Backwoods Brew CASABLANCA

[Marcutio311]

yeah I hear ya, and I have let them sit for two weeks and if I dont like the main flavor then, then im not going to like it lol. But I found my calling. The casablanca after sitting for two weeks is my favorite flav, and all day vape. And the vanilla was spot on like true vanilla taste, but I guess I end up liking the artificial taste more. Alot of flavors will taste just like the real thing which is awesome but when you think you would like them, cause you like that food or whatever in life, then you get it to vape it can just be different sometimes and you dont wanna vape it alot. Makes for alot of money spent finding the right flavor. At 150 spent from three great companies this last two weeks, to only find one great one to me, but luckily I got that.

 

[Marcutio311]

Anyone here use tanks instead of cartos?

 

[Marcutio311]

oh hey to bill, yeah I was excited for some juices coming in, but mainly because (my morgue) was filling up lol. And the one I was really hoping for greatness was the casablanca and it was great. Only selling a few, that I didnt know about just randomly picked lol. Your right though man, I thought it would be easy to find flavors I liked when I started, since they all sound so yummy, but when you get em its another story. Vaping a flavor you love and eating one you love is so far an between its crazy. But hey you spend a few hundred to find your few good flavors then at least you know what you love, and your not dying from analogs in the process.

Marcutio,

Cool. Glad you found one you love. I think Casablanca's pretty great myself.

I've pretty much accepted the reality in the juice marketplace to be that if I find one juice I like out of five I buy, that's a decent average. In fairness, I have in my stash at least 50 juices I love or at least like a whole lot. Then I have another 100-or-so that are fine but not great, and finally 400 more that I simply won't vape (except to revisit them once every six months and instantly re-confirm why I didn't like them in the first place.

Now, if I could only stop being seduced by sales and those yummy-looking pictures and descriptions...

Great writeup lasttango! So is it just me or does anyone else note a hint of peanut with this juice? By the way,this is an AMAZING juice everyone,the only one that got me to put down menthol,it's THAT good

I received some BWB juices a couple of days ago. (First time ordering from them.) So far I've tried Casablanca and Bacco. They're both delicious!

Quick question though: I taste peanuts in the Casablanca, especially after I exhale. Anyone else get that, or am I crazy? I've read its supposed to taste like cocoa, and Camels. So far I'm not really getting either of those, although it has not steeped at all yet. Either way, glad I found this great company, and I still have 2 more juices to try: Malty and Smoke.

I think that might be part of the cocoa BEAN flavor. I find Casa is as good fresh as it is steeped, but the flavor does change significantly. Once the juice is a deep red, it is fully steeped.

Bacco is a nice straight up tobacco.

Malty needs to steep, but I get a state fair cotton candy taste.

Smoke is really interesting. Bacco base with top notes of hickory and/or mesquite and a light sweetness. Fresh out of the mailbox, this tasted very similar to smoked bacon, but that was probably because the tobacco had not matured yet.

The flavors of Casa will become more homogenous, yet more complex after the weeks go by. That seems odd to be complex and homogenous, but my point is, the juice will be the sum of its parts, as opposed to certain elements overpowering.

p.s. I don't taste peanut, but Casa is a tricky juice to describe, and you will be hard pressed to find two people that will totally agree on the experience.

 

[Carto-Miser]

Thanks for the feedback! I didn't know that e-juices will change color as they steep. Right now the Casablanca is a yellowish amber color.

I'm going to let the Malty and Smoke steep for awhile, especially as I need to conserve cartos at the moment. In your experience, is simply shaking up the bottles and placing them in the closet good enough, or do you remove the tops, shake the bottles daily, etc?

I give the bottle a few squeezes to switch the air out. After squeezing the bottle, I vigorously shake the fresh air into the juice until I get little bubbles suspended in the juice. I do it once or twice in the first week of steeping. It's just enough to let the juice breathe, similar to what you would do with wine by opening the bottle ahead of time or decanting it. Quite a few people recommend uncapping the bottles and letting them sit open for a day or two.

Just got my Casa on Saturday. Recommended by a friend. I ordered the 12mg (stepping back up form 8mg on another brand). I HIGHLY RECOMEND!. By far one of the best juices I have tried thus far and is def. my new all day vape.

 

[the_vape_nerd]

shanagan, this is really good stuff, for 16.50 or whatever he charges for 30ml, it's worth every penny

 

[imaqt]

I really want to like this juice. It has been steeping for several weeks and all I taste is jalapeño!
My senses are really pretty keen to taste.

Anybody else taste it too?

 

[aliens]

I taste it too

 

[aliens]

I don't understand where this different of taste might come. Some people are talking about cocoa flavors, I only feel jalapeno myself (and it sucks since I love BWB).

 

[Crack3dOne]

For me it was excellent right out of the bottle and its only getting better. And most def. not a trace of jalapeno. At first it's a mellow tobacco taste that reminds me of toasted nuts, mildly, a little cocoa, a little earthy and on the exhale and finish a smooth sweet aftertaste that is vanilla in nature.

 

[imaqt]

What's up with the jalapeño taste....I hate it!
ECK

 

[billherbst]

Wow. Jalapeño. Go figure. Made me get out my 16-month-old bottle of Casablanca---very well steeped at this point, LOL---and do a quick atty-drip test. Memory suggests that my particular vintage may be past its prime of peak flavors and losing a bit of punch due to advancing senility, but no, I don't taste anything obvious that reminds me of jalapeño. Might there be a tad of pepperiness in it? Maybe, but ever so slightly if at all. I can still discern the cocoa, however, so the juice isn't completely dead yet.

 

[KDude]

Could the peppery ness be high nicotine? I've decided to not even go above 18mg, period. I get a spicyness that drowns out the flavor of many juices with 24mg+ and up. As for Casa, I had a small bottle at one point, but disliked it for the same reasons. I might check it out again with this in mind.
