    Ok, but does it smell horrid like something is rotten? I am getting a horrible smell from my bottle. Worse than sour milk, so I need to know if I got a bum bottle. Or is suppose to smell like that?

    Thanks
    :)

    I didn’t sniff it. I’ll check later.

    I'm glad you got the Stixx Tea. Now you can tell me about it. I got 3 baccys. Looked at the tea but didn't want to spend the money not knowing anything about it.

    The Pink Guava is a really good flavor.
    I like the turners tea. Reminds me to put that on the remix list for tomorrow. Today is cooking for my daughters freezer so they won’t “starve” after the baby arrives. I have a couple of days cooking real food before I can mix

    Yes,I know what you mean but vapor is vapor. It's really a heavier taste perception but I guess mouth feel is shorter:lol:
    It’s all in our weird taste buds. You’re lucky. To me, custards leave what feels like the tongue coating you get from fresh heavy cream. I shied away from all cream or dessert flavors in commercial juices because I hated the sensation/mouth feel

    VT Light Rum and FA Jamaican Rum.
    I have ONE of those coming. Think it’s the light rum?? The one you recommended :blink:... I’m half wayish through the cooking bonanza. So far have packaged for her freezer: 4 roasted chickens, 4 chicken pot pie casseroles, 3 roast and gravies, 6 3c freezer bags of homemade mac and cheese. Made the hubs a fresh peach and blueberry cobbler for staying out of the way. Tomorrow is a ham ( note the pre-bribe ;) ... hubs will have to run it through the slicer for me), chicken enchiladas, 4 meatloafs and 12 stuffed potatoes. THEN I can mix juice, if I have the energy!

    If they have a smoker, you could do a pork shoulder for pulled pork. It’s pretty inexpensive and goes a long way.

    I have a large smoker, and a stack of citrus and nut woods. I may do a .... roast... Great idea!!! Just hate running the smoker in this heat and humidity. When the girls were young, my MIL and I would put 4 turkeys on and sit up all night. That was fun, but I need my beauty sleep these days :lol:

    Careful, I do have your address.
    I ain’t skeered :shock:. Just stay out of the nic stash in the pantry freezer and we’ll get along fine!

    I finished up two testers during my cooking marathon. I need to go make notes on them before I forget. Too tired lol. Somehow my blackberry isn’t on my stash list ( imagine that, as I am ever so organized :rolleyes:). I’d like to try a different brand to compare. This one is very floral and deep

    Yes, I took the cap off and sniffed it. It smells rancid. I’m glad I didn’t smell it before I tried it. I might not have.

    Well,instead of complaining about my not yet steeped mixes I decided to go for another try at the already steeped stuff. I had a cheesecake mix that I called White Cheeze nuts cause it's all I could think of. Just a rather simple white chocolate, cheesecake and nuts. I'd already vaped a little of it here and there.It was really slacking on tasty flavor and I have a better White Chocolate Cheesecake so I dumped it. Next was my boozy tea.Who would ever think such a mix would benefit from more steeping? The Whiskey especially had nicely mellowed out. I like it better than before. Going to try to do another couple tomorrow and weed out sub par mixes.
