The Plume Room Tobaccos

[Jerms]

Hi! Welcome to my thoughts and opinions on The Plume Room (TPR) line of tobaccos. I have had all of them except Menthol Type. They are 10ml bottles (M Type and Honey-Fig Tobacco were 5ml) at 18mg nic and 50/50 or 70/30 vg/pg. They were received at the end of November so are well steeped. Most are at least half vaped so these will be more concrete opinions than what I'm currently doing with my AiV thread. I will posting on the flavors here based on my overall impressions on different atties and will currently be vaping them on a Dream RBA during these reviews. The packaging, customer service, and generosity of Adrea from TPR is outstanding and can be read about in other threads.

I love most of these juices so most of these will be positive reviews. I can see these not working for everyone, but work well for me. Feel free to post comments, opinions, criticism, sarcasms, and flirtations at any time. This will probably take at least a week before I write up on all flavors. On with the juice...

This line of tobaccos is made with house extracted tobacco, tobacco absolute, tobacco extract, and/or artificial tobacco flavors. I'm not totally sure which contains what but will comment what I do know. My descriptions (described as..) are a highly condensed version of the actual description on the website.

M Type With Natural Tobacco, described as.. cigarette type (Marlboro) made with natural tobacco extract. I don't remember much of this juice, as the bottle was vaped up pretty quickly, so obviously I liked it. I do remember it was a more straight up tobacco that had a very good (thinking maybe it was slightly sweet too?) flavor. Definately will reorder.

Smooth & Mild Tobacco Blend, described as.. lightly sweetened with a hint of tobacco. This is one of the two that I've heard from a reputable source are totally flavored with artificial tobacco flavor. I'm not surprised, doesn't remind me of any NET I've had. What surprises me more is how much I REALLY like this flavor. I disagree with Andrea's description on the site as a hint of tobacco. I get a very pronouced tobacco-like taste. I didn't smoke cigars, except for the occasional cheap mass produced one. This one has me thinking of the flavor of something like a Swisher Sweet when you lick your lips afterwords and get that distinctive sweet taste. The sweetness is very low in this juice. It has this flavor that seems both very familiar yet hard to place for me. It went from kind of interesting to I love this juice. It's a flavor that when I think about it I crave it and works great for long vaping sessions. Everytime I pick it up I'm in the mood for it. Most definately a reorder and it will be a while before I want to move on from this juice.

Candied Cavendish described as.. Cavendish-cut Virginia tobacco extract with fruit essence. This is a very unique juice that I enjoyed from the beginning, and grow to like it more as time goes on. I would consider it the flavor with the most mass appeal, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to someone who normally doesn't like tobacco flavors. With my other atties, I got from the fruit mainly banana runt flavor that was very well done. In my RBA right now I'm getting more of a banana-nut bread. It's a sweet banana, with some deep and rich ovetones. It's creamy with almost a hint of nut, which may come from the tobacco. It all comes together in a very pleasant flavor that can easily be vaped for long periods. As much as I enjoy the overall profile I have one complaint. I wish the tobacco would make a stronger appearance. It is there, but plays more off the banana than having it's own statement. I can see how others might prefer it that way, and might be a part of why it comes together so well, but as a personal preference I usually prefer in NET hybrids that the tobacco takes center stage.

Burley & Candy, described as.. extracted Burley tobacco with hints of fruit. Unlike the other two fruit/tobac hybrids, which my opinion changed and varied as time went on, this one I've felt about the same about the whole time. I really like this juice. It stood out from the get-go. The tobacco is much more present for me than the Candied Cavendish. It's a smooth Burley with a little bit of muscle. The "candy" part of it is just unbelievably well matched. It's sweet, fruit sweet, but not a specific fruit that I can pick out. It compliments the Burley in a way that feels they were meant to be together. I like to think that when Andrea was making this juice she thought "well, I did this one perfectly." The "candy" comes out on the exhale and rounds it out to make it one of my favorite in the line.

Good reviews Jerms. I haven't had the opportunity to get to TPR's offerings yet and look forward to trying them in the future and reading the rest of your thoughts and reviews.

