Now, I've tried quite a few tobaccos recently and I cant find one that I enjoy through and through. I recently bought both CountRY4 from mountain oak vapors and Paris from want2vape vapenstine blend. I ordered a few samples from various vendors across the internet and I've also tried to DIY a few. The problem is that none of them are just plain terrible. My tastebuds always finds an aspect of the liquid that makes it off putting after a few vapes. CountRY4 has a rediculous sweetness that got more pronounced over time, The Paris tastes exactly like an ashtray (but good to mix with some of these liquids to tone down their sweetness.) I tried a few from parkes vaping and they all had this like.... honey mixed with plant aftertaste that got unbearable after a while. I'd like to find a tobacco with that has that bite you look for, that's a little bit sweet, and doesnt have some unusual flavor in the backround that will be picked apart by my tastebuds. If you have ANY suggestions I'd really like some personalized responses. I tried looking through a few threads here but that lead me to 2 duds.

Here's one you probably won't see recommended on this site, but SpringVapor's Black Label 555 is very very good to my taste buds. It has a slightly nutty taste that I really like. His Ry4 is good too but, like most Ry4's I've tried, doesn't have a lot of flavor.

Right now I'm vaping Ry4 from Vaporescence.com, which is one of my top 3 juices at the moment. I don't find it to be sweet. (As a comparison, I also vape Ruyan4 from ECBlends and I like it but I sometimes tire of the sweet undertaste in it.)

I'm not really a huge tobacco fan any more, but today I'm trying two that I think just about anybody would like. Both are from Highbrow Vapor, and I'm enjoying them very much. (Both were 10 ml free samples with my first order. Very clever of them! I can easily see how a person might get hooked.)

Anyhow, #1 is the very popular RY4, which is fabulously round and mellow, with a slightly nutty, slightly caramel-ish thing going on. The other is Tabac de Perique, which I just love. The aroma has a very subtle, super-appealing vanilla note, and the finish is a bit like smoky pecans. You never lose the feeling of tobacco with either one of them though, and that's what makes them so interesting.

Both taste exactly like cigarettes would taste if cigarettes actually tasted good. :)

I agree with people who say that Highbrow juices really need steeping. These two are a little more than two weeks old, and might well get even better. If you want bite you might try a high PG version and/or higher nic; these are a 50/50 mix, I think, and 12 mgs.

Hi, There are two really great threads in here, Natural Tobaccos and Sweet Tobaccos. I've been sitting here for a week with my notebook reading through them. There are some great suggestions. Quite a few are trying Gandalf from HeathersHeavenlyVapes. Lots of comments in the two threads about Gandalf along with many others...might help to check them out.

Glad to hear you like them, I have some juice coming from HighBrowVapor also, the Tabac de Perique half strength. I like that you can have alot of options at HighBrow. If you like strong juice might try Johnson Creek also.

I haven't tried MOV yet, but probably will eventually. The key is the tobacco extract methods used. MsMacguyver mentioned two great threads out there for the hard-core tobacco enthusiasts. What kind of money are you looking to spend? I suggest that you check out Aroma eJuice a bit. No fancy frilly juice names, and they use a whole tobacco alkaloid extract method (WTA) which is very interesting to me. I think they are the only ones right now, but not sure. This extract method pulls out all of the decent ingredients of natural tobacco. The taste is very good and you also get as close to what you were getting with an analog cigarette as possible, but not any of the bad stuff. It's very 'calming' to me like I used to get with analogs. Give them a try.

I have hated every single tobacco blend I've ever tried,,, until Heather's Heavenly Vapes Gandalf. This stuff is fabulous! It's the only tobacco blend that even comes close to an analog IMO. It's got that dirty, dusty marb taste I've been looking for. Their Oompa is very similar, like Gandalf with a shot of chocolate and that one has become one of my top five. Actually, ALL of my top five are from HHV. Their juices are simply clear, clean and taste exactly what they're supposed to taste like. No steeping required either.
