Simulating a "hava tampa" cigar

[Tiger_Style]

My girlfriends father had a heart attack last year...and he has been secretly smoking ever since. He smokes Hava Tampa cigars. I told her I would give him a kit to best try and simulate a hava tampa.

Any thoughts or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Hello,
You may want to look into dekang's black tobacco, cohiba, french pipe, of 555. You can find dekang eliquid at places like hoosierecigs, ecigbestsave .com. these have a cigar/pipe tobacco edge with just a hint of sweet.

As a former have tampa jewel guy....well...they were really enjoyable. That said they had a whallop, lots of nic...has to be bad for a guy with ticker problems. I might suggest a sweet tobacco juice and maybe add a drop of chocolate to the mix. Other thing you might consider is that the beechwood tip is iconic and part of the experience...maybe grab a few of his discards, remove the tips and try to retrofit a cart into the tip (assuming you use a cart)...I suspect it might work with a cut rubber cap that comes on the carts to use as a gasket....

Or he may just dig it as it is...worked for a couple cigar guys I know.

Good Idea!!
Seems the tip is part of the experience. Would be cool to find some wooden tips.

PM me with your address and I might be able to dig up some unused ones...probably a couple anyway if I dig in the back of one of my cabinets...

I would make an NET extract from chopped up real cigars, and make juice from that. The NETs I've made from Fuente, El Rey del Mundo, Santa Damiana, and Partagas cigars have all turned out astoundingly well, and taste as close to the real thing you can get without actually lighting one up.

There is a great thread here on ECF on making your own NET extracts using a crock pot. If you are up to DIY, you might look into it.

That does sound interesting. I'll look it up. Thanks!!

Okay, Well...after some research, I've decided to try the NET..as well as a couple alternatives.

Now on to the PV...What PV would best simulate a little cigar?
