I smoke camel menthol silvers. They are like lights, but very strong menthol.

I am looking for a flavor that has a tobacco flavor (not sweet) and strong menthol. I like other flavors, but I keep going back to camel menthol silvers because I can't find something at least close...

I either get a menthol that just tastes like mint and no tobacco... or I get a tobacco that tastes like wintergreen... ewww...

Help me, can HALO cure my craving? I want to order today...

Thanks!!!

Halo makes Menthol Ice, which I've found to be a delicious menthol flavor which isn't minty/mouthwashy/etc. (It goes REALLY well with this Triple Orange flavor I've got, but that's not what you are looking for.)

I'm checking it with a few different tobacco flavors, to see if I can find something that goes nicely with it. Prime 15 isn't bad, but the nuttiness isn't meshing well w/the menthol in my opinion. I'll be back to let you know what I figure out.

Edit: results from my limited tobacco juice supply.

My only tobacco flavors from Halo are the Prime 15 and the Tribeca, but the 'beca has other flavors in it that didn't go (for me) nicely with a menthol. I don't want to mention other companies, so I will pm you.

Halo Truepure has a tobacco flavor in it, but it is not a strong menthol. To me Coolmist is the strongest menthol, but others think Menthol Ice is. None of Halo's menthols taste like wintergreen. When I first started vaping, I mixed Torque 56 or Freedom with Truepure. It only takes a little tobacco to give a nice tobacco taste (about 2.5 ml tobacco to 30 ml Menthol). You should definitely give Halo a try.

I should put both Truepure and Coolmist on my "to be tried" list. This hobby is making my unemployment even worse :vapor:

Hopefully this adds to the discussion, not intended as a hijack!

My analog favs were: Camel Unfiltered, Marlboro Menthol, American Spirits Menthol (Turkish Gold gets a solid 2nd place to the first three)

So obviously I love a rich, strong tobacco taste with a monster hit

To me, Marlboro Menthol and AS menthol taste like a strong, rich tobacco and a strong, rich Menthol (NOT cutesy 'ice' or sweet, e.g. marlboro smooth, camel menthol silvers, etc).

Despite my love for Turkish tobacco, I always hated all varieties of Camel menthols, because the menthol tasted too 'cute' to me, and the combination of cute menthol and turkish tobacco, which is already kind of fluffy and aromatic, was way to ...cute? :) Soft, fluffy, etc.

My point?

I just got my starter kit, and I absolutely love Menthol Ice, BUT I don't think it tastes like a menthol (as defined above), despite the fact that I'm in love with it. Its very aromatic and delicate, and here it is satisfying a person that loves a more sledge hammer tobacco +menthol.

So I imagine that if you were a camel menthol silver lover, you will LOVE this stuff, as its very aromatic and delicate. I can't compare to TruePure or others as I don't have them, but I'm sure the same can be said for them. Even my Torque56 and Prime 15, despite the monstrous throat hit and woody taste of the latter, have an OBSCENELY delicate and delicious flavor, which reminds me of turkish blends :)

That said, I'm on the hunt for a Marl. M/AS M mimic, and have made my own menthol crystal concentrate, and will be adding it to the tobacco flavors soon to see what happens

good luck!
