Latakia Black Line - La Tabaccheria

Latakia Black Line – Review

INTRODUCTION

La Tabaccheria, for years an Italian and international reference point for lovers of extracted tobacco, began in autumn 2019 a process of real revolution in the concept of electronic smoking, aiming to play an increasingly important role within that range of vapers that use non-rebuildable systems to vape and represent over 90% of the e-cig users population.

In this sense, the Roman company has created two lines of organic tobaccos which, thanks to a particular procedure called “selective purification”, are able to restore the same aromatic perceptions of its extracted tobaccos, while avoiding rapidly compromising the coil life, head coil or pod; we refer to the Organic 4pod and Extreme 4pod lines and, the latter received the coveted The Flavourist prize as the 2020 best line of tobacco extracted for pod.

But there is more because the company managed and administered by the charismatic figure of Orlando d’Alessandro, accustomed to never rest on its laurels, has thought of a third line of extracted tobaccos even more oriented to the standard e-cig user who not only uses head coil systems, but is used to buying ready-to-vape e-liquids. The Black Line line, in fact, to which we refer, unlike the Organic 4 pod (line of 10 ml concentrated aromas) and the Extreme 4 pod (60 ml shot aroma line) consists of 7 different flavors of e-liquids ready to vape in 10 ml bottles and in different nicotine grades (0 to 16 mg/ml).

Here’s how La Tabaccheria presents its new Black line: “We have come full circle and crowned our most difficult objective: to support the sector with ready-made liquids that make it easier to abandon traditional cigarettes and that are truly suitable for entry level systems as much as for more advanced systems. An objective always sought with the utmost commitment, sacrifice and business ethics. After years of research and development, the sector will finally have another great support from his, the product that everyone would have liked to have available and available in stores at the first approach with the electronic cigarette.

The real taste of tobacco, over 50 ml of coil duration, ready liquid produced only with real tobacco extracts and without artificial flavors. The perfect balance between an Organic 4pod and an Extreme 4pod. The right charge, the right duration, the right taste. Now, quitting smoking will be even easier!”

LATAKIA BLACK LINE DESCRIPTION

The Flavourist today begins its personal journey within the Black line of La Tabaccheria, starting from the review of the Latakia Black Line, the extract certainly with the strongest taste of the line, the one that probably more than any other is able to transfer to consumer a real vape experience with an analogue character.

Here’s how the manufacturer describes its Latakia Black line on the company’s official website:

Thanks to the combination of our selective and extreme purification techniques, we are pleased to present a further evolution of our Latakia tobacco extract. All the flavor of Latakia in 10ml TPD Ready liquid version. Coil life, over 50 ml. The ideal product for the smoker who approaches the electronic cigarette. The ideal product for those who want a liquid that does not require dilution of the aroma. The ideal product for those who decide to quit smoking permanently.

SMELL TEST

It is useless to hide, Latakia Black Line reveals all its temperament and strength from the first sniff, in full Latakia style by La Tabaccheria. I am sure that if I smelled at the same time and with my eyes closed a bottle of Latakia by the Extracts line and one of Latakia Black line, it would be very difficult to distinguish one from the other.

How is it possible that a practically transparent e-liquid is able to give such a convincing and exhilarating olfactory result? Beyond my, I hope understandable, incredulity, I can only certify the excellent work done in the La Tabaccheria laboratories, a work that has allowed to arrive at this absolutely impeccable formulation from an olfactory point of view.

On the smell Latakia Black Line is rude, violent, incredibly smoky with not indifferent incensed hints. What more could you ask for from a Latakia and above all, what else could I add?

VAPE TEST

Devices: Vaporesso Luxe PM40 GTX coil 1.20 ohm + ExVape Expromizer V3 Fire single coil 1.15 ohm (Kanthal A1 28 AWG) with Fiber N’ Cotton.

For the review of the Latakia Black Line I decided to rely on two very different devices, the Luxe PM40 by Vaporesso and the Expromizer V3 Fire by ExVape, one of the best pod mods with head coils on the market and a rebuildable MTL atomizer more than never very good with dark tobaccos.

The puff of this Latakia is so penetrating and overbearing that from the first puff it can only arouse two possible reactions: hate or unconditional love. Lovers of light tobaccos or more generally of e-juices with delicate aromatic tones, certainly will not find it suitable for their expectations, but the fact remains that this is a high quality e-juice, more than ever indicated for those who try to find in the electronic cigarette the analogical experiences and perceptions of traditional smoking, and beyond a perfect way also for the purists of dark organic tobaccos and Latakia.

Latakia Black Line, presents itself with incredibly dry and woody top notes, worthy ferrymen of the vaper within a series of perceptions and sensory experiences from inferno-Dante.

“Before me there were no created things, Only eterne, and I eternal last. All hope abandon, ye who enter in!…” This is how Latakia speaks and sentences to those who are going to vape it…

So when the vaper approaches this new Latakia signed by La Tabaccheria, he will find himself enveloped by the turmoil and complexity of a tobacco that will not hesitate to show its crystalline class combined with its brute strength. And he will find himself in the heart of vape enveloped by the flames of this latakia hell, noticing it taking on fascinating and marked hints of incense, imbued with spicy veins and strong smoked wood flavors. Finally, at the end, the woody and smoky tones will persist on the palate with the right consistency and without ever completely numbing the taste buds, on the contrary ready to receive a new puff. An experience, an unprecedented journey … and perhaps without return …

LATAKIA BLACK LINE FINAL VERDICT

The taste experience lived with this first e-liquid from the new Black Line by La Tabaccheria, opens to unimaginable scenarios only a few years ago for the electronic cigarette sector, especially in Italy but not only. I say especially in Italy, because it is well known that in our country more than any other country in the world, the consumption and appreciation of tobacco e-liquids is so high and in any case above the world average.

The birth of this new line, at least judging by this first test, but I’m also ready to bet on future tests, allows an entry level user who starts vaping, to do it with a real tobacco e-liquid, which tastes like tobacco and which brings him bluntly in terms of perceptions to the analog smoke experience. Not to mention the absolute ability of these e-liquid to be truly coil friendly.
