Setup: Lycan RDA by Cigreen; single twisted 24awg @ .40Ω; cotton wicks; 45W
Testing: INW Dark for Pipe @ 3%; Aged: 27 days
Flavor description: Prominently dark and moist pipe tobacco with a bit of a dry rolling tobacco in the background. Heavier notes of dark chocolate over subtle notes of sweet honey and delicate spices blend in well with the robust tobaccos to create a rather earthy, rich, and complex blend of taste.
Off-flavors: Not getting anything off-tasting here.
Throat hit: 4/10 Noticeable yet rather smooth.
Uses: Great in a base for a tobacco recipe 1-4%. At lower percentages (<0.5%), I can see this being included in select bakery blends without over-powering it with tobacco taste.
Pairings: Chocolate, honey, nuts, vanilla, oak, maple, dark or dry fruits, alcohol (flavorings or actual cocktails)
Notes: As with most tobaccos, this flavor is going to require at least 3 weeks of steep time for all of the nuances to come out. It holds its own as a standalone for someone wanting something reminiscent of tobacco without much of an ashy taste.
