HIC's Toscanello Fondente Cigar

[HeadInClouds]

This was just equal amounts of 2 flavors I enjoy together; I removed it after getting complaints it wasn't very good. Then I got complaints that it was gone, so here it is: 2% FA Tuscan Reserve, 2% FA Cocoa.

HIC's Toscanello Fondente Cigar recipe: a balance of mild, nutty, aromatic tobacco with smooth dark chocolate.

2% FA Tuscan Reserve
2% FA Cocoa

When I use tobacco vapes (rarely) it's nearly always a mild cigarette flavor. When I'm in the mood for something more robust, FA Tuscan Reserve is one I sometimes appreciate. It's usually described as a mild cigar flavor. I taste in it a hint of liquor and just a hint of a sour bite that reminds me it's not a cigarette flavor. I knew I'd like it better with something added to take off the edge, but I couldn't decide what...

Then I discovered Toscano cigars come in flavors, and this one caught my eye immediately! When I added FA Cocoa to Tuscan Reserve, I hardly recognized the Cocoa. It tastes deep, dark, smooth, and sophisticated. The sour edge of Tuscan Reserve is tamed into a flavor I truly enjoy. What a tasty combination! It's delicious fresh-mixed but smoother - even a bit creamy - after aging a bit. It sure has turned this tobacco wimp into a Tuscan Reserve fan!

The flavor matches the linked description of Toscanello Fondente cigars. ("...the perfect blend of warm, slightly sweet chocolate flavor with the smoky, nutty aroma of fire-cured Kentucky tobacco... pleasant, aromatic taste in mild intensity...dark chocolate with hints of licorice, and a taste that is sweet with sour edges.) If you enjoy dark chocolate flavor, you are in for a big taste treat!

P.S. Yes, I plan to make vape versions of the other flavored Toscanello cigars. Grappa is next on my list! Or maybe Caffe... or Anice sounds good...

Grappa?? the evil grape's bastard big brother.

OK from now on, I am checking your posts before placing any order (thankfully I did it before placing it)
Thanks man!

Ohhh, yeah! The Grappa version is sure to be a bold vape! Now and then, I'm just not in the mood for delicate and subtle, ya know?

From many a drunken episodes... I am honestly not sure which was the fouler feeling drunk..
Being torn up from the ass up off of grappa or drinking WAY to much Oban on an empty stomach.

Huh.... I would have never thought Cocoa and Tuscan together would be good, it's definitely on the list now

Is this a shake and Vape?

When HIC says "after aging a bit" I'm thinking overnight

 

[HeadInClouds]

yep, overnight works for me - others will want it smoother, which takes more time.

Not it is good, I twisted it a bit and added .5% latatika and .5 vanilla tahatti.

Good morning guys,
This is my first attempt at DIY eLiquid. I made my first megapurchase of Flavors and they are being mailed by filtration, but got the flavors for this recipe. At the beginning the flavor was a bit perfumey (aromatic), but within hours of steeping the flavors are blending and building up character. After steeping it overnight the taste is a little on the fresh tobacco leaf, but very distinctive of a cigar taste. Thank you HeadInClouds for the recipe.

Ozzy, congratulations on your first DIY!

@Ozzy Lozada fun ain't it?
Going to make another batch and keep my booger hooks off it for a while. No tweaking it just tuscan and coco.
