Inawera Tobacco Absolute Cuban Cigar WG

Setup: (#1) Geekvape Tsunami 24mm; 7 wrap 24/32awg kanthal dual claptons @ .32Ω; cotton wicks; 60 W

(#2) Smok TFV8 T10 engine coil; .12Ω; 110 W

Testing: Inawera - Tobacco Absolute Cuban Cigar WG @ 3%; Aged: 4 weeks

Flavor description: Straight off, this flavor tastes like a legitimate dirty burning cigar. It has the wet leaf wrap, the shredded cigar tobacco, and the ever so slight ashy aftertaste. I would put this right in the middle of the spectrum dark/light wise as far as tobaccos go, for it is a slightly dark, slightly light tobacco that carries a surprising bit of moisture. It also has a slight leathery back note, which is expected with some tobaccos.

Off-flavors: Nothing really off here, it tastes a lot like vaping an average priced cigar.

Throat hit: 7/10 decently rich @3%, likely a lot less if used as an accent.

Uses: Standalone 3% it's legit, 4% I haven't tested, but with other INW tobaccos, I would imagine this getting numbingly richer. This would also work at 0.5-1% to round out something weaker like FA Cuban Supreme or another mild tobacco flavor in your arsenal.

Pairings: Milder tobaccos, tobacco additives, vanilla, brown sugar, caramel, butterscotch, coffee, maybe some light cream if you want to tone it down.

Notes: This leaves a filmy residue in my dropper bottle as well as my tank, still noticeable after the 4 week mark. I question its health risks due to the residue, but it is tasty if you're a tobacco head. It tastes slightly funky before a decently long steep, but the wait turns over a whole different realm of taste. I would recommend a full 3 week steep minimum before you judge this flavor, maybe even 4+.
