What are the names of the juices you talking about?
It is not that they do not reproduce the flavor of a real thing correctly, it is as if all these different tobacco juices that come from different vendors have only two bases, which results in a very "flat" flavor profile. One base has a real pipe/cigar profile, with its main characteristic being the flavor of a peat. The other base does not even taste like tobacco and does not have that pipe/cigar peat flavor. The taste variations within each base are barely noticeable. Sure, perhaps all these tobacco juices accurately reproduce the real taste of something, something generic, say, a pipe tobacco "A" and a cigar tobacco "B," but that real taste is generic, "flat" and one dimensional.
In other words, these are not quality brand flavors that made certain tobacco brands very popular and instantly recognizable, such as Dunhill, Partagas, Cohiba, Davidoff, and many others.
Maybe the following example will make it clear what I am trying to say: Sure, I can taste the difference between, say the Devil Dog and London, for example, but both have a "flat," one dimensional flavor profile to begin with and the difference in flavor is that one is peatier than the other. There is nothing else going on in there, in my opinion. There is no depth of flavor in either of them. It is as if they are using the same base. In sharp contrast to this, in my opinion, it is pretty much impossible to confuse Dunhill and Davidoff, for example. A newbie might not know which one is which and might not know the brand names, but the flavors are very distinct, memorable, bold, and multidimensional with a lot of depth.
