Impressions (May 21 and June 2, 2024)
According to JimInks, "The
very grassy, mildly tart and tangy citrusy Virginia also
offers some toast, earth and wood. The earthy, woody
perique is spicy with a little raisins, plums and figs
in a support role." What do I get? Licorice! The fruity,
plum-like, peppery Perique produces this, I think.
Licorice is what I smell in the jar, what I taste on the
retrohale, and what I smell on my lips after a smoke. I
feel like I'm in a candy shop, or eating licorice in a
movie theater. It's a pleasant taste alright, but very
mellow. Sometimes I wish it were stronger. However,
perhaps this a plus.
This doesn't take a light especially well, but there is
no difficulty lighting Luxury Navy Flake, at least when
it's rubbed out. I don't recall having to relight it
very much.
The nicotine hit is mild. This mildness, combined with a
cheap price in bulk, means Luxury Navy Flake can make
for a good all-day smoke. I think I will enjoy this
blend, and perhaps VaPers in general. Four stars.
