Hi all, didn't forget about you
I know I've been promising some tests and review of the Captain flavor, but life has prevented most of what I wanted to do. I also had a stint of taste-bud flake out - some new stuff came through and really threw me off and I didn't trust my taste perception.
Well, things seem normal again finally and the Captain has had a little time to steep. It has certainly changed. Where originally I only picked up a mild version of Black and Mild (VZ), it's moved away from that a bit. It still smells (from the bottle) largely B&M-alike, but the taste is much more pipe & musty.
It seems this flavor is a good bit like what Cyrus Vap described in
his review, so it's quite possibly the same as the VZ flavor, I don't know.
I'm glad I reduced the nic below my normal level in this one because it's great to just steam out the nose before taking a drag. I'm tempted to add just a bit more concentrate to the mix - with B&M I felt the "standard" 2.5% could actually be a little too high. That was in PG/VG and this is VG, so that could be all that's happening there.
Good stuff.
I haven't mixed the MLB yet, but am glad you guys pointed me that way. It smells just like the RealCig I love and I'm grateful to have more at a MUCH better price now from ECX
