No. In my experience tobacco flavors don't taste like cigarettes, but they do have a certain delicious "harshness" to them that blends so well when paired with a fruit flavor. Most "tobacco flavors" kind of go off of the KY4 formula that is so popular. The base tobacco blend from Vermillion River is a little tobacco flavor, a little caramel, and a little what tastes like hazelnut. I didn't think I'd like tobacco flavors when I first started vaping, but after trying a bunch of fuity flavors I ended up falling in love with Vermillion River's tobacco line up. Their Kentucky Peachwood and Kentucky Bananawood are really good, I'd highly recommend them if you want to try tobacco flavors. Vermillion is a local place here in MN, and their store is about 30 minutes drive from me. They actually sell from their own storefront and webpage, but they also supply all the other brick & mortar shops around here as well. If you want to try tobacco flavors, honestly give them a try. My buddies and I all vape their stuff. Other than the two flavors I mentioned, their Kentuck Premium blend base is good, and so is there "Minnesota Menthol", which has a little menthol and mint in it, plus their kentucky tobacco base. They do have some ones that are supposed to taste like cigarettes, but they are pretty gross. Stick with the Kentucky ones or the KY4 if you ever do give them a try. http://www.vermillionriverejuice.com/All-Premium-E-Juice-_c_... Yeah I don't clean my heads or clearos. The way I look at it, as a former cigarette smoker, who lives in a state with $8+ packs, even if I used a new clearo everyday I'd be saving money, lol. So I just replace the heads like one a week or whenever they leak or start to taste like crap. Heads are only like $1.50 from vapingme.com, and that's where I get all my stuff from.Should I expect a realistic tobacco flavor?
