Typo. Fixed.
OK, normal then 2 microns. Where does the 1 micron enter the picture? Typo, maybe?

Anthony, your assessment of Cigar juices are dead-on, as much as I enjoy my freshly made cigar extracts, they really bloom once my extract has aged ~3-4 months. ~3-4 months ago I noticed Cigars tended to need more time than Pipes, and I believe it holds true for a less complexly flavored juice like Nub Cameroon, than a juice like Acid Cold-Infusion. That seems to fly in the face of logical reasoning vs. my actual experience... am I nuts View attachment 397617 View attachment 397619
I think cigars with flavor infusions or distinctive casings would reach a steep maturation much faster than the underlying inherent properties of a cigars filler, binder and wrapper.

That's prophetic as I had the pipesandcigars.com page open to that EXACT blend and was considering the purchase ( was looking for a good English to do my first extraction attempt) well now I'm sold, into the cart it goes...along with a few others including Scotty's Butternut Burley....any opinions on how this and other aromatics extract and vape? Crudmonsters I'd expect.
I have GeJ, RBFS and Net.com periques and none of them are juices i want to vape straight. RBFS' St. James is perhaps the best, if i have to vape it straight but even then no more than an hour. I am having a lot of fun mixing them with other single varietals though. I like it at 40 % in va/per blends and around 20 % in English blends.
My favorite application of perique is in GeJ Patriot though. I have tried various mixes of cavendish/burley/perique and so far haven't come close to replicating Patriot.
It really depends on the amount of casing used in the tobacco. My Milan Tobacconist Celebration will start to thicken up and get gunky pretty quick compared to one of MVJ's Drew Estate or Borkum Riff aromatics. That is even with my extract being filtered at 3 microns.


Hey now, I was giving a look at that Butternut Burley and it looked....well, good, but people were saying that perhaps it was "too smooth", no?
How's the Lane RLP?
You folks know what I've liked so far; any suggestions? Anything wild? I might just pick up a new one with few reviews and just figure it out on my own.![]()
Right now I have three Cigar Macerations window steeping, 60 & 90 day cycle, that won't be vaped before April & May, allowing ~2 months for the filtered Extracts to age before mixing my vape juice.
My next experiment will be storing Extracts in the freezer til I exhaust those on hand, ~70-80mls worth, I'll update my results about the first week of July.
Thanks much for the info. I can see there's no reason for me to try them again lol. I have Patel's The Edge and Easy Times and I use rebuildable drippers with KGD cotton or CelluCotton rayon.
I can almost guarantee you'll find something to like about W2V's Signature Blends such as London Blend, Paris, and Louisiana Blend. They are gunky, too gunky for many here, but not nearly at the level as WalkerT. Very dark, potent, high impact tobaccos with no other additives.
Is leaving an extract to steep at least a few months or more, before mixing it, common with all the self extractors here? I ask as I just finished my first few cold extractions started about a month and a half ago.
I originally was going to "try" a small mix after two weeks![]()
P.S. the Cornell & Diehl engine no. 99 tobacco smelled so good from the package I could have chewed it up and eaten it. The juice smells so good I now, I could drink it LOL!

Tobacco Impact: 4. English is a single varietal NET made purely from bright yellow Virginia leaves. Virginia has a fairly mild flavor, but when presented like this as a straight non-aromatic without added flavoring it gives a very pure, authentic tobacco experience. Virginia NETs have a leafy taste that provides a bite and mouth feel that I just love, and English has a pitch perfect level of that leafy bite. Some may equate it to a grassiness. {snip}
