I am typically a tobacco-vaper, but I am sooo often disappointed by vendors tobacco flavorings

Took me a while to find the RY4 from HighBrow but it's really good in MOP ...kinda undecided at first but kept going back to it and found it really has a great flavor ...good throat hit and Vapor production is right on . I came across a sweeter tasting RY4 which i think was an earlier Version but not sure where ...I will find it and PM u if you like ..

I felt the same way too but keep in mind all his juices are made fresh off much like a freshly squeezed orange juice. Variety of his tobacco flavors may or may not need steeping (depending on how you intake the flavors or not), then they become just the way you like it. For example, I loved Ry4 because it's the perfect tobacco tasting and semi-sweet flavor I have been searching for ages. It's not too sweet, not too bitter, but right balance of the two making it an ideal RY4 tobacco.

However, if you take a cigar flavor for example, to me it didn't fully taste mature so I just let it steep until it was ready to be puffed. Mixing flavors with the freshly made tobbaco helps a bunch and gives the right notes or textures in case if the tobacco flavor is too much for you. For example, french pipe tobacco. French pipe was so strong it needed to be steeped and since I wasn't into it too much I either mixed it with a fruit flavor or a sweet desert from my previous orders to the way I want it to taste.

Thanks, Icey. I always steep my juices; however, even with steeping my annoying palate doesn't seem to like most juices I've tried. I thought I'd be safe with the "dessert" flavors as I can get a feel for Highbrow. I should be getting them in tomorrow.

EleanorR, what juices do you really like from them (sorry if you've posted this already, lazy friday)

Orange de Sangre; Limoncello; and based on the smell alone (they're only 3 weeks old so a tad young per my usual steep time) the Vanilla Bean Decadence and the Amaretto!

I like Bryan's Tobacco Exotics (I've tried it with Peach and with Apricot), but the TE base is very strong and earthy. Not sure I can vape them for long periods. I have a bottle of the Tobacco Exotic mixed with Orange that I am dying to try once it has steeped, because I believe that succulent juicy sweet Orange is strong enough to tame the TE base!

The Blackberry Limoncello is true to its name: sweet, ripe blackberries. However, it's a tad too sweet for my tastes, so I am going to add some more Limoncello to the bottle -- that should make it perfect! :)

You make that TE Base with Orange sound exquisite!!! I may try one or two of their tobaccos. The juices I got today smell good. (Didn't get much smell from the Malt - not a problem, just an observation)

I am excited to try these.

I hope it is. I am really fixated for some unknown reason on finding a good Orange Tobacco. :)

I know from other sites that you like a good, strong NET -- so you just may really enjoy Highbrow's tobaccos.

I like the orange highlight on my previous post! :p

Let me know how it tastes!

I can't seem to find their grape. Was on their site today. Explored their fruit Flavors and new Flavors. What is it called?
I love their Pure Pear, Peach Thymbra, and English Malt Toffee.


You know, I don't believe Highbrow has a grape. That's surprising! But you can always go to the Highbrow thread or to their site and ask "Scribe" (Bryan, the owner) if he would try and make one for you. He's always totally open to new suggestions!

BTW, their Blueberry is awesome, if that helps. ;)

I get absolutely no perfume in any of my Highbrow juices . . . but I always steep a few weeks. (OTOH, I do always "sniff" each bottle as soon as I get it; still have never detected any perfume!) :blink:

I have not tried Highbrow's RY4 or Cigar, but I do have 3 Tobacco Exotics (each mixed with a different fruit). The TE has a very strong, earthy odor and flavor; could that be what you are getting in its "unsteeped" form?

Hi Eleanor
Nope, nothing earthy. I have tasted this same flavor in other mixes. Perfumey is all I can relate it to.
I had to flush my atty with alcohol to get rid of the flavor from both juices.
I will just let them steep awhile and see how it goes later with them. Hopefully, that will be the ticket.
Thanks for the reply!

I got RY4 and Cigar today. My first order. Both taste like hideous perfume. Does this go away after steeping?
Please let me know.. I cant vape it now//


I have exotic, ry4 and exotic with peach added and I think that they all have the same tobacco base, just can't talk myself into liking them no matter how much I would like to find a good ry4 without spending $300 trying all the bad ones that don't fit my taste.

Does anybody know what they use for their tobacco base??
