I can offer you some info on MBV tobaccos, but have NEVER used Tobacco Pure so I'm not sure it'll help much

I use MBV tobacco juice and find it pleasant. Remeber, TASTE IS SUBJECTIVE!!! The first thing, ALL of their Tobacco juice require alot of steep time, some of them UP TO A MONTH...

to reach their full potential. What you may taste and smell initially (the maple syrup thingy) WILL change. HOWEVER.....almost ALL of their tobacco's DO NOT HAVE a traditional analog tobacco flavor....they tend to be more of a fine dominican cigar type tobacco....

If you have never smoked a good Dominican (Arturo Fuente, Partagas, Punch, Ghurka, etc.) it is understandable that you would have trouble identifying the flavor which I think is why alot of the reviews on their tobacco's are off. Most of their tobacco's have a very rich, nutty, undertone that is traditional with a Dominican...very smooth....with a warm, leathery, taste. I ALWAYS keep their 555 and RY4 on hand and find them VERY good as an evening vape after doing all the other wonderful flavors they have all day. Some people have described the taste of their tobacco as "licorice" like.....as this develops it becomes the Dominican taste that is desirerd by cigar smokers. As I stated earlier......they take awhile to steep. I've found the 555 is very good after about 2 weeks...the RY4 is a MONTH. The 555 is slightly sweet, with a very rich nutty flavor over the top with a hint of caramel in the background and the rich tobacco dominating...easily an ADV for tobacco lovers and closer to a traditional RY4 type flavor.

The RY4 on the other hand is a VERY COMPLEX BEAST

It is by no means a traditional RY4, but after the long steep to me, it is TRULY rewarding

The Dominican tobacco taste is strong in this one! The caramel, vanilla, and SOMETHING ELSE (maybe licorice) that I cannot put a finger on blends WONDERFULLY with it....it quickly becomes an addiction...but due to its' complexity..IS NOT FOR EVERYONE..

Keep in mind as I mentioned before...TASTE IS SUBJECTIVE and YMMV. I hope this gives you a general idea of the MBV tobacco's. Steeping them IS required...so if you do try them be prepared to show them LOTS of love before you can get their full potential. Good luck!
