newbie vs p-38

[seebo]

has anyone tried both? i have tried P-38 and enjoyed it, going to pickup another 30ml bottle, but wondering how much difference in menthol between the two. does the newbie have a nice menthol kick or is it a lot more subtle? it is more/less tobacco flavor than the p-38? wish they had small sample bottles to buy when you place an existing order.

edit; probably not ordering after all, no more 30ml bottles after i tired checking out.. they were there yesterday.

To me the newbie has more of a mint flavor than a menthol.

thanks. ended up scrapping the newbie as i ended up buying just 3 separate 10ml bottles of p38 because i was unlucky by not ordering it yesterday when i saw them available (was out of town). couldn't justify spending $55 on 4 10ml bottles with the $6 shipping charge.

Hi Seebo,

I'm too lazy to check your figures to know wether of not you know about the discount code: ECF gets you 10% off. Also, 75 order or above gets you free shipping. Once you find your favorites, it's easy (too easy) to hit $75.

I've tried both P-38 and Newbie. P-38 is far more mint than tobacco and Newbie is the opposite IMHO.
Also, it never hurts to ask Ms. Chris to throw in a little sample on your next order.

There's no doubt that the larger bottles of P-38 will be up soon. Jerry (lead and probably only lab man) is just catching up after being under the weather.

P-38 to me has less tobacco flavor as well. I don't actually like P-38 straight - instead I prefer to mix it with Virginia, which comes out different than Newbie (can't really describe, just different...) Lately I've taken to mixing P-38 with GI Joe Oddly, I always hated menthol cigarettes ...

The scoop on the Menthol P-38 30 ml bottles. My ability to put 30mls in the store is dependent on the production quantity that is made. I want to make sure that all that want that flavor gets a chance to snag a few bottles. When there is sufficient quantity made, I pour 4-5 30mls.
