JG Blend from www.ahlusion.com
The juice: JG Blend is a Cavendish extracted tobacco from Ahlusions non-aromatic line, infused with coffee notes. Options selected were Dark Roast (Light Roast also available), 12mg nic, and 50/50 vg/pg. Aged for 1 month.
The Hardware: ERA clone dripping RBA on a VAMO.
Ratings are from 1-5 depending on where a juice falls in an attributes spectrum. Only the last rating, "overall", is based on 5 being the best.
Sweetness: 3. This is a comfortably sweet juice. They have the option to add additional sweetner, but the standard level of sweetness should be enough for most vapers. The tobacco involved is Cavendish, which is naturally sweet, so a sweet juice was expected. I wonder if it would be better if it was a little drier, but I don't feel it is at all too sweet. Smooth Criminal from Ahlusion continues to become drier after the first month, so I wonder if this will too after an additional month of age.
Tobacco Impact: 3. Similar to other Cavendish NETs, this one isn't smoky, leafy, grassy, or anything like that. It's not complex, but it tastes very good. Straight-forward and pleasantly sweet. It has an important role in the overall flavor, but know's it's role is that of supporting player. The lack of aggressiveness and bite is a big reason this works so well for me. Coffee is a very complex flavor, one of the most, and leafy or grassy tobacco notes might feel wrong with it.
Vapability: 5. Coffee flavor, when done right, is similar to straight tobacco or vanilla to me in that I can enjoy it at about any time, just like I can enjoy a cup of coffee at any time. The juice tastes great, full of flavor without being aggressive, smooth and sweet. Unlike other coffee tobaccos I've had, the coffee flavor stays strong with and doesn't quickly fade like others. It also has legs, I can gladly vape this for long periods.
Flavor Accuracy: 5. Sold as a coffee tobacco, tastes like a coffee tobacco. Ahlusion is at the top when it comes to authentic flavors, and JG Blend doesn't dissappoint. The coffee is fantastic. The dark roast option I chose tastes like a cup of fairly strong, high quality coffee, but isn't bitter or unpleasant in any way.
Overall: 5. Best coffee tobacco I've vaped, and by a fairly large margin. The tobacco is unremarkable while still being very good. The coffee side is where this juice really shine, and I'm glad the tobacco doesn't try to compete with it. I'm curious how this juice continues to age after several more weeks, but won't find out with this bottle since it's so good right now. Next time I'd like to order a bottle with the light roast option, just to compare, and another dark roast again to set aside for long steep.

Just got some more stuff yesterday and steeping but trying them out. Really impressed with Peach Wild Wood and Peachy Criminal. I liked the Peach River Tree but someone - Randy? set me on to the wild wood flavors, and I like them even better - even before the long steep - the apple is good too. SGP and HCured are going to need some more steeping than the others 
Did you get my PM on RY4? Just in case you don't allow PM's....
