E. Conclusions and comments of the Internet user author of the review

Around the world, Five Pawns is regarded as one of the most sophisticated and luxurious e-liquid brands. And this reputation has not been usurped, because its most beloved and respected juice, the incredible Castle Long, with Bourbon of Kentucky, is enough to command respect to the most perfectionist connoisseurs.

Created and managed by a fanatic ex-cook of chess games (“Five Pawns” means “five pawns”), this completely elitist company has given itself a mission: to create the “umami” effect, a term used by contemporary specialists in gastronomy to qualify the enjoyment of taste in its purest form. Five Pawns aims very high in terms of creativity, complexity and taste aesthetics. It is an extremely ambitious American house. It can be compared, in terms of intellectual coherence, to the icons of French perfumery.

And his wonderful Black Flag Risen ideally expresses this philosophy. Because, even if the brand itself positions it as a distant satellite of Virginia tobacco, this juice spectacularly exceeds the limits of the genre. It causes an unforgettable shock to the vapoteur, far beyond the charms of cigarettes.

The sensations promised by the official definition of Black Flag Risen are: tobacco, cappuccino, nuts and… truffles. The real one, that of the forests, and not that of the pastries. The truffle, a key ingredient in high-end cuisine, expensive, powerful, with a strange, dark and inimitable taste.

The appearance, first of all. The packaging is faithful to the general logic of Five Pawns: an obvious luxury, and which might even seem arrogant, if it were not tempered by a cleverly old-school, almost western look. The 10 ml bottle, low and wide, stands out from the competition; the cork is of a beautiful material, soft and firm; the label does not concede anything to mainstream marketing. The container is aristocratic, and the content will take power relentlessly, in three stages, in the mouth of the vapoteur.

On inspiration, Black Flag Risen just looks soft, mellow. For a bit, one would wonder if it really tastes. But, a second later, on the expiration, it is a sensual explosion such as we rarely encounter in the world of vaping. The cappuccino mates with the truffle in a stunned embrace, so sensual it is almost indecent. It's creamy, full, deep, incredibly good. The benchmarks of gluttony are overturned, exceeded. Then, once passed out, the juice leaves a powerful, tenacious trail in the mouth, like the sensation of leaving a dinner in a five-star hotel.

Breathing out of Black Flag Risen is an experience in itself, which leaves a lasting mark on neurons. And I say it all the more readily since I am not a fanatic, in real life, of coffee or truffles. Simply, suddenly, coiled into one another, magnificently recreated and balanced, sleek and smooth, they provoke an explosion of sensory satisfaction.

Tobacco and nuts only appear in the background, humble extras in a performance where the cappuccino is a prince and the truffle is a bewitch, Your palace applauds wildly, it demands a reminder, and another, yet another. other. The liquid drops dangerously in your tank. You barely have time to come to your senses when you are already addicted.

Faced with such efficiency, we can only bow: Five Pawns is a grand master on the chessboard of taste. No, the Castle Long is not the only masterpiece of the brand: in terms of inventiveness, generosity and elegance, the Black Flag Risen has nothing to envy. And the feat is all the more admirable as we feel how these two high-flying liquids are of the same lineage. Five Pawns juices have one style in common, which could be defined by a buzzword, but which never gets old: greatness.

So obviously Black Flag Risen is neither an all-day nor a cheap juice. It is the same logic: the Beautiful is rare, and the rare is never free. But that such a wonder only costs half a pack of cigarettes should be enough to silence the critics.

In summary, I recommend all electronic hedonists to fall in love with Black Flag Risen, at least one night in a lifetime. Black Flag Risen means “the black flag is hoisted”. It is the black of the cappuccino, of the truffle, of the night that watches over the pleasure. Let this carnal, animal, hypersensitive silk banner take you in its folds.
(Note: I vape the Black Flag Risen on a Drag S, at 32 watts, to consume it hot enough, like a cappuccino, half-closed airflow. I don't even dare to imagine the feeling on a dripper ...)
