Comments on the packaging
With the FR-M, a great classic of the initial Alfaliquid range, the manufacturer could not do otherwise, within the framework of its new Alfa Siempre range which offers all types of tobacco, to give it pride of place.
Thus, this standard, which has helped tens of thousands of smokers to quit, joins the FR-One and other Malawia within the small range which gives pride of place to grass in Nicot.
Conditioning is a certain idea of perfection. Informative, without dead end and all on such a small 10ml glass vial, still rare in this type of capacity, it was necessary to dare. Alfa did it. And for a median price, we end up with packaging that pulls towards premium. The class.

Vapelier's note regarding the respect of various conformities (except religious): 5 / 5 
Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects
The FR-M's checking-list for security features looks like a field of crosses. To say that everything is there is still below the truth since the brand adds a DLUO to the bottom of the bottle and uses all of the available space to combine the mandatory elements and the warning notices.
It is a certain idea of French perfection in terms of information security. Beyond TPD, a major issue for the future of vaping that the Moselle manufacturer has fully understood.

Vapelier's note regarding packaging with regard to juice category: 5 / 5
Comments on the packaging
I love this look. For those connected with Cuban culture, whether historical or musical, the bottle sounds like a rhythm of maracas.
A label in shimmering colors easily evokes a cigar ring, a Havana of course. And we find the symbol of the country par excellence, Che, which takes pride of place on the central graphic element. This added to the more than strong allusion of the family name to the song Hasta Siempre, a true hymn to Guevara.
It could be kitsch. But that would have required the graphic designer to have much less talent. Here, it's imperial (if I may say so), in a perfect balance between historical reminiscences, strong symbols linked to tobacco and the perfection of the inclusion of security elements.
A must.

Vapelier's note on the sensory experience: 5/5
Comments on the taste of the juice
The FR-M is a well-oiled recipe, an assembly much less simple than it seems, which could be perfectly suitable for a switch from cigarettes to vape but which will also interest confirmed vapers.
Here, tobacco reigns supreme. Blond tobacco to be precise, with its slightly spicy Virginian side. It is, without a doubt, the central element, the keystone of the taste building.
But various sweet and distant fragrances round off its proud presence. Surprisingly, it is believed to recognize a sweet fruit that lighten the vigor of the main plant. Through the nostrils, the expired vapor contains traces of blackberry or is it strawberry? A red fruit of some kind, which can not be identified but which lets itself be vowed without remorse and which softens, with its spectral presence, the papillary asperities of the yellow tobacco.
Beyond the simple fact that this juice is a classic, its passage in 50/50 is a total success. Make no mistake, it's not just a bridging juice. It is a real good liquid, of great apparent simplicity but which hides an addictive and interesting complexity.

Hurt him and he will ask for more. Vape it on a dripper, with all windows open or on a wise clearo tight like the thighs of a clam frog and it will behave identically, giving you the best of itself.

My mood ticket on this juice
Some juices have their place in the Vape Museum. This is the case of the FR-M who accompanied in their quest for health a large package of vapers.
But it would be silly to confine it to this place because it is still relevant today, especially in its new dress of light and with a softer base. I rediscovered my first emotions as a young first-time vaporizer there, but I discovered an e-liquid whose complexity totally escaped me at the time.
A standard, no more and no less. We have undoubtedly done better since then, but I know only a few liquids that go through the ages without aging one iota. This is the case and it is undoubtedly its greatest quality.
