I ordered for the first time from mbv... so far not impressed :(
Do the flavors just not vape well fresh out of the mail?

Rum tobacco
Vanilla tobacco
Sweet tea
Custom tropical mix of my wife's creation...

All have been .... boring. Muted flavors I guess.

What's the best way to steep and for how long?

I'm so sorry and i can so relate. Everything Seanchai just said was so true also. My relationship with my own mother had gotten to be so *toxic*, which is the best and only word I could use to describe it, that I had to cut her out of my life. We hadn't spoken for 6 months when she called me to tell me she had pancreatic cancer. For the next 3 years she used that terrible disease to manipulate the whole family into rallying around her. When she lived longer than anyone thought she would, the drugs she had to take and her own sick personality drove everyone away. I tried so hard to be there for her and to be the good daughter but never quite achieved that in her eyes....as no one ever could. Things came to a head one visit and I had to release myself from her once again. It was a year ago this last Thanksgiving that I finally saw her again, after not talking to her for a whole year. For some reason I saw the frailty of her and how close she was to really being gone from my life forever. I was able to somehow open up my heart to her and forgive her for never being the mother I deserved and wanted. I was able to make it home to KC a week before she passed and see her awake and alert one more time in the hospice house. Her eyes filled with tears and she held me like she never had. That was the last time she was awake. She passed a week later. I share this story because I believe there truly are *toxic* relationships, and oftentimes with the people we are the most bonded to because of their being family members or best friends. Sometimes it is in our best interest to step away from those relationships to preserve our own peace and sanity. And sometimes, at the end, forgiveness happens. My mother was not a great mother. The harm she caused me is something I will be working through for a long time. Maybe what I'm missing now is the idea of the mother I wish she would have been. All I know is that I'm not angry anymore and I'm free. All I feel for her at the end of it all is love, and that is a gift. There are no mistakes, only life experiences. Mine have made me what I am today. I don't quite know why I just shared all of that....maybe it's the holidays....and how close to the surface feelings are right now. I'm stone cold sober, I swear. Thanks for letting me vent. And to Doug, and any of you who are struggling with these kinds of relationships, I wish you peace and freedom from any guilt you may feel, and the strength to do exactly what is right for you! Big hugs!!

Thank you Roonies ((HUGS)), MCOL, Seanchai, and anyone I might have missed. :)

I let all MBV tobaccos sit on the shelf 8 weeks before tasting. They have some really good ones but they take time. As to method of steeping, I take them out of the package & put them on the shelf, that's it. 555 is fantastic.
