Inawera Peanut Tobacco

Setup

Narda single 26/32 Clapton .7 ohms, 40 watts

Testing

INW Peanut Tobacco @3% steeped 2 months

Description

Earthy raw peanut. I don't really detect any Acetyl Pyrazine. It's calmed down quite a bit since I first mixed it. The raw peanut taste, while still there, has let a subtle sweetness come through a bit more. To be honest, I preferred it more around 2 weeks old. I have used, and will probably continue to only use this as an accent. It finds its way to the front of a mix pretty easily, so I suggest starting low. I had to back off from 1% down to .5% in one mix because it was all I could taste. So maybe start at .5% and go up from there.

Recommended Pairings

Tobaccos. I've got this in a Burley NET and it's probably my favorite juice right now. Artificial Burley, I'm not too sure about. Maybe FLV Red Burley, but I haven't tried that yet. Should work well with any earthy tobacco though. Probably work in a 555 or RY4 type of mix as well, but it's not going to be your typical sweet dessert type.

Other nuts

Anywhere a peanut would fit. Maybe a sundae recipe? I tried it, but I can't really stand vanilla anymore, so I didn't like it.

Wood/earthy flavors. I use it with FA Oakwood in that Burley NET. Nice combo.

Off Notes

I'd say that the sweetness I'm starting to get from it this far in to the steep is an off note, but it's not really bad. I just really liked it when it didn't have any sweetness.

Notes

It's called Peanut Tobacco, but I don't really get the Tobacco part. I think it's a good friend to tobaccos, but you'll need to add a Tobacco to the mix. Although maybe that creeping sweetness could possibly taste like a sweet Virginia or Flue Cured, I still wouldn't rely on it to carry the tobacco note. It's more peanut than anything.
