Nice review Mariah, sorry you didn't love it as much as I! However, I have noticed that the sweetness and cherry notes that I get on the back-end are just now developing after two weeks steeping, first two days with lids off. Try it again after a few more weeks (ive heard it peaks at about one month) and let us know if anything changes for you!

Love the new hair coloring btw!

Yep. Steeping is pretty much a must for most naturally-extracted tobaccos. I find mine usually take at least a couple weeks to come into their own. Definitely give it another shot once it's had a chance to settle in.

I will look into that. But like I said... it's not that I didn't like it. Because I do. It just didn't live up to the hype. Too much hype here. I don't get cherry at all but a grapeynesss is emerging that is nice.

yeah I hear ya, hard to live up to that much hype, regardless of who you are!

I also revisited Shadow(fax) tonight for the first time since I received it, it too is sweeter, to me, than Legend. If you don't have Shadow and/or Dragonfire, might be worth looking into and something to order rather than Gandalf since you like the sweeter tobaccos. I know you LIKE Gandalf and plan to reorder it, but I'm thinking these two, or at least one of them, would be more your speed. I recommend against Serendipity by the way, even though so far, it is my favorite. It's a little like unsweetened cocoa tobacco to my palate, a little more earthy and definitely complexity is nice, but I don't get the sweet that DF and Shadow have on my palate at least.

Howdy!!

Great review even though I disagree with you on the absolute awesomeness of Gandalf/Legend. I'd never seen your reviews before (I'm still a noob at vaping reviewers) but did subscribe to your youtube channel.

Have a great day and keep on vaping!!


Thank you! Oh and yeah... I can totally see why some people would love it... :D Just not my favorite type of Tobacco... my perfect tobacco is VR. That is perfection in a bottle... and SUPER fast shipping. I am surprised that there is not more of a fan base as fanatic about VR to be honest.

They are on my list... I have to try them. :D

Vermillion River, home of the world-renowned Applewood Mariah and I love so very, very much. I also have their KY premium base, the cherrywood, and the maplewood on their way to round out my impression of them, which was love at first taste!

I love VR's Applwood as well......and the Peachwood...and Vanilla Blend...When I make my next purchase, I'm gonna try a blend of Applewood with a few drops of Vanilla...Speaking of Applewood, it's about time to try a few more drops of MOV's...Hoping that one gets better

It's seeming to Todd, I don't THINK, for me, it will ever be up to the level of VR's, the tobacco and earthiness just aren't there on my palate, but like I have said, it is a good flavor and worth having tried, even if I don't get it again. Which I might. It's actually perfect for right now while waiting for my new VR shipment to arrive!

Warner Brothers can kiss my .... We HATE you. Your attempt to claim rights to a RIP authors wonderful work is disgusting. He wrote those books a LONG time ago. If there was a new movie about Cleopatra, would you forbid using that name? No. The good people of the Earth take your "authority" over the name Gandalf and we raise you a (cannot say here) so "we don't care what you say - you will be bankrupt before 2020 because you are hateful."

I enjoyed Gandalf = Legend and wanted to order more. I'm annoyed that I had to come here and listen to this video to figure out the new name is.
Here's the new names due to lowlife sludge lawyers who should not be allowed to practice law:

Golum = Sludge
Shadowfax = Shadow
Gandalf = Legend

Update on this flavor... I will not be buying it again #1 reason my husband hates the smell of it. And while I do enjoy the juice, I don't enjoy it enough too sacrifice being around the person that I love most in all of existence. There are many other juices that I love that he is not annoyed by. Sorry Gand... uh legend. I guess this will be my one and only purchase of this well known juice.

I still would encourage others to try it in there search for the perfect juice and/or a good tobacco. This could be your perfect all day vape.

It really wasn't the name being used that caused the problem, it was the name AND the picture straight from the movie that gave them copyright protection.

Yay, more for me! Lol that's too bad, I hope this doesn't happen with any other juices Mariah, that would be terrible to waste the money. Sooo, whatcha going to do with that bottle? :D
