I'll gladly send you some stuff extracted from Ouelette's fine blends! He recently put together four blends for Missouri Meerschaum, the world's largest and oldest manufacturer of corn cob pipes, located right here in Missouri. I had to order all four so they'll be on my list in the near future.

There is a lot of great information as well on the tabs to the left, such as blends, cuts, etc. Thank you for sharing the link.

If you spend some time on pipesandcigars.com reading blend descriptions and reviews, it makes the world of NETs a little easier to understand. Be warned though, the extraction bug may bite ya!

Jerms,

This is precisely why I avoided ordering the cigar and pipe blends I wanted in the steeped to perfection line, with the exception of 2 because I wanted some ready to go when the ordered arrived. I wanted to be able to add a flavour shot and the steeped to perfection line are proprietary mix.

It was the advice I got from you guys in this thread that heeded a warning to me that I should go for the extra flavour shot. So thanks to you all! Just another example of how beneficial it is to be part of this thread.

The one MVJ I have from the steeped-to-perfection (STP) line is the Sun Grown Nicarao Havana cigar, mixed on 10/15. I've grabbed for it a few times, sometimes it has a nice, but light, flavor, and sometimes it's almost flavorless. My taster needs to be operating at full sensitivity to pick up it's flavors, which means many factors are at play as to whether it will work.

I haven't had enough time with the three I have to make a solid decision on them. It can be hard to grab for such subtle juices when I have so many delicious full flavored juices on hand. I will find out how well they work for me, they will be vaped because they are very vapable. I have a suspicion that in the end, the cigar NETs offered by MVJ are just too lightly flavored for my personal tastes. I've said before that while they work really well for several here, there will be many that they don't click for, and I may be one of them.

I enjoy subtle, but there's a line for me that crosses over into too subtle, and so far MVJ is toeing that line.

I speculate that my home made NET's will be the best ever.

Just kidding!

Sorry Dust. I forgot speculating is prohibited in this thread...rolls eyes.

 

[AnthonyB]

Dusty,

Could you elaborate more on the Carlos Torrano from MVJ?

So, Carlos Torrano from MVJ .. yeah! damn good!

There.. back on topic!!

I speculate that you will be surprised at how good they are and wonder why you didn't do this a long time ago.

That would be a shame...lol
Actually, I hope it does, but I better need to learn what types of tobacco's I prefer. So far cigars and bolder pipe blends (non-sweet) have been in my wheelhouse. Thanks again for the link. I've spent a little time there but never seen that information before.

Goodejuice's NETs are great out of the mailbox. Analog is great as is. The only liquid from them that I let steep is Vita Bella; most others are good to go.

I generally like GeJ NETs right away. Like most juices they change with age, so if you don't like them at first try again in a week or two.

Thanks for the replies!

Here's another interesting link on pipe tobacco, also there are links to sections for cigars and cigarettes (on the right of the page).
The RTS (reconstituted tobacco sheet) used in cigarettes was a surprise to me.
If you click on a varietal (or a picture) it will link to more info.

same taste in NETS here.

 

[Brobdingnagian]

Is it wrong to like ALL of them?

LOL, I currently seem to be at a crossroads where every NET catches my fancy. Well, except for the really gunky ones.

Those require the rba and blowtorch more often than I'd like, tbh.

Look at it on the bright side, whatever you say has no risk of being deleted by a moderator, no matter how unpalatable

You underestimate the other moderators on here. We are probably our own worst critics.. because whatever we do is completely transparent to all the others!

There's always back and forth banter on actions taken, and that includes having a discussion to having actions reversed.

Nobody is allowed to have free reign on the forum.
