Comments on the packaging

Beautifully crafted cobalt glass bottle and classy label, the packaging inspires gluttony and displays the ambition of the liquid. Cigaroma is therefore a French brand which is releasing a Discovery range which is the manufacturer's “Premium” category and which seems rather promising on paper, with 4 flavors in the catalog.

A slight defect that made me laugh, however: the bottle in my hands is 20ml and proudly indicates 10ml on the label !!!!!

Vapelier's note regarding the respect of various conformities (except religious): 4.5 / 5 4.5 5 out of stars

Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects

It is a shame that the brand has ignored child safety. We cannot repeat it enough, this is not a very expensive or complex extension and we would like to see this on all bottles, including glass ones.

We also see the cryptic wording of the composition: Propylene Glycol: 60%, Vegetable Glycerin: 30%, Aromatic composition: 10%. I remain a little over my hunger as for this description since I imagine that the flavors are diluted in Propylene Glycol as excipient? I will not go further because I did not find additional information but I would have liked a clearer composition.

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

Comments on the packaging

The packaging really makes you want. The brand exploits the concept of the great navigators who have helped to shape the geography of the world. The name “Vasco De gama”, in homage to the famous Portuguese navigator who discovered the Indies, the parchment-style label with a flamboyant drawing nave. The realization of the concept is well completed and therefore invites a more tasty journey.

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

Comments on the taste of the juice

It is divine. To my taste of course because this liquid is one that will not be unanimous. It is indescribable and very complex. Its first particularity is to have a very strong hit, even in 6mg here, which seems carried by a menthol / eucalyptus which pleasantly lines the palate. But no need to try to compare it with another existing liquid, it's a waste of time.

The liquid is based on a fruity, spicy and relatively exotic tobacco base and therefore supports a strong menthol and light eucalyptus charge. Already difficult to define on paper, the tasting confirms the strangeness of the liquid. But what could very well be a completely strange and missed liquid becomes an excellent moment of taste questioning. THE finish is very sweet, almost greedy and the length in the mouth is perfect and goes very low in the larynx.

A real success to recommend to those who like discoveries and liquids whose originality is the first quality. In addition, it can be vaped tirelessly thanks to its well-thought-out balance between fresh, fruity and tobacco.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting

This liquid will require a rebuildable atomizer or a good dripper to capture the many nuances that characterize it. Whether the temperature is cold or hot, the liquid does not lose its taste qualities, which it probably owes to its intrinsic freshness.
A good clearomizer will also be able to enhance it because there is all the same a “confectionery” aspect in this juice that it will be interesting to use in this way.

Overall average of the Vapelier for this juice: 4.18 / 5 4.2 5 out of stars

My mood ticket on this juice

This juice is perfect! It is one of the juices that we will love or love to hate, there is no middle ground. The brand's commitment to making such an original potion could have been quite a headache, but the taste success is such that we can only validate the bet.

A strong hit, an exceptional length in the mouth, worthy of some American green juices, an exciting particularism to try to elucidate and above all, a devilish and interesting taste. These are the attributes of an excellent cuvée, whose recipe will be particularly difficult to decipher but which makes us travel without moving from the chair.

The Vasco da Gama indeed clears taste grounds hitherto unknown and this is its greatest glory.
