Because the tobacco is a natural extract, I wanted to "hint" in some flavors. I worried they would overpower the tobacco being over concentrated. Just a little extra something to compliment the tobacco flavor.

As of a few days ago, this developed an intensely unpleasant flavor like potted plant dirt. Much better today. I think I need to add a touch of sweetener, masking bitter notes and accentuating tobacco flavor. The apple has settled down to a perfect level, not competing with the tobacco. I was worried that this mix would be junk, it's pretty nice now. Yummy. The tobacco is very mild and I'm getting the cream in there too. I think I detect a slight bitterness.
Baked apple adds a pleasant, light mouthwatering tart pop, in a nice subtle way. The cream is nice and smooth, almost milky, carrying through with the mild tobacco flavor, I believe the dulce de leche helps harmonize all of them.
Without sweetener this seems a little lacking, I'm just gonna add half the regular amount of super sweet I normally put into my mixes. I always thought tobacco and sweetness with flavor would be nasty, turns out it's what I WISHED a rillo tasted like. it's so much more smooth and natural tasting, not bitter, harsh and laden with sticky tar chemicals.
I think this is one of my best juices. I'm very surprised how nice this turned out. I believe it may inevitably develop some bitterness from the tobacco flavor burning on the coil.
