I am looking forward to stogie. I'll be ordering it in the next month, I hope.

I'm thinking of getting the first three... Diane doesn't have in the sampler's yet, I'll probably email her in a bit about that.

PS.... Some here already know, but to repeat... my taster doesn't taste Latakia right... so I don't do that anymore. I taste an odd-ball flavor completely unlike what others describe it as... Best description I can give it... is an iodine wash flavored... a really weird reaction to say the least that I can't explain.

Similar to yours except I love it. LOL. I knew off the bat though this was not going to be an easy sell for some. I don't know what you are vaping it out of, but outta my Cisco Specs I am getting a nice dry and smoky natural tobacco, a spicy and semi-sweet woodiness accompanied by that floral element (and likely some other flavorings). That floral element isn't as strong as in Acids, but somewhat related. The tobacco to me is unmistakable. And I love the woodiness. Love it.

p.s. There is a return address on that package -- just sayin'. :lol::lol::lol: Hope something in that package suits you and makes it all the worthwhile.

p.p.s. I have never had a real Cuban of any variety (or a real cigar for that matter), so I am less inclined, or able to, compare it to what it is supposed to be like. As an NET though, I dig it.

I have had a Cuban down in the Caribbean. It was in your face a cigar. You will get another chance at this. Bet on it..........

OK, I tried HHV - Hunstman...

Very pleasant vape. I do not in any way get the "grassy" feel some I have heard described, nor a "woody" or "earthy" feel of any kind as HHV describes it. I also dont get a "medium bodied tobacco." In fact, to imply this is a medium bodied tobacco is absurd to me. What I do get is a very nice, well balanced, and enjoyable maple right up front. Underlying all is what is to me the FUNKY HHV "tobacco" base that I remember to be so nasty in Dragon's Fire, an almost synthetic tobacco that on my palate reminds me so much of Vapor Station - Tampa. However here there is slightly, for lack of better words, "earthy" or "woody" thing in here that, when combined with the nice maple, subdues the evil of that signature HHV base. I can see why people love this stuff. Me? Meh. It is a very pleasant vape, I will say that unabashedly. It does not in any way read like an NET to me, or more specifically like tobacco. I would never ever reach for this if I wanted tobacco impact or an "Authentic smoking experience" because it is not that, at all. What it is though is a very nice vape, balanced, slightly sweet, very pleasant, and definitely for the right person I could see this being an ADV. I'll also say I respect that HHV has a very specific and unique niche in the NET world with stuff like this. Hey, its not for me, I will never order this stuff...as a tobacco it is a total fail IMHO. As a great, pleasant, accessible ejuice for those who dont want bakery but dont want a harsh tobacco vape either it is a resounding success. I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy it a bit.

That all probably sounded more negative then I meant it to some of you. I will say this, if you put me in a corner I would definitely reach for it over Backwoods Brew - Maple Tobacco and Ahlusion - Maple Wild Wood. The maple isnt QUITE as smoky and earthy as I am looking for so I am not yet sure if I will order Maple Eh to try, but I very well may now be convinced to try their waffles.

Checkum, I look forward to reading your thoughts on some of that other stuff like MVJ, RBFS and even the Walker Tobacco Alternatives.

upward and onward to the next of your sends. Buy the way, I started testing my liquids in what I first started out with. That is so I can have a constant as to how I compare them . That would be a good ole Evod 510.
I Also use the sends I get in an older model dripper for the same reasons above. Habano was a bit more tobacco flavored there, but to "flowery" for my taste. More of a tobacco flavor is my game although other lighter flavoring in NETs are much to my liking for a change of pace. For some reason the Habano Dark failed to ring my chimes. .

I got vape mail...and plenty of it.

Mike sent me his beloved SANGRIA which I cannot wait to try, as well as an OFFICIAL AND APPROVED sample of HHV Huntsman and Gaia. I will sample both shortly and have high hopes.

Clay at NETCOM sent me a mess of beta samples that he hopes to bring to market soon. The list includes: trRY 4.1, trRY 4.2, Columbian Mocha Tobacco, Dark Caramel Tobacco...and then his take on 3 French cigarettes - "Poilu" (Gauloises), "Gypsy Brunes" (Gitanes Brunes), and "Gypsy Blonde" (Gitanes Blonde). As a W2V - Paris lover for those first 2 EPIC vapes of any Paris attempt I am super excited about these to be sure.

