Comments on the packaging

Finishing a range by a Cuban is a bit of the apotheosis when you are a lover of tobacco tastes. We can already imagine the blue sky and the oppressive heat, the humidity in the air, the colorful colors of the streets of Havana and the reassuring purr of the 6-cylinder Bel-Air 53 cruising within reach of my ear not far from the terrace of La Bodeguita del Medio. Ahhhh, see you there…. we believe it...

From the classic range entirely devoted to tobacco, this e-liquid is available in four nicotine levels: 0, 4.5, 9 and 18mg/ml. A small problem: a 12 or an 11 is missing in the list to ensure a median proposal between the large gap that separates the 18 from the 9.

Very focused on safety, the brand claims production without protein, GMO, diacetyl, preservative, sweetener, coloring, gluten and no more alcohol. We are therefore guaranteed to avoid most of the problems associated with the voluntary or involuntary introduction of questionable molecules.

The liquid is composed of a ratio of 50% PG, 40% VG, the rest being divided between aromatic compounds, Milli-Q water and nicotine. 

The bottle is in PET, a traditional bottle at this level of the range. The cork/dropper tandem is quite original since the cork does not separate from the bottle. The tip is thin enough for any type of filling even if the presence of the cap may interfere in some cases. It seems that, in the near future, this conditioning will evolve. 

With a price of 5.50 €, we are of course on the entry level. The price corresponds to the core target of the manufacturer: first-time vapers and experienced people who do not want to change their vaping habits.

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

No obvious problem concerning the legal aspects, except for the absence of certain pictograms weighted by written warnings. We also note the absence of the famous mandatory notice but which is not yet at the time of writing these lines. There is no doubt that the manufacturer will be able to adapt in real time as soon as necessary.

Note the presence of distilled water, generally used to thin the base and to accentuate the development of steam. I remind you that the presence of water in an e-liquid is about as dangerous as the presence of air in the atmosphere for the die-hards who think that water, hips, is a danger, hips, for health !  

The child lock is different from the usual one. It consists of pressing on both sides of the cap to allow it to be unlocked. We could be cautious about the efficiency but it works very well in use.

The name of the laboratory and a telephone number complete the range to ensure unblemished visibility and transparency. Some information is at the limit of visibility but it is the game 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 probably disappear in the next batches, nothing exceptional distinguishes this bottle from the whole production in 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.

  • The taste and the name of the product, do they agree ?: Yes

  • This liquid reminds me of: A smooth and slightly sweet Cuban cigar

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

Comments on the taste of the juice

The liquid offers us a rather complex cigar tobacco. Deep and rather sweet, it is not devoid of a certain bitterness on the finish. As you puff, you can guess diffuse notes of chocolate, vanilla, a few roasted swirls take hold of the nostrils, evoking a light coffee. On the finish, a very light sigh of liquorice rounds off the palate.

As usual in the range, the Cuban Supreme is quite sweet, the fault in my opinion lies with a vegetable glycerin particularly well endowed in this area. However, on this reference in particular, it is less troublesome and the tobacco retains the possibility of expressing its taste characteristics in the mouth. 

If we are of course far enough from confusing realism, the Cuban Supreme still keeps all its promises and does not disappoint. The complexity of the liquid allows analytical tasting but also pleasure and if we are far enough from the caliente ardor of Havana, the obvious reference to Montecristo by the aromatic notes it gives off holds the road to the terrace of a Parisian café. opposite the Madeleine.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting

The Cuban Supreme lends itself well to the game of different types of atomizer. Its aromatic power, although present, will not adapt to an overly airy vape but on the other hand, it will be possible to increase in power without the juice suffering. A certain warmth is necessary to fully appreciate it.

Not stingy in vapor even if it does not reach certain exploits of its colleagues in the range, it presents a correct hit, quite deep in the throat and the sensation is quite full in the mouth.

My mood ticket on this juice

Here is an interesting number in this range which, on balance, oscillates between excellent and passable.

If the range remains focused on first-time vapers, the Cuban Supreme could also appeal to intermediaries looking for this type of tobacco for an inexpensive and friendly allday. It is an interesting e-liquid which could have obtained a Top Juice if the sugar level of the base had been controlled.

But let's not complain and come back to Havana for an extra moment of fun. Hasta siempre!
