Can you help me pick a tobacco flavor?

I've tried reading the reviews and everything, but I just get overwhelmed. I am looking for a dry, sweet tobacco. Like the one used in FSUSA's Wyatt Earp (that one reminded me of the smell of an old tobacco barn like tobacco and sawdust). I don't mind if it has a little woodsy tone to it, but it would be better if it didn't. I definitely don't want anything with cocoa, or with 555-like overtones. What's a good base tobacco flavor that would fulfill these requirements?

Somewhere on this site there is a chart with the flavor profiles and notes of some Flavour Art tobacco's although I wish the list was updated it does not include all the tobaccos they carry which I wish it would get updated so one could make a better guess.

Some people swear by using those in conjunction with either Seedman's commercial or Tobacco Absolute. If I was you I would start with looking up the Flavour Art Chart here and I will say this much-- if you want no cocoa or nutty or vanilla don't buy Dark Vapure or a RY4 type.

You might like the Cuban one they carry. Its really hard to know you just have to pick a few and go from there.

Thanks for the FA chart tip. Found it on their web site.

I also meant to mention FSUSA does use and sell FlavourArt flavorings so you are in the right ballpark with that. Maybe someone else knows what the equivalent of Wyatt Derp is ala FA. I don't know if they would tell you which one or ones are used in that mix its doubtful but another DIYer might know.

Sorry, I got a sample of that juice once, a long time ago.

I remember thinking it was a poor mix of FA's Virginia and Cowboy Blend with too much EM.

I could be completely wrong as I did not care for it and quickly gave it away.

Dry and sweet makes me think of Burley at medium levels.... Been awhile since I played with Burley alone...

I'm replying because it sounds like your preference mirrors my own. I can suggest two that I think will suit you. Virginia from Backwoods Brew and believe it or not, DeKang's Winston (sometimes Wenston). The latter I order at 24mg (PG) and cut it accordingly with VG to get to my 18mg level and to thicken it up a smidgeon.

Thanks for the suggestions. I really think I need to check out Burley and Cuban. I just got some shade in, but I can't tell anything about it smelling the bottle. I also got a rose tobacco, but it smells overwhelmingly rose out of the bottle. You know, I love vaporbomb's ry4, but it's unlike any other ry4 I ever had, and for a time I vaped FSUSA's ry4, but then it started tasting too much like coffee. I tried a Virginia from VB, and I did like that pretty well, and the Cowboy was pretty decent, too, but both of them were missing...something. The dessert ship had a nice tobacco base but was too spicy for my taste.
