Well, to be fair, the vast majority is the 10 bottle sampler but, yea - there is a ton there for sure.
I'll invite you to the lunch as well... get your people primed

Well, it's clear that they need more steeping... I don't think 4 hours will cover it
However, here goes anyway (lite version - I'll post more once they have steeped and make it more like a real review):
Overall, the realism in the W2V flavors is very high. Regardless of my personal taste preferences, I am pleased with the overall composition. I am including the coffee flavors here just because i tasted them tonight and they are in my notes
London - very peat heavy. Reminds me of aftertaste of a Islay scotch. I can taste the leaves and get the richness of the overall flavor - bit of smoke/campfire on the back end. looking forward to it opening up and the peat-iness dropping a bit.
Paris - Initially, way too much peat and smoke. I get the leathery taste that has been commented before. Not sure about this one...
Louiville - its like a grassier version of London. less peat than Paris but, it is still upfront. little smoother overall as well. overall, nice composition
CI Cigar - the coffee is muted almost non existent at the moment. I expect that will change once it opens up. Definitely earthy with a hint of grassy texture.
Alcazar - I've had cigars that taste exactly like this. very impressed. cant wait for it to steep
Morley - Not bad but, nothing earth shattering. There is a sharpness that I suspect will go away once it opens. There are hints of flavors that I know but cant quite put my finger on.
Analog Mild - heavy perfume. This is the first time I've had juice with floral overtones - it almost tastes of rose hips but, not quite. Hoping the tobacco flavors come out as it steeps
Blond - another that is very close if not exact to cigars I've had before. Very earthy, moderate grassiness, hint of peat but, not nearly as much as London or Louisville. This will be strange but, the exhale tastes just like a freshly mowed lawn smells... if that makes any sense.
Red Pirate - more of a 'natural' cigarette flavor similar to a Nat Sherman but with a bit more smoke/campfire. We'll see how it opens up.
555.5 - This one is strange to me... it's definitely a 555 but, with floral notes. The floral is very strong at the moment but i still get light bits of the other more standard 555 flavors.
Campfire Coffee - yep. tastes like coffee brewed on the campfire. it's one of the better coffees I've had and the smoke isnt too overpowering
Pure Smoke - this was added to the order. just no. absolutely not. (I intentionally tasted this last because I had a 'smoke' flavor from GeJ and hated it)
Creamy Espresso - Much less 'cream' than I thought there would be based on the name. The espresso side was muted though. It clearly needs more steeping.
Smoky Clove - hint of cinnamon, light smoke and floral notes. The best descriptor I can come up with for this one is it tastes like a stick of Big Red gum that has just lost its flavor and the cinnamon is no longer really there but is more of an aftertaste.
In addition to these, I got my order from Indigo Vapor (I didnt expect that until end of the week - i got the shipment notification on Sat). Along with my order of Duke, Kickback, and Eureka, they sent a sampler of Uncle Cutty.
Uncle Cutty tastes a lot like a 555 but, with fruit rather than the typical flavor high spots. I get a bit of tangerine on the inhale and melon on the exhale but, still in the 555 flavorset. It's interesting - I've not made up my mind whether I like it or not.
So yea, we'll see how these are in a few days and then in a few weeks
Oh - for reference, I vape a plain green tea between tastings generally - it does a good job of completely clearing the palate without leaving behind anything. If the flavors are especially heavy, I will use Ecto as well (I got one in my GeJ order and the almost 7up taste does well to 'cleanse' the pallet as well). I used both here and waited about 10 minutes (drinking plenty of water) between just to make sure I didn't 'bleed' any flavors.
Good job!.........
Thanks for sharing your impressions CW! Sounds like the coffee flavors might interest me, still don't plan on trying their synthetics. You didn't notice any coffee in CI Cigar because.. there is none. It's seperate from their Coffee-Infused Cigar (common mistake). CI stands for Cold Infusion, a cigar vape similar to Blond. Had to laugh at your reaction to PURE Smoke. There's a reason I don't recommend it even though I like it lol.

That is my bad - I do have the Coffee Infused Cigar... not just the CI Cigar. I didn't realize they had a CI Cigar... OOPS. I'll update my post.
And thanks guys - I appreciate the encouragement.
My favorite alcohols are red wine (specifically a good Malbec but, most reds are good) and highland scotch... this is very similar to doing those tastings and I am very much enjoying it - even if the flavors don't end up being in my arsenal long term, it is fun.
I think I can feel my bank account shuddering from here

Lol, no prob I've made that mistake too. Yeah even the Coffee Infused Cigar is light on the coffee notes. The cigar that it's extracted from has more of a coffee smell than taste, though there is some coffee and cocoa notes that are subtle. Be sure to try the CI Cigar if you order from them again, somewhat like Blond but even better to me. That one was my fav of the Premium tobaccos.

CannedWolf, I just wanted to say I loved the inclusion of the adjective "peat" in your description of Paris! Haven't seen that one before. You make me want to revisit that juice. I was enamored with Paris for its authenticity more so than the taste.
Thanks
That comes from scotch tasting and it happens that the flavor is very similar... it was the only thing that came to mind when I vaped it

That's one of those flavor discriptive words I'm unable to make a connection with. Is there another way to describe it? Any non-Scotch beverages or foods that has what would be called peaty notes? I wanna use it lol, but need to know what it is first.

Hi Vapero, From the colors on my screen, it doesn't look like they've steeped properly. Definitely give them a few shakes, tops off and try them in a week or so...
As to the Gold Mr. Mann references however.....

As popular as they are, if serendipity, legend and huntsman had been my first 3 HHV juices, I probably would never have tried all the ones I like.

Put that raspberry back in your mouth young lady!

For "peaty", think "earthy", or "dirty"....maybe "mulch"? LOL. Peat is actually partially decomposed plant matter. I can't think of anything else that is peaty-flavored except maybe some of the more expensive and exotic varieties of mushroom.
TPR will certainly get another order or two from me....esp. when they get the Honey Fig back in stock
I have Honey Fig in my AGI tank and it is pure unadulterated bliss. I would say it is 80% fig and 20% tobacco. Definitely the most realistic fig-flavored *anything* I have ever tasted. Just like eating one, without the annoying little seeds.
Thanks, that does help. I'm thinking, earthy with maybe some seaweed type greeness to it?

Definately in my top 10 favorite fig flavored juices
That really is a unique juice. When I got it I wasn't sure if I could even place what fig tasted like. Then I vaped it and was, yep, that's fig! When the bottle was almost gone I started to take notice to the hidden honey notes, which stood out in a good way when I found it.

Nice description.
When Scotch is distilled, Peat is actually used as fuel source (primarily in the Islay region) - there are peat bogs all over the place and it is a renewable energy source (since things decompose relatively frequently). The specific material that the peat is used to cook/heat/etc depends on the varietal of scotch but, it can be any part of the process from drying ingredients to intentionally smoking them to controlled temperature increase.
Just like when cooking fish on applewood or steak on cedar (or any other combination), the peat flavor is partially absorbed in the process.
I've had friends describe it as deep, dusky earth... and others as "how bandaids taste".
Dusky, damp, deep earthy, moist earthy are all words that I would use for it as well.
But yea Scarf-ace described it well.
Hot damn! We got another one. LOL. I can't wait to read more of your reviews.
