Vapenstein Blend
2May2011
Let me tell you something: making a good tobacco vape is hard. Making a great one is damn near impossible. I have specific tobaccos in mind that I want to do as vapes, and Donley and I have been working together since the early May launch of Vapenstein Blend to realize some of these other tobaccos I want to do.
There have been many, many failures along the way. A tobacco doesn't make a good tobacco extract just because the tobacco is good. You're losing the element of fire in an extract, so trying to capture flavor that you enjoy while smoking tobacco is next to impossible.
We succeeded, wildly, with Vapenstein Blend London. Not that my other juice isn't good too, it's just that London hit it out of the park, and I want that level of success with all our juice.
Well, after much blood, sweat and tears I am thrilled to tell you that Vapenstein Blend #4 is now available, Vapenstein Blend Louisville.
Vapenstein Blend Louisville is Burley. Burley is in just about all cigarette tobacco. It's also a uniquely American tobacco to smoke in a pipe. Burley in a pipe is just about as American as Chevys and prom night. It's what your great grampa smoked most likely.
You know me, I'm a big pipe smoker **rimshot**. No seriously, pipes and pipe tobacco are a passion for me. Burley at first struck me as boring, bland and not very exciting. It's what old men smoked. Then one day I just got it.
The beauty of Burley is its nutty sweetness, its earthy cigar-like notes, its high nicotine content, and its consistency. Burley is consistent. It doesn't care if your smoking technique is perfect or what you had for lunch that day. It's just predictable and good from match to heel.
And for those of you who could care less about pipes, I have a feeling this one will be a big hit with you too. Like I said, Burley is in almost all cigarette tobacco, so the tobacco flavor in Louisville will most likely be more familiar to you than my previous juice. This is just a delicious, earthy tobacco that is naturally sweet without any additives or sweeteners. This is the Vapenstein Blend version of the all day tobacco vape.
