Day 4:
Cloverfield is a 2008 American found-footage style (think Blair Witch) action / horror film directed by Matt Reeves. It is a very good movie.
Cloverfield is also a flavor in Mountain Oak Vapors' Tennessee Original Sampler Pack. Let us start with some history.
Kretek (clover and tobacco cigarettes) were invented in 1880 by some Indonesian guy to alleviate his chest pains. Forward 130 years, and the Unites States are still importing nearly all of their clove cigarettes from Indonesia. The U.S. Congress passed legislation during President Barack Obama's first year in office banning the production and sale of cigarettes with flavors such as clove, cinnamon, strawberry or cherry, but not regular or menthol cigarettes. Clove cigarettes are banned (did anybody notice?). So Indonesia cries discrimination to the WTO. A week ago the WTO agreed with Indonesia, saying if menthol cigarettes are legal, clove cigarettes should be legal. Expect Kreteks to return. End lesson.
I never smoked Kreteks. Sure, I have tasted them. I have smelled them at parties. They are as different to tobacco as apples are to chocolate. Their closest relative might be cinnamon.
MOV's Cloverfield is a warm, sweet spice blanketing the tobacco. The tobacco is there, but well in the background. The clove flavor is powerful. I taste other things going on, but before I can focus on them the clove slaps me in the face. Even after several hours of vaping, I just can't get a handle on anything but the clove. I don't think I like clove (never have). I think I will let somebody more familiar with clove describe this.
Cloverfild is the clearest of these clear ejuices yet. The throat hit is not as strong as I would have expected, more mild to average. Vapor production is great.
Note: If you need to get a bad flavor out of your mouth (like Crab Juice), Cloverfield would work great. Now how do I get this clove taste out of my mouth.
Note 2: I would probably exchange Cloverfield with Smooth & Mild in the Tobacco Sampler.
Day 5: Tennessee Original first impressions. Is that a hint of clove? *rinses mouth and drinks 16 oz. water* Much better, but still need more time for taste buds to recover.
