Wow, lots of reading here- took me awhile to catch up.
I ordered my first NET a few weeks back from HHV- legend and dragon's fire. I had been vaping a synthetic tobacco blend (grey matter, mister e liquid... Which is still very good btw) and had no idea what I was getting myself into with HHV. I followed some instructions from the HHV army regarding steeping and left caps and drippers off for 48 hours, but steeping after that was nonexistent. I loved legend straight away, and probably vaped between 4-5ml per day until my large bottle was gone (2-3ml is normally my max). I love the taste, which for me is a nice dark cherry, and the smell reminded me of an uncle who smoked a pipe and always had a big bag of cherry tobacco in his end table. I used to bury my face in the bag when he would pack a fresh one.... Took me back for sure.
Dragon's fire was a different story for me. I didn't like it at all. While it seemed a bit "brighter" on the tobacco note, the taste of honey and cocoa seemed to come out for me the most. I was good for a vape or two, but I always ended up putting it down and picking up legend. I gave it a few weeks to steep, shake, test, put away. The flavor profile didn't seem to change much for me and it was time to move on. I recently gifted the bottle to a fellow vaper interested in NET. She loved it and placed an order the next week.
Second order was legend, and I wanted a lighter tobacco so I went for shadow and heavenly army as well. Shadow was a no-go for me right off the bat, flavor was hard to describe but it wasn't bad so I capped and put away. Heavenly army was good- very distinct vanilla sweetness and what I can only describe as a heavy buttercream undertone. I had also read that the creamy tones tend to fall off over time, but that has not been my experience so far. A couple of days ago (2 weeks steeping), the creaminess was getting to be a bit much for me and I decided to break out shadow for another try. Very similar to heavenly army in the respect of being a lighter, sweeter vape, but the creaminess was less noticable and it had more of a bright grassy note that I enjoyed. I also found that the two mixed together @ 50/50 was a very good combo, both liquids showing their best flavors at the perfect time.
I am by no means a connoisseur of liquids in general, NET especially, but I feel like natural tobaccos have so much more to offer in terms of flavor and they have quickly become a favorite.

I don't get cigar from Patriot at all, though. It's all pipe to me. At two weeks old here, I'm getting a lot of the cavendish and perique.
