:lol: Fermenting socks? Must be an acquired taste... Or perhaps I just haven't got the proper starter culture for my socks in the hamper! :p

The 555 I received from Pure Smoker tastes like graham crackers with warm milk. Not quite like the 555 State Express analogs, but not unpleasant. If you like RY4/Riskee, you'd probably enjoy 555.

RY4 is difficult to describe. It's kindasorta tobacco-ish but there's a caramel flavour, maybe with a little dark cherry or chocolate and I taste hints of liquorice/aniseed. Very rich and rounded, and entirely awesome.

Edit: I wasn't entirely kidding about the socks. It's honestly the best description I can come up with.

Oh damnit! Now I know why I like RY4 so much! It does taste just like Riskee Yuice!

Kick e-liquid makes a good 555. I like it because it's tobacco like and not so sweet.

Of course, the fermented socks do give it an odd flavor...

Ok, here is how subjective flavor is. I do not taste tobacco in the 555 blend. To me, it is a mildly dark flavor with a slightly sweet, nutty taste. I like 555, but detest RY4. To me, RY4 is too heavily saturated in flavor, almost like a dark bourbon, where you only get a very thick, heavy flavor and no sweet until afterwards, when you are contemplating whether or not you like it. My personal preference is fruit flavors, apple is my favorite so far. With actual fruit, though, apple is boring to me, I would prefer melons, and mango, and pineapple - something bold.

Yes, it is a brand of cigarettes that's been around since forever (although I don't know that you can still buy them lol).

A little bit of trivia: The reason why Subaru Rally Cars sport the number "555" on the side of their rally cars is because they used to be sponsored by the cigarette company. Now the number has just stuck and that's what they are recognized for.
