Comments on the packaging
There are more generous regions than others with respect to juice manufacturers. Alsace / Lorraine is one of them and this is where the Liquidarom Laboratory is located in Strasbourg.
This laboratory offers us 3 ranges:
The Liquidarom range: entry-level juice of the mono-flavor type, with a ratio of 70PG / 30VG, and available in 0, 6, 12, 18mg / ml of nicotine. The range is divided into 6 subgroups: tobacco, fruity, freshness, greedy, drink, frosted. It is presented in a bottle of 10 ml soft plastic.
The Black Edition range: Mid-range complex juices that adopt a median ratio 50PG / 50VG, available in 0, 3, 6, 12 mg of nicotine per milliliter. Presented in a bottle of 10 ml soft plastic packaged in a thin cardboard box.
The High Creek Signature Range: developed in Switzerland by three "vape makers" and manufactured in France by Liquidarom. This premium range offers complex recipes, whose PG / VG ratio varies according to the recipe in 40 / 60 or 20 / 80. They are also available in bottles of 10 ml packed in a thin cardboard box. They adopt the same breakdown as the previous range in terms of nicotine
In the tobacco family of the basic range, we find the California Blend. Indeed, it is difficult to miss the richest state of the USA when it comes to tobacco, “California is a border between sea and land, desert and life” and above all, in our case, the fertile ground to discover yet another flavor of American tobacco for beginners.

Vapelier's note regarding packaging with regard to juice category: 3.33 / 5 
Comments on the packaging
For this range, Liquidarom offers us a rather serious but rather uninviting presentation, worthy of a product from a pharmaceutical laboratory.
A label or white dominates its neutrality, placed at the top of the facade, a dark purple logo representing a hummingbird hovering.
Just below the name of the brand and the motto. A black rectangle forms the title block or the name of the juice. We find the level of nicotine which is entitled to a purple diamond to distinguish it.
The other parts of the label are of course devoted to mandatory information.
It's not really very exciting, even if these products are aimed at the first-pilot, they could be more attractive.

Vapelier's note on the sensory experience: 3.13/5 
Comments on the taste of the juice
When the bottle is opened, there is a very slight smell of tobacco, not very marked and it is therefore difficult to draw any indication as to the taste of the juice.
At the tasting, we find a mix of blond tobacco that pulls a little on dark tobacco at the end of the mouth. A character full of nuance. At the start of puff, the sensation is quite manly, but it is softened by a flavor which is difficult to define clearly and which the manufacturer describes as a spicy sweetness. An indefinable note of spice typified by the bread of the same name is indeed present and denotes a more complex assembly than expected.
The California Blend is a good example of an “arranged” tobacco e-liquid and it seems to me suitable for those looking for a straightforward but not aggressive tobacco, the hit being present but its intensity remaining contained.

My mood ticket on this juice
California Blend is perfectly in line with the tradition of blond tobacco intended for beginners. A bland of blond tobacco virilized by accents of light brown and opened by a very finely spicy touch that we perceive in a furtive way.
An accessible tobacco that offers a recipe perfectly suited to the needs of beginners who are inevitably looking for this type of flavor to successfully separate from our favorite enemy, cigarettes.
No lyrical soaring because the simplicity of this recipe does not lend itself to it, but a very honest juice and rather well placed in terms of price.
Good vape
