I just got down with some of Johni's extrraction of Gawith Hoggarth and Co. Black Irish X. Man, this stuff is friggin wonderful. Mine is 70/30, 18 mg and I am dripping on an ebaron. DELICIOUS, full bodied smoke. Yep...SMOKE. "Authetic Smoking Experience. Not too light, not too in your face, but full flavored. Johnni's juices consistently hit a near perfect balance between full bodied flavor and smoothness. really remarkable. I have never had a twisted, rope Virginia before. They state that this tobacco is: "All our twist tobacco varieties are manufactured by the same spinning process using dark fired wrapper leaves. The filler is again, predominantly dark fired leaf with the addition of a small percentage of dark air cured Indian leaf. They are therefore strong tobaccos." It is an aromatic that is cooked under pressure, topped with sweet rum, then "the addition of maple sugars blended with rum to the 'filter' leaf. This is then spun into a rope form before being made into a roll which is cold-pressed overnight. So what does that all mean? Think Black cavendish, but with a virginia, not dank and musty but a bit brighter, full flavored, with a slightly sweet finish. It bridges a gap between a pressure cooked dark tobacco and a cigar. In fact the finish is very cigar like. I think it is delectable.
Johni is a man to be reckoned with. I have tried a few of his juices - H&H Louisiana Red, Sutliff Burley Delight, and one of my top 2 juices I have ever had Sutliff Voodoo Queen. Every one is almost exactly like smoking a pipe. Incredible, incredible stuff I would take over any NET retailer I have tried yet.
