I'm a maple fanatic but I actually never had a maple bar! This is a take on what I imagine and I would enjoy for it to taste like.

FLV Maple Bar/FA Zeppola /FW Yellow cake are my doughnut base. From my research, FLV Maple Bar is a good doughnut but not very maple. FA Zeppola can be pretty strong if you put a lot of it in your mix but as it is, it should support FLV Maple Bar and strengthen that doughnut taste. FW Yellow cake is here for the butter and the body.

LB Cream Cheese Icing/TPA Marshmallow together form the icing and the sweet fluffy cover on top our doughnut. I just love LB Cream Cheese Icing, it's the only and best icing there is. I wanted it sweet and fulfilling so I added TPA Marshmallow.

FA Maple/VT Golden Syrup/TPA Brown Sugar is my actual maple syrup stone. Like I said, I'm a maple fanatic. I'll post a whole explanation on my maple stone in another recipe, but don't be intimidated by the amount of FA Maple Syrup, with the other flavorings, it is very juicy and not fry at all.

And there you have it! My maple bar standing tall all by its lonesome!

Enjoy, be queer & vape on!

In a slightly intoxicated state on night, I figured a strawberry cigarette was a good idea.

When I woke up the next morning, I realized it WAS a good idea. This is a simple mix that somehow has loads of complexity. Notes below.

THE CIGARETTE
FLV Kentucky Blend/FLV Virginia Tobacco - After months of testing different tobaccos to create IPA Smoke, I realized that these two work really well together to create a pseudo-cigarette profile. The Kentucky Blend is earthy, dark, dirty, and deep. It has smokey notes in it, some subtle sweetness, but overall, it's just a delicious dark pipe tobacco that really gives some "ash" on the back end after a few days of steeping. Virginia Tobacco, is light and dry. It has more of that light cigarette tobacco feel to it. There's some bitterness that plays really nicely with the sweetness of Kentucky Blend. In this mix, using Virginia Tobacco at a higher percentage helps fight the overt sweetness we get from the strawberry and brown sugar. Back in college, I made a friend that rolled his own cigarettes using a blend of cherry pipe tobacco with some full bodied cigarette tobacco. I fell in love with those smokes. To me, the mix of FLV Kentucky Blend with FLV Virginia Tobacco is almost a perfect emulation of those cigarettes I used to bum from him.

THE STRAWBERRY
INW Shisha Strawberry/TPA Brown Sugar - When working with profiles like tobaccos, custards, ice creams, etc, I've found that INW Shisha Strawberry works incredibly well. I typically rock the FA Strawberry/CAP Sweet Strawberry combination when I'm creating full fruit profiles. But in this mix, using that combination was pretty disgusting. Which isn't too surprising. Who wants a candied strawberry profile with a dirty cigarette? Probably no one. Or maybe a fucking coward. Who knows. But with INW Shisha Strawberry, we get a nice blend of a deep, slightly overripe, authentic strawberry with a touch of sweetness. I've read before that mixing INW Shisha Strawberry with things like caramel and dark sugar doesn't really work. While that may be true for typical application, we can see that this is not your standard strawberry recipe. In this, the addition of TPA Brown Sugar not only amplifies the nuances within the tobaccos, but also nearly exaggerates the overripe sweetness of the strawberry.

STEEP TIME
Shake and vape is definitely good, but after 3 days, the strawberries and tobaccos blend together into something special. Before the steep, the two stay fairly separate, but after a few days, they meld together and we get, truly, a strawberry cigarette.

This is a weird profile, I admit. It's strange, not an ADV by any stretch of the imagination. However, I find myself constantly wanting it for a few hits. It's really odd, really tasty, and a good way for ya boy to start off 2019.

My take on what puts me in a giving mood for the St Jude's Children Hospital live mixathon on @Fresh03 Youtube channel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67XZ2K8XyKk

Go donate and happy celebrations to everyone !

The oatmeal bar is based on TFA Oatmeal Cookie and INW Biscuit.

The richness of the bakery comes from TFA Brown Sugar, FA Maple Syrup and CAP Golden Butter.

The Cranberry is built around FLV Cranberry and CAP Grapefruit for the red and vibrant fruit, FA Blackcurrant for the jam texture and darkness of baked fruit.

And FLV Sweet Coconut you ask? It's a very neat trick to smooth out too sharp edges and round a recipe.

I have nothing to say. This is the closest I could get to my favorite cookie butter here in Europe. The spices do settle down a bit after a steep, so give it some time.
My friends enjoy it and non vapers recognize the smell so I got that going for me lol.
Tips are welcome

The Caramel and Maple is a back note in this recipe, with a rich tobacco front note,very smooth and hard to put down.

This is my take on a very creamy pudding with horchata. I love how sweet cream and VT pudding interact with each other. Horchata smooth is indeed the horchata part, but I wanted to be subtle as I find it easily overpowering. Brown sugar, Caramel and Creme Brulee make a very intense crust and the kettle korn plaice that little grainy part of the pudding. I didn't have sweet rice handy, otherwise that would be better but probably at higher %. I like it as SV but some steep would make it better!

Note! To be able to save recipe , i had to choose a different type and vendor for alcohol.
This recipe is originally used with Bolsjehuset Rom. OOO Bourbon Whiskey is not what i use , but might be subbed and maby at a different %
After trying to get a good irish cream with mixed results , i figured i make something new.
To simulate drinking coffee trough cream , i used Cap Vanilla Custard V2 , and TPA Bavarian Cream.
Since the original used brown sugar , my choice was TPA brown sugar(the only one i had).
FA Capouccino at 1.2% leaves the coffee at a softer spot , without hiding the cream and alcohol.

This is my first recipe , so show mercy :)
Also i am still working on it with other creams , so i will update when/if it changes to the better.
Also i airsteep abit because alcohol.

A classic Irish coffee. INW coffee is our main coffee of the recipe while tiramisu gives it a boost. Our alcohol comes from Irish cream after the 7 days steep. Its a really nice mix for a winter day and not only. Enjoy!!
