Giving this another try. Bumping up the French Pipe a bit to hopefully taste it in the final mix a little more. Trying out some ECX KNT in there because it seems pretty decent, and I think it will pair nicely with the French Pipe. KNT kind of tastes like SC Real Cig with some cocoa notes. Trying out the only other Western flavor I have that I haven't tried in this yet. Fingers crossed.
S&V: I think it is turning in to something I can work with. Updates to come.
2 weeks: I like it. It's kind of chocalaty tobacco with a little bit of that leather taste from the Western coming through. I think the Knt works really well with the French Pipe to boost those chocolate undertones. I'm not sure how much of this I could go through in a day, but it's pretty good. I think for this profile that I was shooting for, I'll call this done. It just may not be an ADV profile for me though.
