I also got the sample pack from five pawns, and I was surprised that Gambit has thus far been my favorite. I thought that based on my tastes and their description that Absolute Pin would be my fave, but I was wrong. Grandmaster is the only one of the five that I haven't tried yet. The peanut butter scares me.
The only issue I have is that I have zero patience and must try new juices as soon as I get them. I know, I know, steeping! What I try to do with new juices is sample some right away, then put the juice away and come back to it a week or two later. With Five Pawns, their samples are so small that I have to be very careful to leave enough juice in the bottle for the "second pass."
My first Alice in Vapeland order has been placed. I'm really looking forward to trying those!
I have to also put a plug in for Good Life Vapors - not sure if they qualify as "gourmet" - but I found their juices to be extremely flavorful and layered. I just re-ordered larger bottles of Eve's Mistake and Magic Fairy along with yet another 5 samples.
One other highly flavorful and complex standout for me has been Maha Ras from Mad Murdock. I ordered a bottle along with the infamous Pluid and I have to say, as much as I am enjoying the Pluid, I find the Maha Ras to be outstanding, unlike anything I have tried to date. And vapes perfectly with a nice zinfandel. Fantastic stuff.
Edited to add: Posting about the Maha Ras just triggered my purchase of another 30mls.
You will be happy with your Alice in Vapeland purchase!!!! No doubt! Where did you buy the MM? I can't find it anywhere? I want to try Pluid, and Maha Ras!! Let me know .... I'll check out the other ones you recommended too! Thanks for joining my thread!
