The worst I've tried so far has to be the vile fluid that was in the Fifty-One carto's that I started with. Looking back, I see that it was pretty rank - but oddly enough, it's that very fluid that started me on the vaping path. Nasty as it was, it was still better then an analog I guess.
Most tobacco flavors won't taste like tobacco for a couple of reasons, not the least of which is that people naturally want to compare it to the taste of an analog burning. That, as a standard, fails on a couple of points - Primarily the fact that the 'flavor' is produced by combustion and the resulting chemicals. What they grind up and stuff in a paper tube and call tobacco is another.
I'm not at all surprised at the mention of a floral or soapy taste, and yes, even the dirty socks comparison makes sense.
Different tobaccos have very different flavors. Add to that, the way a tobacco is cured will have a profound effect as well.
What most people don't know, and would have no way of knowing, is that there are many tobaccos that actually do have a very floral, soapy scent, and taste that way when burned as well. A lot of people like it. Why they like it has remained a total mystery to me, but they do. It's referred to as 'Lakeland' and comes from the UK. Samuel Gawith and Gawith & Hoggarth are the most well known 'brands'.
Lakeland leaf covers the soap/floral side of thing - now how about the one that Cyberpixie mentioned... My first thought when I read that was 'Oh no - they have "Mixture 79" in liquid form'. Her description of the taste of that stuff is spot-on. It's another that has been around for a long time, over 70 years actually. Masochism is alive and well.

Cyberpixie, read a post earlier on here where a guy said something tasted like dog nuts. I was wondering how he knew what those tasted like. And I heard some people say, "That tastes like ...." I personally don't want to know what ... or dog nuts or swamp mud, etc., etc. taste like.
I'm guessing we 'taste' things more with our sense of smell and that's where the imaginative descriptions are coming from :0)
Although that still throws up questions about why people are sniffing dog's nuts etc

Indeed. Also, hyperbole is fun to play with. In my bacon review I described it tasting like "pork rinds dipped in month-old pig fat and then baked to a golden brown in the furnace of Satan's bowels." I may not have attended that particular cookout, but I'm willing to lay money on being pretty close to the mark...
I started with the Smoke51 cartos too. Truly awful. Like plasticy tobacco that's been sitting on a vinyl car dash, soaking up the vinyl sweat in 150 degree heat for six months.
all my worst were from artificial tobaccos. Most people trying to mimic tobacco rather than extract from it just create awful stuff. It's like someone saying "It's like tobacco, but it just doesn't taste like it or remind you of it at all."
Those juices that made my wife want to stop my vaping forever due to the smell was cuban supreme, 555.5, marl lite, and maple rum tobacco (all from various vendors).

I recently purchased some MsT's tea berry gum. I thought something was terribly wrong with it. I wrote back to them and ask them to let me send it back, at my expense, and see if they could fix it and they kindly informed me that there was nothing wrong with it, that's just "how it tastes". It had no sweetness at all and kinda took my breath away. They also recommended I purchase some of their sweetener to address the problem. I had some sweetener from TV and tried that, still no help. I would have to compare it to vaping atomic cinnocide WITHOUT sweetener. No interest in doing that again. I was a bit disapointed in the customer service, but that's for another thread I guess. I will say the other three flavors I got from her were great so I may give her another try.
I have been surprised at how much I really like the tobacco flavors. Gorilla Juice, Bobo's Bounty fr AV and Geoffs blend from Tasty Vapors is great and I kind of like the Wyatt Earp too.
