mysticrosell
Percentage Used: 4%
Equipment Used: Troll RDA with a wickless single SS .8 ohm Clapton coil at 20W.
PG/VG: 30/70
Steep Time: 6 Days and 2 Weeks
Aroma: sweet, nutty, oak, smokey leaf.
Flavor Description: At a 6 day steep this tobacco is mild with a moderately sweet toasted leaf, faintly ashy with maybe a hint of vanilla, nut and wood (oak?). I'm wondering if a higher percentage on this one might help strengthen the back notes, and it seems mild enough to bump up. I will wait to see how it steeps. After 2 weeks the flavor has deepened quite a bit, more medium strength than mild now. I'm tasting some type of dark fruit in the back that I didn't notice before. Cherry or plum maybe? The sweetness has stayed moderate with the longer steep. This has gone from a mild S&V to become a slightly heavier tobacco than the others, reminds me of a pipe tobacco. I still get an obvious vanilla flavor, followed by the fruit, backed with a very faint nut and wood note.
Off Flavors: Slightly ashy for the first week.
Throat Hit: 3/10
