Dulce Cubanito from www.ahlusion.com
The juice: Dulce Cubanito, received June 3rd, at 50/50 vg/pg and 12mg nic. It's described as "Our take on a perfectly aged Cuban/Dominican cigar based on our bottom leaf extracts. Our Dulce Cubanito has a slight hint of Cherry." I personally haven't noticed any cherry note.
The Hardware: IGO-S build with Ekowool and Kanthal 28awg at 1 ohm on V3 Sentinel mech clone. ERA build with German silica and Kanthal 31awg at 2.6 ohms on VAMO. (I much prefered this one on the German silica build).
Ratings are from 1-5 depending on where a juice falls in an attributes spectrum. Only the last rating, "overall", is based on 5 being the best.
Sweetness: 2.5. Dulce is a Spanish word meaning sweet. Much like Sahara Blend, this juice seems to fluctuate on how sweet it seems to me. It has a similar powdery mouthfeel to that one, but Dulce Cubanito has that a little less with a little more overall sweetness. It does lean more into the dry section for me than it's name would suggest.
Tobacco Impact: 3. Medium tobacco with a little complexity. There's some dark, oily tobacco notes I enjoy that provide a rounded, bassy feel I often see from cigar NETs. Alongside that is a brighter Cuban cigar flavor that tastes very synthetic and recognizable to me. It's a cigar flavor I don't get from real cigars or cigar NET vapes. I was hoping that with age, that part would diminish and the dark and oily flavors of the bottom leaf extract would take over, but that hasn't happened. To me the best cigar NETs, like those from Want2Vape, are made from a real premium, hand-rolled cigar. I don't think that's what Ahlusion went for, and I wish they did.
Vapability: 2. Dulce Cubanito tastes similar to another Cuban cigar vape I've had that I enjoyed but grew tired of. I don't really feel like grabbing for this often. However, with it's light sweetness, nice mouthfeel, and pleasant darker tones, I am able to enjoy it enough to finish off the bottle.
Flavor Accuracy: 3.5. Before ever smoking a cigar or having a cigar NET, this juice is pretty close to what I would have imagined a Cuban cigar vape to taste like. It just doesn't taste like a actual cigar or cigar NET to me, more of a take of an arti-bacco cigar vape.
Overall: 2.5. I've talked with others who enjoy Dulce a LOT more than I do. Ahlusion took a direction with their first cigar offering that works very well for some people. It's well made and I would recommend it to others who are looking for a cigar vape, but it's just not for me. That could change, it's happened before when a juice will click with me well past when I started it, and I have several ml left for that to happen. I'm not holding my breath, but will report if that happens. Right now it's the one dud from a company that makes many of my favorite tobacco vapes.