 

[Jerms]

Thanks Hula!

Honey-Fig House Extracted Tobacco, described as.. Virginia tobacco with honey and fig. This is probably the most unique of these tobaccos, and is the first time I had fig in a vape. I found the fig overwhelming at first, but as I've adapted to the fig the other flavors have had a chance to shine.

The tobacco is mellow and somewhat cigarettish. Not the ashy taste of a burning cig but the light tobacco flavor that's under it. The last flavor to come out for me was the honey. Now that I recognise it, I wonder how I missed it. It's rich and flavorful with a little sweetness. Some hits I even get a brief sensation of a drop of honey landing on my tounge.

Overall, HFT a great juice to grab to mix things up. Very original, very unique, and very creative. It's not the best juice for mindless vaping, but one that is enjoyed contemplating over the different flavors. It's complexity makes each vape a little different.

That's it for the hybrids. If you want to try TPR it's these three; Candied Cavendish, Candy & Burley, and Honey-Fig, that I consider the must tries. The creativity shines with these juices and is what sets TPR apart for me. I'm pretty sure the tobacco in the hybrids is of the naturally extracted type, so they would make a great into to someone wanting to try NETs.

I have a couple cigars, a menthol, and a Turkish with a twist remaining, but for now I'm going to go back to reviews of my AiV samplers so that will happen in a few days. Thanks for reading, any comments appreciated!

Jerms, thanks. Don't know if you want to try other flavors, but would be interested in your take on Vanilla Caramel Frappuccino.

I do! That one, PB Creme Pie, and Blueberry Cream are on my list for non-tobaccos when I order again from TPR. The Frapp I've heard a lot of great things about and am really excited to try.

I LOVE TPR!. There - I said it. I'm glad it's out in the open. I agree 100% about the Smooth & Mild. It may not be a NET, but it has the most realistic tobacco flavor of any juice I've tried (I haven't yet tried a straight-up tobacco NET, though). I used to smoke Nat Sherman MCDs - very deep, full-flavored tobacco wrapped in a slightly sweet paper. The Smooth & Mild reminds me of them, or what I remember them tasting like, anyway.

The trick with the Candied Cavendish, I think, is heat. You don't have to crank up the volts, but I've found that the tobacco becomes more pronounced toward the middle of a vaping 'session' when the atty gets nice and warm. Now, I tend to hold the button down for a second or two before before vaping, and it makes a big difference in bringing out the flavor of the tobacco.

The Candy & Burly is still steeping, so I haven't tried it yet. The Honey-Fig owns me, body and soul. And I'm okay with that.

 

[Jerms]

Thanks for your comments Lavaca! Glad to see I'm not the only one who holds the Smooth and Mild in high regard. There's just something about it that ALWAYS works for me when I vape it. It's different than any other artificial tobacco I've had.

I'll try your advice with the CC. I usually don't stray much from around 8 watts so I'll experiment with other settings. I tend to hit the button right when I start pulling so I'll also try your way with it. I think one reason I am picky on the tobacco coming through is my other favorite hybrids have been from Goodejuice, and the tobacco is very present in those. I also vape a lot of pure strong NETs from Ahlusion. Walking through their aromatic line makes all other tobaccos weaker by comparison lol.

Ahlusion is at the top of my vendors-to-try list. I think their honey cured will be my first foray.

I haven't had the honey cured yet, but if it's like their other aromatics, be ready for a REALLY strong tobacco. If you do try honey cured, I would suggest trying one of their non-aromatics too. They are also NETs, but with milder and more neutral tobacco. One of those would be Jungle Juice (which I haven't had) which is a banana flavored Cavendish tobacco like TPRs Candied Cavendish. Be interesting to compare the two.

The most original and creative tobaccos from TPR was those three fruit/NET hybrids. There are also three cigar flavors, and those are the ones I've been vaping through quicker. The first one I covered was Smooth & Mild, and is probably my favorite artificial tobacco vape. The next two, which I also really enjoy, I'm guessing are artificial cigar flavor/NET hybrids. If I'm wrong please correct me.

