Comments on the packaging
Sir Habana, as its name suggests, has a very Cuban flavor, or should I say cigar power, in any case it is in a tobacco orientation and is part of the Roykin Legend range, a range that leaves dreamers and us reminiscent of the Far West.
It is a very accessible product which is packaged in a 30ml transparent glass bottle. It is also offered in many levels of nicotine to satisfy a maximum of followers or addicts to this type of flavor since it is offered to us in 0mg, 6mg, 11mg, 16mg and even in 19mg / ml.
It has been designed in such a way as to promote the taste but not at the expense of the vapor which remains quite correct with a ratio of 60% for propylene glycol and 40% for vegetable glycerin.
For the absence of the tamper-evident seal, I don't know what happened at Roykin, is it a mistake, an oversight or a bad choice…? but this seal is absent and nothing proves that the product is new. Commercially this is not the ideal, but it is the only downside that I found on this packaging.

Comments on the taste of the juice
Not being an expert on cigar, I will however try to describe this e-liquid oriented tobacco or should I say cigar, since it is the aroma that this product tries to imitate. For a neophyte like me, the bet of the copy is successful but I am only novice.
At the opening of the bottle, the smell is rather strong, earthy, spicy with a leather look, it's quite strange.
Side vape, oufff!, The test becomes difficult for me who does not really like the taste of the cigar, yet we are in full. I vape, I vape, I try to describe the flavors and I take the game, if at first my reluctance was crude, this cigar has been able to amuse me in the long run, revealing some surprising woody and spicy notes.
It is a powerful perfume that softens in the mouth but I have the sensation of smoking a tobacco leaf of a medium brown as if this leaf was not yet completely dry to provide a typical vegetable flavor, a little green , with a touch of caramel chocolate. I also feel a slight bitterness but that is not very frank, nor too unpleasant. Round enough consistency is a powerful taste that has in the mouth and extends for several minutes.
It is a powerful liquid that will have its followers, I am convinced!

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting
No hesitation, this tobacco feels good on all montages but will particularly like the sub-ohm, however, pay attention to lower the usual nicotine rate of this case, because the flavor is already full-bodied at the base, which could accentuate the hit. While on a conventional mounting, it remains consistent with the rate noted on the bottle.
The steam is not exceptional and its density remains average.

My mood ticket on this juice
Sir Havana is a full-bodied tobacco with strong spicy flavors and heady aromas.
In summary, it is a typically cigar liquid with nuances, herbaceous and wild aromas, a Havana flavor which makes all the complexity and charm of this juice at the same time. It is a liquid which should marry wonderfully with an amber beer by the subtlety of the two tastes, but above all, the common points between these two products will be fascinating, I have no doubt. A marriage to consummate!
Although the composition is quite complex to decipher Sir Havana is a "distinguished man" but not posh, no pretense, no worldliness, just the elegance and finesse of a juice filled with charm, precisely conditioned.
I must admit, I do not like the taste of the cigar, however I can appreciate the good things and find the best even when I'm not predisposed. Although it is not in my taste orientation is a very good juice, well developed with a cigar flavor that does not fade.
Great success on this entry-level product that also offers us a refined packaging.
