this sucker. favorite so far and smokes like a dream out of the tin. Much more on the Va side but I of prefer that.
I've considered buying this and the aged burley, but it seems that they fiddled with these blends a couple years ago, to their detriment, so I have refrained - I still grieve for the old Three Nuns, and this sounds like a similar downgrade. Is the new version still worth it?

Several people have suggested Peterson Deluxe Navy Rolls and one person suggested Davidoff Flake Medallions. I agree with both those suggestions. Flake Medallions are cheaper than DNR, however, and they have a little core of black cavendish that makes the smoke very mild and mellow and almost never bitey. They're great folded right out of the tin, very accessible and a very good place to start your VaPer journey.

I don't know. It's been a while. Vaper for me are not my favorite type. I smoke it for sure but it's not one of the genres I have to have at all times. But I remember it being very forgiving and easy to smoke and also one of those tobacco forward blends that people love the room note of.

When you can get it in the US HU Directors cut.

HU Louisana Broken Flake

Another vote for Salty Dogs though I understand its expensive in the US.
Salty dogs also makes a fantastic condiment to add to a vaper bowl. I use it like that more than I smoke it straight.

There are plenty of great ones straight from the tin. Some prefer their VaPers younger.
Reading the internet can make you feel bad that you dont have a 10 year old cellar.
Its just not reasonable if you are new to this ELFLIQ.
I am new to vaping but it has been helping a lot. I was a chain smoker and I would smoke 10 cigarettes back to back like it was nothing so I decided I needed to stop and this helps but I pretty much use my ecig constantly throughout the day. That probably sounds bad but as a paranoid schizophrenic this helps my anxiety a lot and is a lot better than smoking just as often. The problem is I go through too many clearomizers and I was wondering if using a mechanical would help with this problem or if anyone could recommend the best way to vape for someone who does it all day long and is on a fixed income. I would appreciate any suggestions.

Wrong vaper. This is about VirginiA/PERique pipe tobacco blends, rather than vapourised nicotine fluids.

Just can't. They all perform better after few months in a jar when dark fruit banquet takes over. Elizabethan Mixture was a rare few that had great fruit notes from the start. But not sure if it was a topping or the Perique.

It's the exposure to oxygen that brings out flavors, similar to how you let wine or whisky breathe and it opens up
