dry and exotic, but not overpowering in any way because Don smoothed it out with the slightest touch of cocoa/chocolate and ??? He knows I am too much of a tease and a bigmouth to disclose too much to.

The end result is another original and amazing tobacco hybrid like his Applewood...

Don uses a different tobacco base... nothing like the one for maxboro or hunters blend or ry4.

This is his cleanest, driest tobacco vape. There is a hint of something old and familiar in it, but I can't nail it.

Overall, the vape is just a tad sweet.
Not where you really taste it, but where you want to keep coming back for more.

An all day Vape.

I honestly think it may ultimately take his RY4 over as my new favorite vape...

It's a luxurious liquid. Easy on your body, lots of vapor and a satisfying throat hit.

I's on the website now... but of course, his merchant account is being screwy with him... so keep checking for when it's fixed.

I'm waiting to try Casablanca and a few others. I actually had items in my cart and the site went down before I could finalize. Casablanca is top on my list to try along with Malty Toffee, RY4, Espresso, Maple Tobacco, and possibly Caramel Cappuccino. Hope the site is up soon!

My Maple Tobacco needed time in the cupboard. I gave it a week and tried it again last night, and I still feel that way. I am giving it another week in the cupboard and revisiting it. Same goes for the Honey Flue Nut. Nothing wrong with either of them, the flavors just don't "pop", and I think they need a little time to come together. The RY4 is delicious already and I don't think our bottle is going to be with us very long.

Well, I wasn't sure about ordering the Maple Tobacco or Carmel Cappuccino. The other 4 (Casablanca, Malty Toffee, Espresso, and RY4) are on my must order at 30 ml bottles list. That's from all the reviews. Am I on the right track with these must haves? And what does the BWB crew think of the Maple Tobacco and Caramel Cappuccino considering what I already plan on ordering?

I'm basically looking for 2 tobacco staples and a good creamed coffee. From the reviews I think the RY4 and the Casablanca might fit my bill. And the Espresso sounds like it would best meet my coffee requirements. The Malty Toffee was reviewed as tasting like Ovaltine so yeah if this is true another must have.

I think you are on the right track - though plain old Malty sounds right up your ally also.

I've been wondering about this one since seeing it on the site about a week ago. My tastes seem to run similar to LT's as far as tobacco flavors so I'll give it a go. I love the Hunter's Blend (- menthol), RY4, and Maxboro. How's the Virginia?

I love Don's Virginia. I'm a hardcore BWB gal and have a variety of flavors to graze in but Virginia and peach are my primary vapes. Virginia totally satisfies my urge for an analog and peach has become like a whole new addiction. lol Virginia is a mild smooth tobacco flavor with a subtle sweetness. It's also a very versatile vape which can be mixed with any and every flavor without a clash. I'm a dripper and when I want to go from one flavor to another (which is several times a day because I love so many of the BWB goodies) I drip a few drops of Virginia or Malty and then take on a whole new flavor without blowing or dry burning my atty. As much as I love all of my BWB flavors, sometimes I have to set one aside for a day or so, much like I wouldn't eat a certain food every single day, but I never grow tired of Virginia. When I smoked, I had my favorite brand, Virginia Slims, until they got too expensive and I changed to Misty Lights. I had to have MY brand because nothing else quite satisfied. That's how I am about Virginia.

I love Casablanca. I knew my favorite (until they got to $60/carton) analogs Capris had cocoa in them. Since then I found out other analogs I loved in the past had cocoa in them (like Marlboro). So I was actually looking for a tobacco that said it had cocoa in it. Casablanca was the reason I first bought from BWB. I love it. I find it satisfying and comforting. I recommend it!

    The Expresso is wonderful.
