A new flavor to try at halocigs is always exciting. I ordered HX3-30ml-12mg. Opening it up you can smell the whiff tobacco base right away rather than your other menthol flavors that he has listed. This on is truly unique; upon vaping it has a nostalgic coco base similar to new york patty with instant taste of spearmint. It's truly taste and has a little dryness to it, but in comparison to the midnight apple that one is much drier than this. Throat hit is on spot and strong, so it's recommended to not to go over board with the mg of nicotine level ordered. As for the smell, it's hard to say. It doesn't smell and there is no perfume that's detected, but rather clean. The smell is best described as hot summer day lingering of mint and tobacco. As for the tobacco base, I'm not sure what it is other than spirits comes to mind.
