Natural Tobaccos

[Tezcatlipoca]

I think the bottom line is that VB, GJ4 and Patriot are world-class juices. I like damn near (if not all) of the House Brewed Line, but those three are IT. Natural Perique would be there in my go-tos, but it has to be in season. I tell you all, in-season Natural Perique is AMAZING, but, out-of-season, it is anemic in flavor.

p.s. I can vape Patriot incessantly fo' days!

Couldn't agree more! I like the entire line to varying degrees, although if I had to be stranded on a desert island with one, it would be Patriot.

The only problem I am having is that between A+ and GeJ, I have become quite settled down. I haven't even thought of a reviewing tobacco in a loooong time. This is why I was saying to RH about vendors needing to keep pushing the envelope; because at some point, people believe that they know what certain vendors are about. I occasionally go to check in on flavor updates, but rarely do the tobaccos grow. That's why HHV is on the cutting edge, because they keep striving which keeps newcomers and familiar vapers guessing. Heck, even seeing and knowing about Fire Cured was enough to keep me thrilled. I am not as heads-over heels about FC, though it is a great addition to the line-up. Having a Latakia infused juice is like adding Mr. Set-Shot on your team! (Reference to the Fish That Saved Pittsburgh. )

I'm with you guy's on the GeJ House Brewed Line. I've never had juice that i've liked so much. Patriot is one of those juices that I can vape all day and night, and not get sick of. I think that the phrase "All day vape" has been miss used too much on this forum because most of the people that say this or that juice is there all day vape still change or switch out juices throughout the day. Too me an all day vape should be like back when we smoked, we didn't change brands throughout the day. Now I'm petty new to GeJ, only been vapin it for about a month, but this is the only juice I've vaped in that time besides one tank of Gandalf. Before this I couldn't stick with one juice for more than a few hours. Yeah I'm a fan boy.

I don't have an all day vape. I don't want one either. "Back when I used to smoke" doesn't mean anything to me. I don't smoke anymore.

GJ4 thoughts coming probably tomorrow. Right now Vita and I are going to soulfully gaze into each other's eyes a while longer

Odd I received Vita bella last week and I didn't care for it right out of the box. I'm letting it steep for awhile now and will try it again in a week or so. I love tobacco and have loved the way it smells all my life. Vita just didn't seem like tobacco to me. Maybe i just enjoy old fashioned tobacco, I love huntsman.

VB is not a straight tobacco -- it is a tobacco plus one. You may want to try a sample of Fire Cured. But if you love Huntsman, or HHV for that matter, stick with them cause no one is going to give you flavors remotely close to that. Now I wouldn't say HHV is "old fashioned tobacco," but I will say that they are probably the most unique tobacco juices on the market. As to whether or not they are the most authentic is neither here nor there, they are in a class of their own!

p.s. Does Huntsman kick ....? Heck yeah!

 

[gthompson]

Gandalf, Huntsman, and Dark Horse are the closest thing to "straight tobacco" in the HHV lineup, and Gandalf bobs and weaves a lot. When talking about HHV tobaccos, I much prefer Mann's "exotic tobacco" description than "straight tobacco". GeJ is much more "straight tobacco" (to me).

Fire cured is another i have steeping but have not tried yet. I also have Acadian, Patriot and organic steeping that I haven't tried yet. I

am waiting on some mop head tanks I ordered from HHV to get here so I can try them on a fresh tank.

I love gandalf, huntsmen, darkhorse and shadowfax. Just to give an example of flavors I enjoy. I will gladly take recommendations on

stuff to try. I just really thought I would like vita bella.

 

[gthompson]

I just really thought I would like vita bella.

Put it away for a couple of weeks or so. It will get better. It becomes a very tobacco-y Shadowfax after awhile.

 

[scarf-ace]

Fire Cured is a classic example of "be careful what you wish for". It tastes like strong, harsh campfire smoke. I hope a steep will mellow it out because right now I'm afraid someone will call the fire department if I vape it in public

 

[gthompson]

I remember when I thought Boba's tasted like tobacco.

 

[scarf-ace]

GJ4 first thoughts here.

 

[Zack nash]

Well I'm just really glad y'all reviewed these flavors. Until I tried HHV based on these reviews I was not really happy with the stuff I was vaping. My order from Ahlusion has shipped and I have Blue Grass Burley , Devil Dog! and Smooth Criminal on the way!!!

 

[Lt. Col. Killjoy]

GJ4 and Vita Bella need to be well steeped, and I'm talking Eleanor type steeped. Not that they aren't good out of the box, and I'd certainly try them out of the box, but they both get a lot better after a few weeks. The rest need very little steeping IMO.

I think I should have taken a class at the Eleanor School of Steeping. I always thought that 3 weeks was the longest any juice would need.

 

[gthompson]

Mann recommends 6 weeks for GJ4.

 

[Lt. Col. Killjoy]

Mann recommends 6 weeks for GJ4.

In that case my bottle has about three more to go.

 

[scarf-ace]

A kind lizard has informed me that my Ahlusion has shipped too. So I am expecting TPR this week, HHV next week, and Ahlusion probably the week after that

His friends call him "Sparky!"

 

[scarf-ace]

Oh and I cannot refer to Vita Bella as VB since those initials are common slang for Victoria Bitter, a particularly insipid local beer. Think Rolling Rock, or worse, Rolling Rock Light It is Vita to me.

Hell, the KB7 from Vermillion is probably 8 weeks+, but the payoff is huge. Next time I get a free sample form a friend that is a month old, but it takes me a month to fall in love, I should do the quick calculations before ordering. Sheesh!
