Converted to DIY, trying to recreate my favorite ADV from Mr-E liquid (Rough neck)

[seehad]

I've come up with some great ADV since converting to DIY but I'm still having problems finding a tobacco I really like. If anyone here has tried rough neck from mr-e liquid and has gotten close, I would love to compare notes. For me roughneck reminded me of a tobacco leaf; like how I describe it when I'm doing tasting notes on coffee. Dry, little bit of pepper with a molasses note. The exhale often reminded people of maple syrup. It also reminded me of how red man chew tasted.

The only thing remotely close I've gotten so far was TFA molasses and FA black tea. I'd prefer not to use anything with Acetoin & Acetylpropionyl. I have the maple syrup from FA but it didn't seem right.

While I haven't cloned this juice per-se, I just mixed up my favorite DIY tobacco to date. It is dry and peppery and it's almost there. Next up on the try list are VZ honey flu cured and parliament.
