I do. Not because I am afraid it will trigger an urge for tobacco or anything like that, but because I was very particular with what brand of cigarettes I used to smoke. I didn't like cigars, pipe tobacco or anything else other than some RYO tobacco that was said to be close to what I smoked, which it was. Everything I smoked in cigarettes from an adult age, centered around m-boro.

I don't think the tobacco's taste anything like real cigarettes. I have so many bottles of different tobacco flavors which my husband likes but I seem to be using more fruit, caramel, and bakery flavors. I tried the 555 from BWB and hate it! I don't know what it tastes like but it's not for me! Highbrow has a couple I like as well as the Copper Creek House Blend. None of them remind me of an analog.

I recall when I smoked cigs, that the brands were in this order for me. M-boro (this could be reds, mediums or even lights) first, then Caml, then Winstn. Winstn having a strange aftertaste but tolerable if I was out of my brand. I tried a couple supposed tobacco liquid types, or the essence thereof, but it was somewhat more akin to the taste of what fresh leather smells like it would taste like. Another that tasted like what baby powder might taste like. I liked the way my grandfather's chocolate and cherry pipe tobacco smelled like when he was smoking it, but hated the flavor of it when trying to smoke it and couldn't imagine ever inhaling it on purpose and was usually more looking for the cherry and chocolate that I was smelling, without the tobacco.

I evolved out of them. Still got a little around the house, but do not use it much. I had trouble getting off of that last couple of smokes until I quit vaping them. I switched to coffee bases with accents and have never turned back, but there are a couple of tobacco flavors I still have that are not to bad if I accent them with a little cherry or brandy...

I also evolved to the coffee flavors. They seem the most satisfyingly fit to many smoking type situations, or things that cigarettes used to go good with. If I was having a beer, I could up the voltage a bit and get a smokier sensation if need be. I am sure that it helps that I love coffee to begin with.

I avoid Tobacco juices, even though I really want a good tobacco :/

One of the big things, many Tobacco Juices smell as bad, if not worce then burning cigarettes (albeit differently) and taste almost as bad (yes, to me and my tastes).

Some to "dry", others, way to "earthy", to "burly". Then some over comensate and go way to sweet (several RY4s or caramel tobaccos).

I usually do not like any tobacco flavors but after 2 years of hearing all the praise for Bobas bounty I ordered some and was shocked but I love that juice. It doesn't taste anything like the tobacco I remember. I liked it so much I ordered a big 100ml bottle. Also, ordered some of their Gorilla Juice to try and I like it too. I guess I need to be more open to trying different juice types.

On the contrary, I seek out tobacco flavors. I have tried enough fruit, dessert, and coffee vapes to know that they will never fill the niche that quitting cigarettes left open. Vaping rich flavorful vibrant tobacco juices fills that void completely.

I do avoid tobacco flavors that are smoky or have that "ashtray" flavor. Blech! I am not fond of any juice that tries to mimic a burning cigarette. I chase after the juices that mimic the aroma that comes from opening a fresh pack of smokes or a pouch of RYO. Now THAT is some tasty stuff, and it gets even better when you add fruit or dessert flavors on top of it.

Heck, chefs have been trying to use tobacco in cooking for a while now - Hmm, Hot and Spicy. It's What? It's Not! - New York Times

I was somewhat surprised to discover after a few weeks of vaping-only that I was losing my taste for my tobacco juices. I absolutely adored Vermillion River's Kentucky Premium blends when I started to vape, prior to quitting smoking, and it wasn't until a couple weeks of nonsmoking time had passed that the tastebuds started to object. It's not that I can't vape them... it's that I just really don't enjoy something about it. I'm not sure why that is, because I miss what I remember the taste of tobacco being. But at this point, I'm on zero-tobacco flavorings, and for the times when I have an analog craving, I reach for a heavy blend of nut flavors that isn't at all sweet, instead.

I've recently discovered that I generally dislike tobacco vapes - in fact, I ordered some from 2 different companies last week thinking they might be good, and found that I disliked the taste of the tobacco portion so much that I gave both 10ml bottles away at a vape meet on Saturday. Ick.
I much prefer fruit, sweet or light coffee (but coffee only after steeping for at least a week)
Funny how tastebuds change!

The first few days of quitting, I think the tobacco flavors helped me. Since then, I have lost the taste for any of them. I've given most away, but still have a few bottles for safekeeping, in case I ever jones for a tobacco taste, but that seems more and more unlikely as time passes. I'll probably given them away soon, too.

Depends on what u mean by tobacco flavors, I don't really consider ry4.... or hazelnut tobacco etc to be tobacco flavors. I embrace those

I've had a few supposed "analog" flavors that didn't taste like cigs at all, I usually run from those. They r at the least weird, generally nasty. If someone gave them to me id try them (ill try anything) but I've learned the fake cig flavors r just not for me.

I just put my first order in for juices. I got a ton of samples not knowing what I would like. I'm not a sweets person in general, and what ones I might like are very subtle like pear or watermelon. I ordered some that aren't tobacco flavors, but might mimic the weight and tone in flavors I do like: like

coffee
absinthe
black licorice
french vanilla (which I intend to mix with with the black licorice)
I did get the dragon fruit we'll see about that one
brandied pear
root beer
wintergreen/vanilla combo
watermelon

We'll see if these are really what I like, but they seemed like they could be good choices for me. Not too sweet (hopefully) somewhat herbal, a bit spicey, and some a bit woody.

I might try a tobacco flavor at some point, but right now, it sounds really really unappealing. I never liked the taste of tobacco anyway, I'm not sure why I'd like one of the liquids, but I might be surprised. Ya, a 2 PAD smoker, and i never liked the way my cigs tasted. Gross. LOL.
