Comments on the packaging
If Moonshiners spoiled us with its version 2 of Old Nuts released very recently, we should not forget that the new “Bootleg Series” range includes two other liquids that give pride of place to tobacco. Enough to raise the ears of those who have a boundless affection for Nicot grass.
Especially since the Ruff Skin that we are going to dissect today is not presented as a gourmet tobacco but as a real blend, pure and devoid of artifice. Of the three proposals in the range, it therefore appears to be the most likely to win over net lovers, despite the fact that it contains artificial flavours. And that is not so bad because it will avoid many disappointments for your resistors and should even ensure a place for it in a good clearomiser.
The Ruff Skin exists in 3 versions or formats. It is first found in 10 ml for 5.90 € in rates of 0, 3, 6, 12 and 18 mg / ml of nicotine. Still in 10 ml, it is also found in 10 or 20 mg/ml of nicotine salts this time and always for the same price. Finally, you will find it in 60 ml available in 3 and 6 mg/ml for 19.90 €. For this, a bottle dosed in 0 of 40 or 50 ml will be accompanied by 1 or 2 flavored boosters. All that remains is to mix everything together and it will be ready!
Constructed on a 50/50 PG/VG base, the perfect compromise for a tobacco liquid, the liquid has a captivating fragrance as soon as the bottle is opened. A raw and characterful smell that suggests a moment of intense taming!

Comments on the taste of the juice
It is in the spirit of Latakia that this blend was composed. Namely a preparation born in the Near East from black tobacco dried first in the sun and then in the smokehouse. This explains why Ruff Skin immediately develops pronounced smoky aspects but also a good natural sugar level, a sign of good plant maturity.
The feeling is captivating. The vapor seems to acquire consistency in the throat and immediately brings sensory satisfaction.
By prolonging the tasting, we discover many nuances and a beautiful depth of taste. Caramel notes sometimes arise and mingle with spicy touches; more reminiscent of the Cypriot Latakia than the more brutal Syrian.
Here, we are of course on a tobacco of character, both deep and dark but conveying gourmet notes sometimes eyeing an English mix, or even a Cavendish.
The recipe is successful to perfection and the trip is complete. A powerful yet elegant pipe tobacco. What to freelance for many macerates, including in terms of realism.

My mood ticket on this juice
For lovers of tobacco tastes who do not want to take the lead in redoing their resistance ten times a day. The Ruff Skin is the perfect example that a long research work can lead to formal perfection in the transcription of a complex tobacco.
It is a great success that skilfully mixes power and nuances for a typical gentleman result. Top Vapelier and hats off!
