Flavour Art Perique Black

Setup: Goon LP, dual SS316L fused claptons 26/34 @.13 ohms, 80w power, 420F temp limit, full cotton wicks.

Testing: FA Perique Black @3%, 70/30, steeped for one month

Flavor Description: Are candied Bell Peppers a thing? that's the most noticable thing about this flavor right away. it isnt very strong, and considering how gross it sounds, its actually not unpleasant at all. it reminds me mostly of smoking a cigar, the way that the spice kinda builds up if you puff away at it. There is an earthiness here that is rather subtle. i was really hoping for something similar to American Spirit Black cigarettes (my old cigs) but this needs a ton of help to get there...

Off-flavors: sweet bell pepper...

Throat hit: not very harsh, but not perfectly smooth either

Uses and Pairings: the only things i can think of are 1. small amounts to bring some realism to your cigar recipe and 2. that candied pepper recipe you always wanted to try, but were too afraid to attempt. i would suggest starting at .5-1% in a mix with other tobaccos and try it solo first to see what you get out of it.

Second opinions found here: opinions range all over the place from analog cig to "just chemicals"

Edit: added a little description to the flavor description.
