Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects

Obviously in accordance with the European legislation in force, there is no doubt concerning the legal and health safety of the products.

Nevertheless, we are used to the presence of some logos which are legion with our French producers.
If the broad outlines are the same in all countries, the Afnor voluntary standard to which players like VDLV have accustomed us is not the same here.

Comments on the taste of the juice

Obviously the Cuban Cigar does not hide anything.
The tobacco is thick, dense and dark. The Cuban evocation is due to the presence of a spice, certainly the clove associated with cinnamon.
There is not really subtlety in this assembly since everything seems to have been put on the side of the force.

Nevertheless, the aromatic power is modest because the taste of the juice remains only fleetingly in the mouth. All the opposite of the hit which is very present.

It is also at such a point that I took the second bottle which was sent to me thinking of a labeling error. It's not complicated, on a dripper, even at moderate power I couldn't do it. I feel like I have a 12 mg / ml of nicotine. So that's telling you ...
Suddenly, it is difficult to assess the full essence of the potion.

Tasting recommendations

  • Recommended power for optimal taste: 25W
  • Type of steam obtained at this power: Normal (type T2)
  • Hit type obtained at this power: Powerful
  • Atomizer used for the review: Dripper Zénith, Melo 4 & PockeX
  • Value of the resistance of the atomizer in question: 0.5 Ω
  • Materials used with the atomizer: Kanthal, Stainless steel, Cotton

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting

As I expressed in the previous chapter, the hit of the Cuban Cigar received is similar to 12 mg / ml while it is indicated 3 mg / ml.
As usual, I tested the potion on a dripper but faced with the impossibility of carrying out my tests, I took out a small Rda Hobbit from Focus Ecig in SC at 1Ω and 15W before validating anything.
A check on PockeX (starter kit clearly focused on first-time vapers) allowed me to corroborate the whole on a Melo 4 in resistance to 0.5Ω.

My mood ticket on this juice

The Cuban Cigar is believed to replicate the feel of a South American cigar.

He takes it well. If strength and character are his arguments, the bet is successful. Only, in the days of smoking, I did not swallow the smoke of a cigar. So draw the parallel with an e-liquid whose inhalation is often full lungs ... I still see stars.

It was very difficult for me to evaluate this recipe at best. The hit of the juices received - however indicated 3 mg / ml - reminds me of 12 or 18 mg / ml.

The strongest among us, at the level of the throat of course, will perhaps find their Grail here because the potion is not unpleasant ...

As you can see, the conditions were not met for a pleasant tasting and I prefer to recall the memory of the previous Top Juices that I attributed to the Liqua brand.

I'm getting a little health and see you soon for new hazy adventures,

Marquolive.

About the Author

Follower of the tobacco vape and rather "tight" I do not balk in front of good greedy clouders. I love flavor-oriented drippers but am very curious about the evolutions of our common passion for personal vaporizers. Good reasons to make my modest contribution here, no?
