T_Mace
Specs:
- percentage used: 3%
- 18 day steep
- PG/VG ratio: 50/50
- vaped on NarDA rda, A1 Kanthal, 24 gauge, spaced coil, 0.74 ohm, 12-18 watts
Flavor Properties:
- bright
- light
- citrus-y
- slightly sweet
- medium dryness
Relatable Flavors:
- mostly citrus notes (like a ripe tangerine but don't get confused, this is not an "orange" flavor, very much still a tobacco)
- anise on the tail end of the exhale (not a candied black liquorice type, more like Sambuca)
- grassy Virginia tobacco in the base notes, not strong but ever present
Mouth Feel:
- light density
Off Flavors:
- none
Position In A Recipe:
- personally, I would use this low in the mix to brighten up a leafy base
- most common application would probably be as a top dressing in pipe tobacco blends
Suggested Percentage:
- 1-2% for background
- if you want this in the front, 3-6%
Pairings:
- dark tobaccos like FLV Red Burley, INW Dark For Pipe, etc
- would pair well with FLV Native Tobacco or Kentucky if you want to strengthen the spicy notes in those two
Conclusion:
- This is an aromatic pipe tobacco flavoring. Aromatic tobaccos have what's called "toppings" such as cherry, vanilla, citrus, etc.
- Use this accordingly to make a medium bodied pipe blend.
- Not much more to say, if this was a main note in a mix, I would enjoy puffing it for a few hours a day but it's not an adv ingredient for me. However, mixed at very low % in a leafy blend, this could add a bit of character and give some interesting personality to the recipe. I'll definitely be toying with this one.
