Comments on the packaging
To buy a Claude Henaux e-liquid is to enter a world of luxury and imagine all the pleasures that will result.
This pleasure of the senses begins with a conditioning above all suspicion. Haute couture glass bottle, simple corrugated cardboard box that enhances the beauty of the contents and all of the information required to satisfy the legitimate curiosity of the consumer. This is a mandatory prerequisite here. It is not a question of making an approximation or forgetting important data. The manufacturer holds his profession in high esteem and intends to claim the spirit of the craftsman that he is to satisfy his customers.
It seems difficult to imagine more complete, more French and more flattering conditioning.

Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects
Second prerequisite: security.
Of course, all the imposed figures are performed with mastery. This is the basis. We therefore find all the elements that prevent any potential danger. But it is in the free figures that the brand gains its letters of nobility. A lot number? Of course. But we can go even further by giving each bottle a number, like some Bordeaux Grands Crus. Such a detail is expensive, the invoice from the printer is not the same.
The transparency is therefore of a very beautiful water, it lets discover the essential: the amber and delicate color of the liquid.

Comments on the packaging
The packaging would not look bad at Chanel ©. Here we are in the world where perfumery and wine terroir intersect. A rectangular bottle displays its lines of flight for a discreet class because it is not about doing in the vulgar. The glass is thick, almost carnal and draws a content that makes you salivate in advance.
The cardboard box is reminiscent of wine in its sober and efficient presentation. Another investment that must have been expensive. But, at 24 € a vial, it was not about doing in the vulgar. We pay dearly but we have the pleasure of a unique object, of great originality and which displays its elegance like a gentleman, with relaxation. The good is normal, but the beautiful is rare. It was therefore necessary to do both and to free oneself from the vials in vogue in the new world where the rhinestones must shine to attract. Here, it does not shine. It lives.

Comments on the taste of the juice
# 2 is a gourmet tobacco, for my personal pleasure. And as I imagine, as an amateur for five years of the category, to have some notions to assert, I will not give him a chance to be only good. It will have to be exceptional.
We have a dark tobacco in the mouth in which we can guess an American-style blonde / brown mixture. The blond is felt by some pleasant spicy aspects and the brown imposes its heavy power. The whole is colored with precise flavors of dark chocolate and bourbon. It's woody, gourmet, elegant. A real pipe tobacco, complex, full-bodied but softened by gourmet scents.
Not very sweet, # 2 is aimed at lovers of deep tobacco and can be considered quite as a liquid that you can vape at will all day long. Even if the recipe has already been seen elsewhere, the success here lies in the measure. A clever composition which ensures that nothing disturbs the tranquility of the tasting. Nothing vulgar, we did not drop two ladles of bourbon in a pot of tobacco and ten plates of chocolate. The manufacturer has released its most precise measuring instruments and has cut, to the nearest tenth of a millimeter, a tailor-made taste costume for lovers of the diving plant.
It is indeed exceptional.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting
The best of your atomizers will be required. We do not vape this liquid like a normal liquid. It should be served in the appropriate container. Quite viscous thanks to the presence of 60% vegetable glycerin, it develops a very dense and white vapor and the hit is solid. In an ideal world, you will enjoy it on a top-coil or your favorite dripper, making sure to serve it warm. Powerful in aroma, # 2 will accept to be airy and also to increase in power depending on your device.

My mood ticket on this juice
A great juice. It will not convince grain yogurt lovers or mint addicts. But he's not made for that. It will enchant the palates of gentlemen who have not given up on their love of tobacco and will make them understand how much more flavorful vapor than smoked tobacco is.
If its price perhaps disqualifies it from becoming an allday, we must not forget that we do not drink Pessac-Léognan like a table wine. The # 2 will accompany your precious moments. The glass of Cognac that you use once a week. Espresso sipped on the terrace of a Parisian café facing the Madeleine, not far from Chez Fauchon. It will be the highlight of a good meal shared with friends. He will accompany your daydreams alone, sitting on the old armchair that you love so much and that only the cat can argue with you when you are not there.
A great vintage, again.
