Is it just me being blind as bat as I can't see the size anywhere on Griz's Old Holby. ???

I thought they only came in 5ml tester or 30ml bottle. ???

I tried some of this, because I used to smoke OH and I still miss the taste, but it didn't do it for me. It tasted a little like chinese five spice and not a lot like OH. Then I accidentally used the last of it to refill a clearo that had El Toro Cigarillo in. The result was awesome. Old Holby - for me, at least - lacked a certain 'tobaccoeyness" and the Cigarillo was a pleasant enough tobacco but lacked a depth of flavour. But the two together are a very satisfying vape indeed. It's still not exactly OH, but it's more than close enough.

I just tried it-thanks to dfsvapour who very kindly sent me some to try.

First I had a smell, there is something familiar in there, can't place it though, asked husband to smell it, he said it smelt of pipe tobacco, I took a few vapes, it is not unpleasant and will vape it to see how it grows on me.

Jiggsbro funnily enough, my husband who is not a vapour tried it and said spices as well -funny how different we all are

it might have stayed fresh in the shed, but it's a long way to go for a top-up.

Tastes remarkably like Ultimate Maxboro to me not sure if theres anything else in there.

try to vape it for a few hrs then come back and let us know how you find it, cuz im finding this interesting , when I first vaped it i wasn't sure about it the after a few hrs the flavour was not nice as i could realy taste it. it was like a spicey marmite . i quite often smoked holby didn't seem to taste like that to me..

I dont claim its exactly like OH to be honest, but it certainly is liquorice without the aniseed tanginess, quite good and better after 4-5 days, I have it in 2 setups at the moment and must say dripping is better.

Interesting you say that. I was thinking of picking up some HS Delight or HS Impulse and trying mixing them with Old Holby. They both have a 'straight' ciggy taste which could well complement the OH in the way you mention.

Yeah, for me the Old Holby comes across as if you were smoking the smell of Old Holburn, rather than actually burning and smoking it. If that makes any sense, heh

Will defo be getting some more in me next order. Samples all gone now :-[
