Grizwald’s ‘Old Holby’

[flimflam]

The Vapeescape folks kindly bunged a sample of Grizwald’s ‘Old Holby’ into me last order, so I thought I’d stick a review up here for anyone interested.

The short version:

Oh Ma Gawd! Bladdy Excellent! Grizwald is a freakin Genius!


The slightly longer version:

Grizwald’s ‘Old Holby’, PG/VG mix (dunno the percentages), 20mg strength, vaped in a LR 2ohm Boge carto on a 650mAh Riva battery (me usual setup).

First off, on opening the bottle and taking a sniff I immediately thought ‘dang, that smells familiar’, but I couldn’t place it. It’s kind of like liquorice without the aniseed. There’s also a very slight ‘perfumey’ aroma. On top of that I also get hints of a rich fruit cakey flavour coming through, Dundee cake? Or Xmas cake? Spicy rather than sweet anyway.

Suffice to say, it bugged the hell out me for several hours, until after vaping it all evening it suddenly dawned on me that it’s exactly the smell of a freshly opened pack of Old Holborn. It’s bleedin uncanny.

So on to the vape. Me usual vapes are 24mg, so was expecting this 20mg sample to be a bit milder. Not so! Throat hit is excellent, and the pg/vg mix gives a very satisfying vapour output.

The flavour is deep and rich, with all the elements I mentioned above coming through - enhanced big style if exhaled through the neb.

Weirdly, back when I used to smoke Old Holborn I used to find that it was such a rich dark flavour, and such a punchy hit, that I never needed too many tokes to be satisfied. Chain smoking the stuff just didn’t happen. The very same seems to apply to this juice, I find that two or three vapes does the job.

Wrapping up me ramblings then. This is an exceptional juice. Somehow Griz has managed to bottle the essence of Old Holborn rolling baccy. Vaping it is to me, like smoking the smell of yer actual real baccy without any of that burning nonsense.

Definitely one of the best ‘baccy’ juices I have ever tried. And, by a long mile, the closest to an actual rollie experience I have tasted.

If you’ve ever smoked Old Holborn, or are even just looking for a top quality ‘baccy’ juice, I heartily recommend that you try this.

Signing off,
John
