All – tagged "Tobacco" – EuroFlavor
In searching for tobacco concentrates, a company called EuroFlavor caught my eye back in January. I must say, so far, there are more winners than losers in their tobacco line. As promised, from my post in late January, here are my short and sweet tasting notes on the EuroFlavor (EF) tobaccos I've experimented with to date:
Burley Tobacco:
Unusable. Back to the lab with this one EF. Nuff said.
Cigar Cuba:
This is a light and airy, but very aromatic Cuban cigar flavor; no ash is present. Woody in nature, this tobacco definitely has a cedar note which is front and center. Must have for cigar vape lovers.
Mixed at 5%, 40PG/60VG; a bit too much cedar; mix at lower than 2% for a nice cedar flavor.
Cigar Dominican Republic:
I find this tobacco flavor somewhat enjoyable, even though there is a heavy-ish floral quality which is associated with the flavor. However, the pleasant (light pine or cedar) woody and leathery quality wins over floral note. No chemical back notes associated with this flavor.
Mixed at 5%, 40PG/60VG; will say to mix at lower than 4% if you don't want this tobacco as the primary in the mix.
Dark Tobacco:
From EF: Fire-cured, rich tobacco taste with smoky and woody impressions. Contains a slight floral taste that adds body and aroma to the blend.
Agree; however, the slight floral note is almost nonexistent, which is a good thing for me. There are no chemical notes. This is a "darkish" flavored pipe like tobacco with lots of body. It will prove nicely in adding depth to other tobaccos.
Mixed test batch at 5%, 40PG/60VG; will probably mix this flavor at a bit higher percentage if primary tobacco.
Modified Virginia Blend:
From EF: Virginia tobacco is often referred to as brightleaf tobacco. Most of this type of tobacco is grown in the US and was fire-cured dark-leaf. Our Modified Virginia Blend is planted in fertile lowlands, used a robust variety of leaf, and is either fire cured or air.
They got the Virginia tobacco flavor right; slightly sweet and flavorful. The flavor of this tobacco is that of air cured. There is no added smokiness or charred flavor in the least with this flavor. It's a bit on the light side, so a mix percentage at 5 to 10% will be required for tobacco lovers; others should stay below 5% for a nice light Virginia flavor to the mix. Tobacco fans will want to add an absolute or DNB to this flavor.
Mixed at 5%, 40PG/60VG; wanted a bit more flavor as a stand alone.
Orient Tobacco Black:
From EF: Orient Tobacco Black is a sun-cured, highly aromatic, small-leafed variety or tobacco. Often referred to as Turkish tobacco.
I've been searching for a very long time for a tobacco that carries the flavor of cedar and/or sandalwood. EF has it, hands down, with their Orient Black. This is going to prove tremendously helpful with cigar mixes and other recipes which need a bright oriental tobacco quality.
Tested at 5%, 40PG/60VG and think that anything more than 5% in the mix would be a waste or move into the cloying range.
Orient Tobacco White:
From EF: They copied and pasted the same description for Orient Tobacco Black as the description of this tobacco.....really?
This tobacco is of the Oriental/Turkish variety, however, they need to rework this flavor due to its unpleasant odor and chemical notes. Tastes and smells dank and acrid, rather like stinky socks and wet, spent fireworks the morning after the celebration.
Mixed at 5%, 40PG/60VG; back to the lab with this one EF.
Pipe Tobacco:
From EF: Well-blended pipe tobacco w/vanilla notes.
Agreed. A nice blend of tobacco flavors with a sweet finish; a light to medium bodied tobacco flavor with notes of Virginia, burley, oriental. No pungent quality or chemical notes inherent with this liquid. This pipe flavor would be a good candidate for folks that need an introduction to vaping tobacco mixes.
Mixed test batch at 5%, 40PG/60VG; good, but will mix at 6 to 8%.
Reviews still to come:
American Blend Black:
American Blend Blue:
American Blend Gold:
Tobacco-Chocolate:
Tobacco-Vanilla:
I will more than likely repost this as a stand alone thread for EuroFlavor concentrates, but thought I'd throw it down in this thread first for the tobacco folks.