Ramaglia's Toscano Gold, described as.. house-extracted tobacco and Italian cigar. Ramaglia is the vendor's last name, and Toscano describes an Italian Cigar. I know little about cigars, but based on this juice I would guess Italian Cigars are funky. Or, by using her last name, it's Andrea who provides the funk. I like funky tobacco juices.. sometimes. When I'm in the mood, I REALLY like it and nothing else will quite hit the spot. When I'm not in the mood I briefly think yuck and move on. By funky, I mean this musty, pungent, smell found in such things as skunks, old socks, and dirty hippies. The website uses the term "bittersweet" in the description, which I also find accurate. Like my other favorite funky juice, Natural Perique from Goodejuice, this juice gets funkier as it ages. To me, that's ideal, because when I'm in the mood, the funkier the better. This juice really brings the funk.

TPR Cuban Cigar, described as.. bold, robust, smooth cigar. This one was my favorite at the beginning, and has held it's own quite well. Not funky like RTG and not as consistently appealing as S&M. It's always an enjoyable vape though and a couple times when I've grabbed it it gave me a wow, I needed this. It has a pretty stong flavor, and almost a hint of what I find in S&M. It's slightly sweet, and sometimes carries a brightness not found in the other two. While not funky, it is slightly pungent. The website description of bold, robust, smooth really nails it.

The last two I'll talk about are my least favorite, but both offer something that might make them ideal for a lot of people.

Arctic Cowboy Artisan, described as.. tobacco with vanilla and mint. This one is the other all artificial flavored tobacco. After getting into NETs, the artificial, aka lab made, tobaccos need to be really special for me to get into them. That's exactly what the Smooth & Mild provided, but this one didn't. Don't get me wrong, it's actually really well made and highly vapeable, just lacks the excitement of Andreas other juices. It's a very smooth lab tobacco flavor with no off or chemical tones. The vanilla isn't exceptional, but is creamy and well incorporated. The mint is light, which is a plus, and is actual mint instead of menthol. I really have a lot of good to say about the juice, I just don't have an urge to grab for it often. This will be one of the last I finish off, but I wouldn't be surprised if it grabs me more when the more exotic of these juices aren't in reach.

Toasted Turkish Twist, described as.. Turkish with toasted notes and a high kick in the end. I've had some varying opinions on this, from curious to intrigued. During the last day my opinion has just been, I do not like this juice. What makes it curious soons turn into just unpleasant for me when trying to do a long vape session. It's hard to peg what the "twist" is. I've heard citrus, grape, strawberry etc. I don't get fruit, mainly just tangy. Almost chemically tangy to me. I also get hints of nut, mainly peanut, that I like but the tang just takes over. I will occasionally go to this bottle to see if it's improved for me, and will be sure to update if that happens.

That's it for the TPR tobaccos. I had a lot of fun doing this, mainly because these are highly unique and consistantly vapeable juices. TPR is a vendor that I will automatically want to try any new tobaccos as they get added. Next on my list is to dive into Andrea's non-tobacco creations, which I expect are done equally as well as the tobaccos. Thanks for reading!

Great job Jerms. I am a devoted fan of Candied Cavendish and Honey Fig Tobacco. I also like the Ramaglia's Toscano. In non-tobaccos I have been VERY impressed with Buttery Cinnamon Sweetroll and Creamy Mint, the latter especially because I tend to dislike mints. I eagerly look forward to her new creations.

Thanks Scarf. I WILL try the Buttery Cinnamon Sweetroll based on your recommendation, cinn deserves another chance from me. Creamy Mint I might get a big bottle of and have Andrea thin it for me, to use as a carto vape.

I love the plume room! Especially candied cavendish, which to me tastes almost exactly like golden Graham's cereal. I have been super busy lately, so I haven't done any new reviews recently, but I do have almost the entire plume room line waiting patiently for me to review them. This is one of my top vendors, and I appreciate the time you took to review these excellent flavors and get the word out about this fantastic vendor that all should try! Good job!
