Comments on the packaging

Beurk Research, or the saga of a French brand which, without seeming to touch it with its relaxed humor, has managed to remain constant in its quality and has risen into the pack of heavyweight liquidators, namely those which offer different things.

Artisanal work, research spanning several months for a single liquid. Multiplication of versions until reaching the ultimate standard, the only one that counts: the one that will completely satisfy the master flavorist.

And the decision, from the start, to offer a crazy aesthetic by developing, according to the references, a museum of Freaks that Tod Browning would not have disowned. Take vaping lightly, take it out of the sole and heavy medical straitjacket of a smoking cessation machine, to transform it into what it should be: a pleasure, healthier and recognized as such, in joy and good humor . So that it achieves its objective better and faster.

Also, with each taste journey that Beurk offers us, it is a discovery. Each reference has its own world. Today it is the latest release from the cracked manufacturer, the Classic Hollander. A liquid modeled on a personal memory: that of a smoking tobacco which bears the name of a city where sailors piss as I cry over unfaithful women.

It is also the story of an evolution in the range. No more 40 ml bottles, make way for those with 50 in a 75 ml container! And at the same price please: €19.90. That is the class ! And then we add as much as making a cardboard case to protect the nectar. Because in the Shadokian world of Berk, success is also shared with vapers.

We keep the basics: that of 50/50 to rig the recipe, the absence of any sweetener or coloring. Because although we take vaping lightly, we don't take health lightly, it's very different. Otherwise, we would ban flavors and tax vaping. Understand who can.

So, shall we continue the visit to the asylum?

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

Comments on the packaging

Here we find everything that makes up the visual universe of the brand. A falsely shaky aesthetic to awaken the visual sense. The use of fonts sometimes evoking the letters of the Raven, ransom demands or childish writing like Regan McNeil.

And of course, the portrait of the label's current tenant, Classic Hollander's Mascot, an improbable mix resulting from the unnatural union between Jeffrey Dahmer and a hamster. A mutation which, casually, brings us a little closer to the subject of the liquid. Well yes: Dahmer Hamster! You have it ?

In short, good packaging in all respects which will only displease those who are stuck in the seat and other cold-blooded people. I love it, and it's nothing new. Because it's fresh and it's unlike anything else.

Comments on the taste of the juice

If you are expecting yet another more or less faithful interpretation of Amsterdamer tobacco, you are wrong.

This is a very delicious tobacco. I would even say perfectly gourmet. Certainly, he borrows from his illustrious model the honeyed accents that have made his reputation. But it is far from stopping there.

The tobacco is present, multiple, a blend of several strains which go together wonderfully in a blond and sweet harmony. No harshness here. We remain on a soft and deep tobacco block at the same time where we note a very sunny virginia virginia, undoubtedly a touch of Burley for the thick nuance and other contributions, oriental at first glance, but without any certainty. We are not on the Internet, despite all the respect I have for them. It's a recipe, a real one and tobacco is just one of the ingredients.

Immediately, a flow of honey is superimposed on the Nicot grass. A sweet honey, more chestnut than black honey. It is accompanied by an evanescent note of vanilla to create a real pastry treat.

Then we have spices. It is distilled in touches that come and go. Ginger, cinnamon. Spices reminiscent of the bread of the same name. After several puffs, you become aware of it and you can almost feel the texture in your mouth.

As long as you like honey, this gourmet recipe demonstrates a perfect balance of aromas. The juice is powerful in taste, perpetually astonishing, fabulously rich. Here we undoubtedly have the first banger of the year in the gourmet tobacco category. It's not good, it's sublime. Complex, recipe down to the micron. A feat.

Duck faith, you will vape this liquid way too quickly! And at any time of the day. It will even become your bedside liquid, I put it in my friend Olivier's hand to cut. You will vape it in whatever you want, it holds well everywhere and its viscosity makes it compatible with all existing equipment.

You can try it with an espresso but I prefer to warn you: it will be highly addictive and you won't be able to do without it, it will irritate you and it will still be my fault!

My mood ticket on this juice

What a potato in the face! Knowing the brand well, I expected a liquid that was good in all respects. But I didn't expect such success! How ? By what miracle? For what ? I don't know, but in the space of a week, this liquid became my all-day drink. I can't stop sucking on my drip tip, it's hell!

On the Richter scale it's around 10. On the Scoville scale it's above the Carolina Reaper. On my painter neighbor's ladder, he can reach the tops of the trees. On the Vapelier scale, he inherits a Top Vapelier. But that’s only because we don’t have anything better to offer him!
