[QUOTE="bombastinator, post: 23721642, member: 43994"] Two ways to do menthol that I know of. “Menthol” and “Ice” “Real” menthol is a Crystal that gets dissolved in alcohol. That’s the stuff that all the falderal is about. Me I smoked menthols for a short while and coughed up blue specks, (well blue speck) so I tend to believe there is at least something there. There is also “ice” which uses a menthol derived paste. Looking at the stuff what they apparently do is react menthol with something else. I have no idea if this changes anything other than the flavor. Which is a bit different. It’s more generically “cooling”. I suspect it’s what gets added to a fruit flavor to get something berry ice. Menthol is generally more of an additive than a flavor though. So a Newport or something would be menthol tobacco. A single flavor thing might be something that sounds like Salem or Newport or something but isn’t. For example one camel taste alike is called “desert ship”, which refers to camels but doesn’t say the word. Salem and Newport are both towns on the American east coast so one might be “American east coast” or some such. Salem was also famous for witch trials. Trying to remember if I tried any single flavors that included “mentholness”. Nothing is coming to mind, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t any. [/QUOTE]
