All About Vapor's "Cowboy Killer" is harsh like a Marlboro Red but the flavor I found to be rather generic. Not bad overall, just not like a real cigarette.

The best flavor I have had so far is from DFWvapor "US Tobacco," but it lacks the harshness of Cowboy Killer".

Basically, you are not going to find that one, compromises will have to be made.

it's not impossible... you need a good lab juice... and a cartomizer.... these have been considered quite adequate by many: vapor station's phoenix or tampa... phoenix is more like a red... http://www.vaporstation.com/e-liquids/vs-brand.html pg versions

halo freedom may work too... closest thing to a real burning cigarette.

close my friend, but not the same you know?

Given the fact that was what I smoked when using analog that was the I looking for on day one. I have seen many claim they are like the analog tobaccos that starts with a M and ends with 'boro' but in most of the cases the letters in between were no "ARL" at least by my sense of taste. I was getting "My Bro" but that was advertised as the gold not the red box and the difference was there. This might be why the hunt we are on id difficult is because there are many different blends even under the same brand, and if you're a red fan, gold just doesn't do it for you, silver is an different universe...

Finally, tried "USA" from a vendor I like a it was described as being: This tobacco flavor is similar to the popular cigarette sold in in the red and white box. Starts with an "M" and ends with a "boro". It was the first time I had run into a description that had the box color right so I too a chance and ordered iit. To me, it was as described and I keep a bottle around all the time. As much as I like all sorts of flavors these days I still have an urge for a good tobacco flavor about once a day and this takes care of it and meets my expectations. Its also a tobacco flavor that does not get tired 'taste a bit off' if vaped a lot - although that maybe my own personal problem. Thats the reason I don't hunt an ADV because I 'wear out the flavor' if I vape the same over and over and need a break so the flavor comes back to what it was in the previous flavor and sort of we're off on me. This one however stays for the long haul with me and I have found some days that its the only flavor I poured all day.

I get it here: USA Tobacco Flavor from Vapehut

One of the first vendors (online at least) I every used and I have had great service from them, quick shipping (especially considering I live on the west coast and they are on the east I usually get it in 3 days), 1 day or less turn around, great CS. Never had an issue,have had some (what I am sure were) horribly dense noob questions with people willing to explain it to me. Not all their juice is my cup of tea, so to speak, but the ones that are and I order are consistent in flavor from onr order to the next.

Vaping and smoking are completely different.

There's no such thing as e-liquid that tastes like Marlboro reds.

I don't think you can say that for everyone because, what does a marlboro red or a virginia blend or a horseradish taste like? We can all give descriptions of what things 'taste like' and try and describe things from out experience of other things we have tasted but the truth of the matter is taste is pretty individual to each person, very subjective, We know a flavors name because when introduced to a flavor someone said 'this is banana' or this is 'spinach' but obviously we all taste those different to some extent or no one would like bananas and everyone would eat spinach.

And besides our brains all interpreting certain flavors for us, some people have taste buds that other do not (genetically not damage) and some people can taste things other would taste 'nothing'.

There really is no way to know what the other person is tasting - just because they says something is like 'vanilla' or has a "hint of lime; in it - even when you did down into a flavor you tasting things that the other has no way to know if its the same 'sense'.

Thats why you can have a review for a juice where the reviewer can't think of enough tasting 'tasting' words to describe it, while the next reviewer swoons over it. Some of the most angry comments YouTube collects is when some poor reviewer decides to tak about their experience with a e-juice and some watcher is positive they have twin taste buds - jumps online and orders it and its the worse experience imaginable. No one tricked him - just very few people taste things alike. Even identical twins raised in the same home the same way research has proven interpret what they taste different. One twin can experience a flavor (food flavor lets say not vaping) as 'bad' while to the other is 'delicious'.

I agree, that it may be difficult to get the taste of 4000 different chemicals down right but its ot to say it can't be done so that to some people its tastes just like expected. My experience tells me it can be done - at least with taste alone. Sense of smell plays a huge part in what things taste like (why food tastes 'dull' or 'blah' when you have a bad clod and are stuffed up) and that burning paper, ashy smell not being there does cut down a but on how your brain makes the comparison. In many ways smoking was often more smelling them tasting.

Your right in your experience that there is no way that a e-juice could taste like a marlboro red and even that many will think its no possible because they can find that flavor - while other will find a flavor that clicks with the brain and its goes 'oh yes! the reds! I KNOW that taste'

And, of course, there are new flavors every day and more and more types of tobacco being leech for natural flavor so what isn't here today maybe found tomorrow... its one of those never say never things.

The best anyone can do is, as the OP did, get some ideas of other experiences. In my experience that Marlboro Red has been found - and in my experience 50% or more of the people that take my review seriously and decide to try won't agree (not too ornery - well maybe one or two but not most) but that does not mean I am wrong - it simply means that what I am tasting in the e-juice is what I tasted in the red box. What you or someone else tasted may not have been mixed up yet.

Does anyone have any experience with a tobacco juice that tastes like reds?
The short answer is no. At least I have not been able to find anything that resembles smoking even a generic cigarette, let alone Marlboro reds.

That having been said, there are some juices out there that come very, very close to pipe and cigar flavors. Unfortunately, most of them have a rather generic pipe/cigar flavor profile, in my opinion, but at least they do have a tobacco flavor. They are not all the same. Some have different flavors, but most of them are pretty similar, so if you try some of them, you have tried them all.

To get started, I would recommend the following in no particular order:

Halo's Turkish Tobacco (mild, generic pipe flavor).

Want2Vape's London and Louisville (stronger than Halo's, generic pipe tobacco flavor. Louisville is a bit more interesting - it has a slightly sweet flavor - than London, but London has a stronger peat flavor).

Quicknicjuice's Kuba Kuba ("spicy," mild cigar flavor), Grandpa's Night Cap (mild pipe tobacco with a slightly ashy/almost peppery flavor), Habana Daydream (mild, rather generic cigar flavor).

Ahlusion's Blue Grass Burley (mild, pipe tobacco with an interesting, slightly sweet, fresh cut grassy-ish flavor).

I think the above juices would give you a pretty good idea of what is out there for juices that actually have a real pipe/cigar tobacco flavor. Almost every vendor has "tobacco" juices, but in my opinion, most of them do not taste like tobacco at all. If you would like more choices, feel free to let me know.
