You can get the samara TA here. It's the only place that sells it.
TOBACCO ABSOLUTE: Samara Botane Aromatic Apothecary
TOBACCO ABSOLUTE: Samara Botane Aromatic Apothecary
Thanks, Danny, I need to try that one (so far the only TA's Ive used are Inawera's and TPA)
Art I think you'll love the Rustica. Danny recommends 50/50 PGA and PG and mixing down to a 10 percent solution. I'm sure that's the best way to go if you have or can get the PGA. Since I don't have PGA or PG I've been using VG. It does separate back out on me but not that bad and hasn't caused me any problems so far.
Good luck and keep us posted.
Today was a vape mail day!!! The 19 tobacco flavors I ordered from Ecigsexpress showed up as well as a nice new shinny IPV 5 mini.
For starters I mixed up these Flavor Art flavors and gave then a good shaking and a 30 minute 50 watt steep in my UC. Instead of taking apart my kayfun lite every flavor, cla=eaning and re-wicking it I decided to take a Nimbus RBA, do an 8 wrap 28 kanthal coil like my Kayfun lite has and vape it at 13 watts the same as the kayfun lite.
Perique Black at 3%. Had a weird spicy flavor to it.
Shade at %5 Sweet nutty flavor.
Tuscan Reserve Ultimate at %3 wet grassy hay flavor.
7 leaves at %5 a good decent tobacco flavor.
Then I added 3 drops of Dark Tobacco to each and 2 drops of DNB for none of them had any real throat hit and gave them another 30 minute UC steep.
Perique Black developes a cloves flavor. Not sure I would like this all the time but at the moment its not too bad. Believe this will be more of a supporting flavor than a main flavor.
Shade turned into a good tobacco leafy flavor without any grassy or hay undertones.
Tuscan Reserve Ultimate lost the wet grassy flavor and became just a dry grassy flavor with sweet undertones.
7 leaves I screwed up on and put two drops of Garuda TA in it before I realized that wasnt the Dark tobacco bottle so it has 2 drops of Garuda, 3 drops of Dark Tobacco and 2 drops of DNB. The flavor endup being a very sweet tobacco flavor. Its actually too sweet but would be interested how it will taste after a few days of sitting.
Out of the 4 Shade is by far the best to me and will be the flavor of the day tonight and tomorrow.
Thats 4 of the 19 new flavors and if I get a chance tomorrow will try 5 more flavors and give a review on them. Going to a crawfish boil tomorrow so my taste buds might be totally fried lol.

I got my Rustica Absolute, now how do I get it out of the bottle? Are you guys heating it up or scraping it out?
Mine was a real runny tar substance. I scooped it out and then when I got all I could I poured straight PG into the container, shook it and poured it into the bottle I was mixing it up into. Did this about 5 times until I got clear PG from the container.
I messed with TA in it's tarry form about a year ago. I believe I got it from WL. Too much work for the return in my opinion. I am totally OK with Inawera's 4 TA offerings. I even use them on my store bought juices.
Earlier today I revisited the 7 leaves from yesterday. By itself it had a good flavor but wasnt really popping in my opinion. Mixed with Dark Tobacco and garuda TA was just too sweet for my taste. So I mixed up another batch of it at %5 and added 3 drops (%1) of Virginia TA and gave it a power UC steep. The flavor now is of a moist tobacco leaf. Not grassy, not hayish but good ol moist tobacco. I feel that this will require mixing with other flavors to make it a truly great vape but it does have a lot of potential now. maybe pair it up with Desert Ship or even Perique Black. Who knows.

I've read some other posts that claim it pairs well with Perique Black. I really liked it paired with Hangsen Ry1, just as a pair or mixed with some vanilla and caramel for a ry4 type mix.
If you like deep, well cured but natural tasting hay/grass in your tobacco mixes then the Rustica delivers like nothing else I've ever tasted. If you're satisfied in that department already, then giving it a pass would make sense. Well worth it to me though.
I found 7leaves very weak at 5% so I built 50 mls of 10%, let it sit 2 weeks and it was good so I made 50 more at 12% and its ripening so I haven't had any as of yet. I find it a good base in a mentholess spearmint I vape and to my surprise it makes my Hangsen red cola pop out better than the stand alone cola. I'll use up my 7leaves and not buy it again since I now got 12 different tobaccos to choose in a notepad from recommendations in this thread. I'm appreciating TA more and more with every day I vape with it enhancing a tobac, so some TA's are definitely going to be in the cart.

According to it's description, 7Leaves already has elements of Perique and 6 other tobacco flavors inside. Unless you're trying to increase one element over another, it should be good by itself. It needs a long, long steep. I personally add a drop of Bitter Wizard to get rid of the sweet flavor. Others add a bit of black fire tobacco for a smokey taste. If you're into fruit flavors with your tobacco, I would consider some blueberry or apple.
How long of a steep would you consider for 7 leaves? A hint of apple might go wonderful with this.
I might try it with an RY1 in the near future. At the moment I am kinda burned out on Caramel/creamy tobacco vapes.
I have gone 30 days without help - perhaps 3 weeks after 5 hours with the crockpot. Longer with high Vg. But I am not typical - very picky with my flavors. You might require less.
