"cured with heat transmitted through a flue without exposure to smoke or fumes"

Some "flue-cured" flavor tobacco juices will also have honey or honey and nut like "honey flue cured"

And FYI

RY4 is a caramel vanilla tobacco which may or may not be sweet
555 is a vanilla almond/nutty tobacco which may or may not be sweet
Desert Ship is a Turkish blend - nutty and a bit pungent (reminds me of a freshly opened pack)

Don't know the diffrence betw. flue cured or reg. tobacco flavor

In most juices, theres no actual tobacco... only flavorings. I said most because some juices uses flavors that are actually extracted from tobacco. The short answer is... the difference is in the flavoring!

In the tobacco world, "flue cured" is a way of curing... curing is the process by which the plant gets from a plant in the ground to a smoke-able tobacco

"Flue cured tobacco was originally strung onto tobacco sticks, which were hung from tier-poles in curing barns (Aus: kilns, also traditionally called Oasts). These barns have flues run from externally-fed fire boxes, heat-curing the tobacco without exposing it to smoke, slowly raising the temperature over the course of the curing. The process generally takes about a week. This method produces cigarette tobacco that is high in sugar and has medium to high levels of nicotine."
