As I enjoy my GGTB and craft my own liquid, I have warned my wife that we need to spiff up the place so that I can receive guests in an appropriate setting.

Whilst I await the throngs of groupies, I'll have to settle for vooping on the only throne currently installed at the compound.

It is pretty funny that we formerly stinky smokers are now part of the vaping upper crust. This article makes a good point on how ridiculous it has gotten.

The first person I helped start vaping is an elderly woman suffering from COPD. I need to let her know she is now very cool.

My Five Pawns sample pack was ordered yesterday.
Sadly, no Castle Long Reserve as they were out of stock.
:(
If you want the Castle Long Reserve experience, Look up The Steam Company! Their Gentleman's Reserve is damn close. Just got mine yesterday, the more I vape it the more it reminds me of CLR. See thread here for comparisons. Also almost half the price!

Okay, I have to say, this is some damn good stuff...

--The Grandmaster is just freaking luscious, and I try never to use that word unless I have no other choice
--The Absolute Pin is interesting, and starts to grow on you
--The Gambit is okay, nothing special, but apple pie flavors always seem to fall short for me
--The Bowden's Mate is right up there with other chocolate mint flavors
--The Queenside is also pretty luscious, and I'm not really a fan of fruit or vanilla so much

This stuff is really, really good.
:)

I suspect there may be a bit of steeping left for some of these.
But Five Pawns said they should not need steeping, so I will go with that for now.

As far as the steeping thing goes...

I have definitely noticed that the Absolute Pin has become more complex in the last week.
And I really feel that Gambit can become more interesting over time as well.

The Bowden's Mate and Queenside are good from the start, and have not changed that I can tell.
The Grandmaster seems a bit more complex, but I'm not sure yet.
:)

Have now vaped both Bowden's Mate and Queenside. These are the first "complex" flavors I've liked enough to keep on vaping*, and Bowden's Mate (chocolate mint) ends my search for a good chocolate vape! Complex, yes, but the chocolate tickles the tastebuds and the mint is just right, not too much not too little.

Also got a sample of Gambit; haven't tried it yet. This will be a real test for complex flavors, as I've not liked any apple concoctions so far.

I'm sold. (Dang! Why do I always end up liking the most expensive of anything?) Looking forward to the new flavors!

ETA: *One exception, but that was made privately for me, not available on the market.
