Petner's Pipe by River Bottom Fog Sauce (RBFS) available online at www.vapingwatch.com
The juice: Described on site as, "A Burley and Virginia tobacco blend enveloped in raisins and rum."
The Hardware: Mech with Origen V2 dripper, 1.06 ohm micro coil of 28ga Kanthal, Koh Gen Do wick.
Ratings are from 1-5 depending on where a juice falls in an attributes spectrum. Only the last rating, "overall", is based on 5 being the best. (For sweetness 1 equals very dry and 5 equals very sweet. For tobacco impact 1 equals very mild tobacco and 5 equals very aggressive and/or complex.)
Sweetness: 2.5. Several of RBFS's new NETs are delicious, but require a bit of a sweet tooth to enjoy. Petner's Pipe is one of the exceptions, offering a drier tobacco experience that's lighter on the casings and flavorings. The mild sweetness offered is natural and pleasant.
Tobacco Impact: 4. Burley and Virginia tobaccos make up this blend. For me the Burley makes a stronger presence, offering bulkier woodsy and nutty notes, with Virginia's greener leafy notes being more subtle. Normally I'd prefer the Virginia to dominate, but the way the rum raisin flavor interacts with the Burley notes has me think the person who came up with this pipe blend made the right choice.
Vapability: 5. This is a tobacco heavy aromatic pipe blend that more than satisfies the tobacco itch. I'm often in the mood for a straight-up or lightly flavored, lightly sweet tobacco, and I haven't been disappointed reaching for this yet. No loss of flavor notes during longer vape sessions, always a plus.
Flavor Accuracy: (no score). I'm guessing Petner's Pipe tastes like rum raisin pipe tobacco is suppose to taste like; I haven't had a different vendor's version to compare it to and have never smoked a pipe. It doesn't taste like I expected. No, it's much better than that. I was expecting a sweeter and heavier cased pipe tobacco with obvious rum and raisin. Instead, the rum raisin flavor enhances the tobacco without being separate. There's a meaty, chewy texture that to my guess is from how the raisin and Burley interact, and that flavor-feel raises this from a solid tobacco to something unique and special for me.
Overall: 4.5. Petner's Pipe is another fantastic addition to RBFS's wonderful line of NETs. If you don't fancy the idea of rum and raisin flavored tobacco, don't be scared off from trying this because those flavors aren't obvious here or make for an odd flavor. As mentioned, I find the chewy, meaty quality to be a real treat, and it's overall a very fine pipe tobacco experience. Highly recommended to all pipe NET aficionados.
