Fire Cured Virginia Tobacco eLiquid Review

Virginia tobacco is a time-honored tobacco blend that can take on many forms, depending on who’s at the helm of the eJuice mixing process. Generally, the concept is the same: a flue-cured base that’s riddled with any number of additives to give it special notes, like honey, cherry or even oak. In the case of Fire Cured Virginia Tobacco from High Caliber E-Juice, the Vaping Press staff was mystified by the name, being able to derive little more from it than the fact that this was indeed a new take on an old blend.

Popping the top off of the bottle and giving it a cursory sniff yields even less information for our talented testers, as the tobacco notes are far and above the most recognizable ingredients, with the mystery additives failing to name themselves by smell. One thing is certain, however: this tobacco has been flue cured to the greatest extent, with extremely dry notes that signal a hearty, southern-style vape waiting to be had.

Once in a clearomizer, we’re ready to hit the go button on Fire Cured Virginia Tobacco. What we’re met with on the draw is exactly what we had hoped for: a distinguished throat hit that’s powerful and fiery. The hit holds true to the trend that many tobacco vapes have become famous for and it’s one that signals a good start to any traditional-style blend. One thing to note about this throat hit is that it’s short, but packs a punch—users who aren’t partial to the throat hit may consider stepping down a nicotine level to mitigate its effects, without losing the bold flavor that follows it.

The flavour of Fire Cured Virginia Tobacco swoops in like wildfire as soon as the initial hit is done registering. It’s a flavor that’s reminiscent of pipe tobacco, with detectable notes of what may potentially be another tobacco additive, like Turkish tobacco. Whatever the mysterious ingredients of Fire Cured Virginia Tobacco may be, they come together in an appealing way that’s impressive to both Vaping Press’ hardcore tobacco lovers and even our non-traditional vapers.

No great tobacco vape is without the cloud of vapor that follows it and Fire Cured Virginia Tobacco isn’t to be excluded from this trend. The juice has great vapor production and when vaped at higher wattages, the vapor is downright impressive.

The long of the short is that Fire Cured Virginia Tobacco is a great take on traditional flue cured tobacco, but doesn’t stray far from the ordinary. If you’re looking for a staple tobacco flavor that’s safe, this is an excellent option for you. If you’re looking for a more refined blend that takes some liberties with the formula and goes above and beyond to peak your interests, you might consider another option.
