I just saw an Esoteria Tobacciana ad for Penzance Grape / Special Reserve. And their other one, Grapehaven.
A hipsters delight. The end of the world is near.

The grape note of CBG is indeed the smell of a pouch of grape big league chew.
The key is to open it outdoors, and run away quickly while you let it offgas.
After a few days it won't ghost your clothes getting near it.
When McClelland 5110 still existed, it made a great 50/50 mixer with CBG and produced a weirdly good shisha like smoke that was at least 50x better than Esoterica St. Ives.
It became a running joke in certain internet crowds, because as silly as it seemed.. it was actually really good. You just had to let go and get over the ridiculousness of pipe tobacco seasoned with artificial grape gum flavor.

Some of the posts make me think the grape flavoring is concocted without any actual grape. The flavor and scent/fragrance industry works on this all the time to chemically create scent and flavor without the named ingredient, to produce it at a lower price and with better preservative characteristics. I think most people have an instinct to not want to guess what these faux flavors might be and not use flavors that aren't what they represent. Manufacturers will only tell you under mandate.
