This is a pretty comical thread. Taste is so subjective, it leaves me scratching my head in wonder. JC sure takes a beating here. I got their pg sampler and liked most of them. Well JC Original and Espresso are not for me, but have reordered from them several times.
I've had flue cured from a couple of vendors and rather like it, so I ordered some from CCV, as kind of an add-on to a carto order. It smelled very strange when I opened it but, knowing smell doesn't necessarily translate to taste, filled one of those new carto's. Wow! (big eyes glancing from side to side in disbelief) It really defies description, but I'll try; The liquid medicine taste they try to cover up with cherry, or whatever flavoring, combined with OLD beer. I mean opened, but never finished and been sitting out in the heat for weeks, old beer.
My wife and kids smelled it in the air and asked what was wrong, what is that? LOL My wife said she'd rather have me smoke cigarettes again. It's still steeping, but I'm afraid to try it again.