I think I just had a vapegasm.

I am so happy for Clay for making it back. I wish him all the best.

On to Gaia.

"Simple." "earthy." "no nonsense." I guess.

I don't know exactly what to make of this. It doesn't read like a single varietal. I don't get a ton of toppings either. What kind of tobacco(s) it is I have no idea. Much less, if any, of the standard HHV base. Maybe a hint of it. Smoky. Very mild. An entry-level tobacco vape. Pleasant and smooth for sure. ADV...I can totally see that and that is always a compliment coming from me. I go between appreciating it's pleasantness to being bored with this. Not my thing. Get me a gunker. I might gargle with some W2V - Louisville to reboot my palate.

I don't know, I would be lying if I said I wasn't enjoying this. It is a respectable juice. There is nothing at all special about it...that is except its vapeability and accessibility which as a "no nonsense" (LOL) NET I think it has in spades. Not a reorder, not sure I will even finish this bottle as I could never see reaching for this over some 3 dozen other "mellower" NET's...but it's nice I guess. I would recommend it to someone wanting an unflavored NET, but who wants something light.

Overall I find the 4 or so HHV juices I have sampled a little light in the loafers, but they seem to offer a little something for everyone out there (save the hardcore tobacco gunk crowd) and I respect them for this a great deal. They are tobacco juices but not at all what I would consider a strong example of an NET. That's a very subjective comment but it is what it is. I know a lot of people I would recommend this juice to...however none of them would be tobacco aficionados.

I also simply do not like their tobacco base...like AT ALL. I heard someone refer to it as "artificial sweetener" once and I can;t come up with something better than that. Maybe it is just me. Similar to how some cannot stomach the tobacco base in the Ahlusion Aromatics (I personally don;t care for it at all in Vurley and SGP) I can't stomach this VS Tampa thing HHV has going on.

I totally get why. I am just at this weird juncture in my NET consumption where certain liquids work for me that may have been no bueno for me in 2012 (and vice versa). I did want to make sure you were fully stocked jut in case, so once again, I hope there is something in there that will work. Hell, the Walker NETs may make several 30 mL once diluted! LOL. You could probably add it by the drop to MVJ's liquids to boost them.

And with the floral thing, I think me liking Kuba Kuba made me perfect candidate for being able to get down with this (and I like the floral notes in Jigg(x) too). Not too many people here like Kuba Kuba if I remember correctly (just me Jerms and Anthony -- I think??). I didn't quite like the Havano at first as that note was pretty forward, but at some point I just kept going back to it -- my half is now gone.

p.s. Who here likes Kuba Kuba (either from w2v or QnJ)?

Glad to hear Clay and NET.com are back. Without realizing it, I have been hoarding my NET.com juices. 3 crown, The Boss, NS brown, NS Dark, Big Spirit and rum rebellion are all down within an inch of their own lives.

I am going to make a tentative decision to liberate those final precious mls of each and vape them like there IS a tomorrow.

Hallelujah!

Mann, I just want to give a very quick review on my takes on a few of your sends.
Blackberry Brandy from Walker Alternatives. Want to hear something strange? I thought I was vaping "Blueberry" at first. Brandy was in the background. I did like it a lot. The easy times, also from Walker needed more dilution for my tastes and was OK.
From RBFS the Count Carmel was absolutely fabulous!! I looked for it on the website and did not see it. An order from me if it was there. The Caven Fever was also good and Admiral Pipe rocked my boat.
Lastly I tried the Want2Vape, London. It was also, IMHO, fabulous! Got to run now. wish I had time for a more in depth analysis of the liquids above however, I just wanted you to know what my first impressions of a few were. I will try the MVJ juice at another time. Thanks once again Mr. Mann!

Awesome! Yeah, RBFS will always come through. And you got to have some London in your stash, but not to be selfish, but I can't part with Louisville! It really is that good.


I have to post this though it is unrelated: OMG! Robin Williams dead? I am hurting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Each of these... such as the one I quoted from you is called a "post"... not a "send". The collection of posts like the one we are in now, are called a "thread". If you use the same terminology as everyone else... they will understand what you are talking about.
