The thing that worries me about Black Cigar (BnM) is that people have stated there's a strong chocolate taste.

There is definitely a chocolate taste to it. It drops off a little with steeping, but is always fairly evident IMO. If you want something very similar but with less of a chocolate taste, try the Cigar SC. I believe they are made from the same base, with the Black Cigar having some chocolate added. At least that is what it tastes like to me.

I would also recommend the SC Parliament. It seems to be somewhere between Real Cig and VFC to me.

Does the Black Cigar gunk up atties?

If you like a mild chocolate you'll probably like the Black Cigar aka Black&Mild. If you want a pretty good and a bit stronger tobacco that also has a mild chocolate then for sure try the Yuco tobacco in the Gourmet group which is REALLY super concentrated .. some use it at 1 drop per 2 mls but I find even that a little too strong so I make it at just 1 drop per 4 mls.

Gourmet Yuco is excellent for me totally agree. Gourmet tobacco is nice too. Waiting on the other gourmet tobaccos right now. BTW stashy I do think this Gourmet Caramel that you love so much is very good too. My hands down favorite so far in the gourmet is the Vanilla Spongecake and I sure hope that one comes back. A girl can dream.....:laugh:

Great to hear this! About the caramel .. I do mix it with the Charlotte & Cream, I use 2/3 caramel with 1/3 CC. For the Vanilla Spongecake I found it a little too sweet, so I mixed a little sample of 1/2 of it with 1/2 of the Chocolate Truffle because the Truffle was not sweet enough for me .. the combo turned out great. I'm thinking 1/3 Vanilla Spongecake + 1/3 caramel + 1/3 chocolate truffle might be excellent.

I love these Gourmet flavors, it's all I've used for the past few months. I hope they get more in stock, but I think they come from Russia so that could take a while or maybe never even happen again ... which would be so sad.

I just received some Gourmet SC Creme Brulee and Irish Cream. Mixed a small 6 ml batch of Creme Brulee at 1.4% or 4 drops. I'll let you folks know how it tastes in a day or two.

Oh goodie ... I wanted to get the Crème Brulee but haven't done it .. anxious to hear what you think of it. I've found that the non-tobacco ones taste good right after mixing, they do change a little bit over time but not that much. I have many of the non-tobaccos that I mixed 2 months ago and they taste almost exactly the same today as they did the first day. So .. hint hint .. maybe you'll go ahead and try a few drops of that Crème Brulee today? :)

Of course I have to try iit tonight! I'll let you know later tonight.
What the heck flavor is Gourmet SC Creme Brulee

I see its one of the better sellers but have never heard of it

I guess its my sheltered life.....lol

Creme Brulee is a custard dessert with a layer of raw sugar on top that is torched with a flame to create a "crust" of raw sugar. It's pretty much to die for!
We'll see how the flavor works shortly!

Ok. Here is my initial impression of VZ SC Gourmet Creme Brulee.
Subtlety delicious! I'm vaping it in a genesis atty and it's mixed at 1.4%. Not sure how steeping will affect it but I like it a lot right now. What I love about all these sc's is that they seem to be designed with vaping, rather than "flavoring" in mind. I've really not tried one that I didn't like.
Anyhow, a larger batch (30ml) will be whipped up tonight, along with a test batch of the Irish Cream!
