Comments on the packaging

The Cigar Passion comes from the classic range of Flavour Art of which about fifteen references are dedicated to the world of tobacco.

This e-liquid is free of sugar, protein, GMO, diacetyl, preservative, sweetener, coloring, gluten or alcohol. We are therefore guaranteed to avoid most of the problems associated with the presence of questionable molecules.

Composed of a ratio of 50% PG, 40% VG, the remaining 10% is divided between the aromas, distilled water and nicotine. Cigar Passion is available in four different nicotine levels: 0, 4.5, 9 and 18mg / ml.

The packaging, as it is today since it will evolve in the weeks to come, is quite practical. We have a PET bottle that is undoubtedly insufficiently flexible to be really comfortable with difficult filling and a rather original stopper / dropper assembly since the stopper does not separate from the bottle. The tip is quite thin even if the presence of the cap may interfere with feeding some atomizers.

With a price of 5.50 €, we are at the entry level. The price corresponds to the target of the manufacturer: the first-vapers and, by extension, intermediaries not wanting to change their habits of vape.

Vapelier's note regarding the respect of various conformities (except religious): 4.63 / 5 4.6 5 out of stars

Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects

The necessary warnings, the pictogram indicating danger, that for the visually impaired, the DLUO and a batch number respond to the call. Of course, from May 2017, it will be necessary to go even further to comply with the TPD and introduce new pictograms as well as the famous mandatory notice but, in the current state of the legislation to date, we are on a correct product.

Child safety is different from that usually used (with locking of the disengageable thread by pressing). It consists of pressing on both sides of the cap to allow it to be unlocked. The system, although little used elsewhere, works and does what it is intended to do.

The name of the laboratory and a telephone number complete the range to ensure seamless transparency. Some information is at the limit of visibility but this is the current fate of 10ml bottles overloaded with information.

Appreciation of the packaging

  • Does the graphic design of the label and the product name agree ?: Yes
  • Global correspondence of the packaging with the product name: Yes
  • The packaging effort made is in accordance with the price category: Yes

Vapelier's note regarding packaging with regard to juice category: 5 / 5 5 5 out of stars

Comments on the packaging

The packaging is traditional. If we except the stopper / dropper unit, which will no doubt disappear in the next batches, nothing exceptional distinguishes this bottle from the entire production at this level of the range.

The manufacturer's logo covers the label, overlying an illustration relating to the product name, which name appears roughly within the image. Nothing very artistic here but just a simple bottle that is neither exceptional nor unworthy and announces the color of an entry-level liquid.

About color, that of the cap varies depending on the level of nicotine. Green for 0, light blue for 4.5, dark blue for 9, and red for 18.

Sensory appreciations

  • Color and product name agree ?: Yes
  • Do the smell and the name of the product agree ?: Yes
  • Definition of smell: Tobacco Cigar
  • Definition of taste: Sweet, Chocolate, Tobacco
  • The taste and the name of the product, do they agree ?: Yes
  • Did I like this juice ?: I won't splurge on it
  • This liquid reminds me of: A light cigar

Vapelier's note on the sensory experience: 4.38/5 4.4 5 out of stars

Comments on the taste of the juice

The Cigar Passion has the genetics of the Flavor Art range. It is naturally sweet since no sweetener is added and prefers to opt for sweetness rather than strength.

The cigar aroma used is quite deep with a hint of toast and a hint of chocolate. While being well sized in terms of aromatic power, it remains however quite light and the result leans towards a (too?) Sweet cigar, more Dominican Davidoff than Cuban Montecristo.

The recipe is balanced but will undoubtedly appeal more to lovers of light browns than to fans of powerful cigars. It is perhaps the limit of this choice of rather typical softness, for the moment, of the range. 

The length in the mouth is quite interesting, devoid of bitterness and the liquid will go well with your favorite espressos or digestives. 

Tasting recommendations

  • Recommended power for optimal taste: 40W
  • Type of vapor obtained at this power: Dense
  • Hit type obtained at this power: Strong
  • Atomizer used for the review: Narda, Origen V2Mk2
  • Value of the resistance of the atomizer in question: 1.1

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting

The Cigar Passion makes you want to be vaped hard but even the rise in power is not enough to spice it up.

The vapor is plentiful and the juice will vaporize at will on any atomizer. However, I would recommend a tight vape for this particular liquid in order to seek the cigar sensation at the same time as the taste.

A warm / hot temperature will suit him perfectly.

  • Can this juice be recommended as an All Day Vape: No

Overall average (excluding packaging) of the Vapelier for this juice: 4.26 / 5 4.3 5 out of stars

My mood ticket on this juice

A mixed report for a liquid which, far from being bad, is not revolutionary in its specific category.

If the taste of the cigar is there, the strength is lacking and we can feel frustrated not to take more full mouth especially that the parallel notes are quite interesting and the length in the mouth remains impressive enough for a flavor of this type .

Well in all respects but not exceptional.
