I have to say that Highbrow is, so far, the highest quality juice and the most friendly+helpful service I have encountered thus far. I am allergic to PG, so it can often be difficult to find stout flavors in 100% VG. The only thing that can be considered a draw back is that, YES!, your Highbrow juices need to steep for at least a week or two before they reach peak flavor. This is even more important (pretty much a requirement) for their more delicate flavors i.e Pure Pear, Orange de Sangre, etc. I list those two because the reviews spoke of "biting into a fresh (insert fruit here), just like the real thing!" When I got my juices from them the first time I dug right in. ZERO flavor for the fruits, minimal for the menthol. So, I ordered several more juices from several more vendors, but one night picked up the Orange (which had the most five star reviews). Talk about night and day. That juice went from no flavor (maybe it had a hint of "essence"), no smell, to a robust, juicy orange flavor that makes me wonder how they achieved it. Then I tried all of the other flavors and...EUREKA! It took about two and a half weeks for these juices to reach their peak. I am curious to those who have had Highbrow juices for several months: Do the flavors get more intense the longer you have them? or do they peak after a certain amount of days?

So it sounds like there is hope for my French pipe...i will set it aside for a couple of weeks and try it again.

I find it matches the flavor of what I remember that a real pipe tobacco with a touch of cherry actually tasted like... of course everyone can have a slightly different opinion on taste... so hopefully a bit more steep and you will find something you like

Has anyone tried the Tiramisu? I so want to find a good chocolate

I have. It is excellent -- Actually tastes like a good tiramisu, right down to the espresso-soaked ladyfingers/sponge cake!

I steeped mine for 4 weeks, which is my norm. I suggest you let all your HBV juices steep at least 2 weeks, and even longer for the tobaccos. Your patience is always rewarded! :)
