Quickie unsteeped opinions of my newest W2V acquisitions. Both tested in XXXL clear dual-coil cartos because they are gentlest of all my available methods.
ALCAZAR. Site description:
"This inexpensive maduro cigar was introduced in 1998 and features a medium body. It is named after the famous race horse of the same name. Donley spent a lot of time perfecting a new extraction technique for this juice, and the lessons learned show in the end product. If all you've vaped is some flavoring company's artificial cigar flavoring squirted into some base, you are going to be shocked when you try Alcazar. It's a cigar vape on a whole new level. want2vape Alcazar is currently the closest you are going to get to smoking a maduro in a vape juice. Rich and dark, the lingering finish of this juice will make you think you just smoked a cigar."
I was expecting a big hairy beast of a liquid but this is really quite approachable: I find it marginally stronger and richer than the same company's Red Pirate: same toasty cereal-ish sweet body with a slightly more robust aftertaste. Having had limited experience with cigars (smoking them myself, that is--dad used to enjoy Excaliburs and Romeo y Julietas and I would inhale that glorious second-hand smoke), I can't even say for sure if this is an accurate representation. It is sweeter than the very solemn and austere Bella Valente by Halo, for instance, which is one of the few enjoyable (for me) liquids made with the unmistakeable "Fuzzy" texture of tobacco absolute. It is dark in color and flavor. I dig it.
KUBA KUBA: Wow. This is one complex, interesting vape. The tobacco is quite pungent, and is overlaid with an almost camphoraceous herbal greenness. I am feeling some pine in this, but not harsh Pine-O-Kleen floor-cleaner pine, rather a freshly snowed pine forest complete with woody and earthy tones. It does not have the awesome crazy throat hit of, say, Devil Dog or BGB but it is similarly flavorful and potent. (I am privately referring to DD as "gender reassignment surgery in a bottle"

Obviously a ladies' only joke.) Kuba
2 doesn't appear to be on Want2Vape's website. Perhaps it is another Vulcan exclusive like Rygar. (Those of you who have forgotten, Rygar is probably my favorite RY4 in what our comrade billherbst calls the "custom" family.)
I am very keen to see how these age. Pleased as always with Vulcan's service and shipping and free "Vape-Friendly" decals, one of which is pasted above my desk. Next order I will buy the Vapensteins, perhaps with my refund money from VV. Heh
