jalepeno? umm no? i've had some that's steeped for like 6 months and it's a regular flavor for me. i've never once tasted any kind of spice, no matter how long it's steeped. and i'm a 24mg girl.

from what i understand, the nic can taste peppery to some, but mainly what i'm saying is that unless you guys got a batch were don used some mislabeled fire juice, you might wanna have your heads checked ;)

Can't tell if serious...or...trolling......

That's a pretty common complaint of tobacco flavorings with a desert ship/Turkish base... some people get that taste... while some get an "exotic... or dry... tobacco taste...
Thank god I don't! In any case... I bet if you were to compile most of the "uninspired" reviews of this flavor... and similar flavors... you'd see that jalapeno or pepper happens for many of the uninspired... Steeping significantly helps this pepper phenomenon - the cocoa and sweet bloom after 3 weeks.......

...also... funny how tastes change... I started this thread almost 2 years ago!

I still like it... though in that time-span... the flavor has increased in intensity (in terms of my perception) - Don hasn't changed it...

...also... isn't it striking how many other vendors are now selling a desert/turk tobacco with a cocoa finish... just sayin' -

I still like don's best because he never over-sweetened it and always takes steeping into account.

No....Never gonna troll on Don's parade!​

I have way to much respect for him and the BWB crew.....

Tango...sorry if I came across as a troller, but just can understand the jalapeño taste.
By the way mine is 6mg nic! Does that make a difference in the taste?

Mine has been steeping for obout a month.
When I fill my clearo with the casa then I wash it out really well, fill it with another juice the jalapeño taste is still there.

How long should I let it steep before I give it another go?

By the way I also tried it in a brand new clearo and can still taste the pepper!

Sorry if I have offended any one...:)

No... that's not trolling at all... some folks just get that exact taste... I've seen some folks come right out and accuse vendors of putting pepper flavoring in it etc... it's the dryness... You could ask Don... or pop over to the bwb forum... ask phorbin or one of the crew... I don't think you'll shake that flavor too much... one of things you get or don't get... after all, it has steeped a month...

To some degree... (and I believe to a high degree) taste is subjective... but peppery is a fairly common descriptor among those who don't appreciate it... just like with Bobas... a lot of people say coconut or oatmeal...

You know... most steeped tobacco flavors taste like wet socks to me... (I don't usually eat socks... but if I did...)
...and a lot of people who don't like it get that "wet sock" taste from steeped tobacco... while many... seemingly most people don't get that at all.

only a very few steeped tobaccos don't taste like wet socks to me... and that's BWB Adirondack... the W2V flavors... the prime vaping and another one or two... the others I have tried are pretty intolerable for me.

in any case... I'd see if you can get your hands on some BWB Honey Flue Nut... That's the best stuff on earth...

and cherry tobacco... man, I remember a time when we were all going ape over BWB cherry tobacco... I think I'll grab some when I get back from vacation... that was great juice.

I didn't like Casablanca when I first got it - surprise, surprise! Now... adore it. My fav juice. I tone it down a bit with Vanilla Bean or Maple Tobacco (another great one) or something else mellow, just to take the edge off. To me it has a slight raunchiness that is reminiscent of analogs, and when i need a strong hit it's Casa straight up. Will be using it to kick up other juices a notch as well. Steeping does wonders for this juice. Just ordered 90mls, largest same juice order I've placed yet.

Casablanca :wub:!

Casablanca, Adirondack, and Malty Toffee are my top three from BWB. I switch them out every few weeks, then vape them all day. However by far Casablanca is my fav, it has a earthiness that I love, best way I can describe it. I have never got a pepper taste out of it, maybe your a super taster. Supertaster - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia at least that is my theory.

I absolutely love all of the juices I've tried from BWB. I was a bit "skeered" to try Casa, just because I'm just not a huge fan of cocoa, but after reading reviews and.... just knowing how masterful Don is at his craft, I couldn't resist! I'm soo excited to try it!

I also ordered some Malty Toffee, 555, and Peach with my last order, Again, neither the peach or the Malty Toffee would be something I'd normally try, but I trust they will be great! Don has the unique ability to turn ordinary ingredients into extraordinary juices.

BWB= Buy with confidence!

gosh this is the only juice I do not like from BWB, ill be honest here and this is my thought of Casablanca it straight up taste like some kind of fish to me, yes fish, I tried this juice several times and the first time I really did like it becuz of the jalapeno taste I got from it then I got it again and it was fishy different, but I am no way a big fan of juice that taste earthy which must be the case with this one, it taste like dirt or some odd taste....
