Comments on the packaging

The FR-Mint had to be part of this Alfa Siempre range which compiles the best successes in Alfaliquid tobacco while adding some new pearls that we have been able to mention in past reviews.

Reminiscent of the classic range, the FR-Mint performs here its metamorphosis by bending to the game of the new base in 50 / 50. 

The packaging is up to the challenge, splendid with these 10ml glass mini-bottles and does not obscure any important information for the consumer. Here we can feel the mastery of the manufacturer who does not content himself with delivering good juices but in fact understands the meaning through numerous and relevant information.

Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects

But that's not all, everything is in its right place and we congratulate the brand for being able to enter such a large amount of information on such a small label while ensuring that each of it is perfectly legible. .

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

Comments on the packaging

An exceptional packaging, undoubtedly coming from a fairy spell, presided over the birth of this juice as well as the entire range.

Glass bottle, very rare in this type of capacity. Exotic and colorful label that plunges us into the heart of the Cuban revolution with its cigar ring shape, the borrowing of Che imagery from the world heritage as well as the name of the range which simultaneously evokes the slogan of the revolutionaries : “Hasta la victoria siempre!” and the song “Hasta Siempre” dedicated to the memory of Commander Guevara. 

A feast for the eyes and a small portion of history of 10ml, drawn with talent.

Vapelier's note on the sensory experience: 3.75/5 3.8 5 out of stars

Comments on the taste of the juice

So here is a rather classic menthol tobacco. 

Indeed, we feel the blond aspect of the tobacco used and its marriage with menthol, the whole being supposed, I presume, to emulate the traditional cigarette-menthol to allow those who come from this precise addiction to pass the course in all peace of mind. .

And we were not far from it! But alas, the Fr-Mint takes over what made the weakness of its original version: the dosage of menthol. So the steam is very cool and you will quickly have an ice-cube effect in your mouth. No problem if you like it, you will be served. On the other hand, for first-time vapers wishing to find a light tobacco-menthol balance, it's grated.

Indeed, I find that the somewhat invasive freshness of FR-Mint harms the balance of the liquid. The tobacco disintegrates into shreds of blond vapor, the mint aspect so interesting to the smell is totally despoiled and at the end, apart from a papillary anesthesia which does not seem to me to be the desired goal, there is not much left. tasty thing to put on your tongue. 

Of course, it's not bad and it stays in season if the heat wave occurs but it lacks restraint, measure.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting

Preferably avoid hot temperatures which, in general, do not sit with menthol. On the other hand, the aromatic power makes it possible to vape the Fr-Mint in an aerial device without problem. Its well-chosen viscosity makes it compatible with many evaporating materials. However, you will not do a cloud-contest with this liquid, but you already guessed it.

The hit, overdriven by the freshness, is powerful and round enough and the freshness, typical of menthol, has the good taste not to go down low in throat.

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

Overall average (excluding packaging) of the Vapelier for this juice: 4.16 / 5 4.2 5 out of stars

My mood ticket on this juice

Cool liquids have value. They allow you to quickly have a cold sensation in the mouth and seem to impose themselves during hot moments. Many juices exist in this category, competing for wild freshness to better seduce the many followers of the genre. 

However, here we have a tobacco-menthol liquid. And this distinction makes all the difference. Indeed, the extra freshness prevents the smell of tobacco and so loses what makes the specificity of this liquid. We are thus on a vapological paradox that the first-time vapoteur will be thrown off by the sensation that the analogue cigarette does not provide or little and that the confirmed follower of freshness will turn more willingly to pure mints, or even fruity mint, more conducive to satisfy his taste passion.

A dilemma therefore, which, in my opinion, would require a new, more balanced version.
