I am a flavor junkie on a ridiculously tight budget...I can learn to like about anything! (Besides straight tobacco) I really appreciate this, trust me! I love this group so much! A million thanks! It kills me when I hear people discard things they aren't fond of! Send it here, I'll gladly reimburse postage!!!

I'm in the same boat as CharlieGirl (tight budget)... so looking for more opinions on the TE flavors before my order. I really like the VZ realcig, and plan on getting some of the MLB, since I just ran out of RC. I'd also like to maybe find one of MLB's cousins to try. Looking for cig names, I find B&H, Benson, Hilltin, and KNT. Anyone have any opinions on those?

I assume that B&H and Benson both refer to Benson & Hedges... what's the difference? I remember reading a couple of things about B&H, but can't seem to find them here or in the reviews section. (Maybe it was about VZ B&H. I'll have to check that.)
One was an opinion/review that made me think that I have to have it. Another was that a person tasted chocolate... which made me question wanting it. (I have B&M, and don't much like the chocolate taste - even after a good steep.)

Thanks :)

    I haven't even tried most of the fruits I have. I'll keep you in mind should I find something I don't like.

    Hey guys, cathomp asked me to let you all know that he is still alive and kicking. His dad had an accident and needs surgery that can not happen right away so the children are taking turns caring for him until it can. He is pretty busy and no time to post but asked me to say hello to everyone for him and let you know that he is okay and will be back :)

    I also heard from SV. Busy but will be around :)

    I'm in awe here!! I'm vaping the 234 Dji Sam Soe. This tastes very very close to a real djarum smoke! The tobacco base is different than all the other ones I have tried. The clove tastes more like burning clove, rather than eating it. I mean this flavor is perfectly balanced! I'm not picking up other notes, like chocolate or cream weirdness! Just straight up cig tobacco and clove! I need to get more of these Chinese named tobacco flavors! Amazing!! Thanks ECX!!!! :)

    I think I will add this one to my list. I loved djarum smokes when I could find them many moons ago.

    Jimi: I forgot and cannot find your post on the Essence (Hangsen) RY4. Which notes are more prominent? Is it better than TE Ruyan 4? If so its a add to cart as well.

    The 235 Dji Sam Soe is freaky!! I even get that bitter aftertaste like from smoking.

    The Hangsen Ry4 has a nice caramel hint, with a smooth tobacco flavor mixed at 7%. Kick it up to 8% and it gets sweeter with a richer tobacco. It depends on how you prefer it. :)
    Thanks! I am making my list. Anyone else have a favorite(s) yet? I am trying to become more selective with purchases. I have about 50 of these flavors (guesstimate). Do I need more...well yes I have not found a clove that I like thus far.

    Your'e welcome! The only clove juice I thought that was halfway decent was Kretek by TV. The 234 kills it!!
