Hello all,
I went to Smoque this afternoon, and they were very helpful and nice. I took a couple of friends, and the
three of us tried probably all of their flavours between us. I came away with a nice kit and 5 flavours: Red Bully (which we all agreed was the best!), Peppermint candy (which was surprisingly super-nice), Peach bite (which is exactly as it says: peachy, but with an odd "bite" at the end), Fruit Cube, and Cinnapear. As you can see I have a sweet tooth. None of the flavours I tasted were awful. The first one I tried was "Tropical - something" and tasted exactly like a Mai Tai, and was a little odd for that. Root Beer is astonishingly realistic Root Beer. Vanilla Custard was good, but cloying - the kind of thing that I imagined could make one feel a little nauseous after a while. And Spearmint Gum tasted exactly like that - only after someone else has chewed it first, which was disturbing. I didn't try any of the
tobacco flavours though there were quite a few; one of them apparently tasted like Camels. One of my friends also came away with a kit and 5 flavours, of which I can only remember 2: the Red Bully and Smoked Port, which he really liked.
They were surprisingly short of the pure fruits (Grape, Cherry, etc.). I was really hoping for Orange; apparently they're brewing an Orange Crush right now. I'm so disappointed it wasn't ready for today.
So thanks all for the advice!
