Cigarillo | The Flavor Apprentice (20/50/100ml)

Cigarillo by The Flavor Apprentice combines a mild, sweet tobacco character with a darker smoky accent. It is a flavour concentrate for building tobacco-style profiles, with room to explore chocolate, vanilla or coffee pairings.

Flavour profile

The manufacturer’s description balances mild sweetness against dark, smoky tobacco notes. Chocolate extract is part of the formulation, but that does not make this a complete chocolate dessert flavour.

Recipe ideas & pairings

• Chocolate accent: trial a cocoa or chocolate flavour alongside Cigarillo to explore the darker side of the profile.
• Vanilla combination: add a restrained vanilla note for a gentler contrast.
• Coffee pairing: test coffee as a supporting roasted note.
• Caramel variation: explore a small caramel addition while keeping the tobacco character central.

These are flavour-pairing ideas to test in an appropriate recipe. Start with the Cigarillo profile, then add one supporting note at a time so you can judge what each contributes.

Using the concentrate

Dilute before use and confirm product-specific suitability for the intended application. TFA lists this among its food-grade flavours; that classification does not establish inhalation suitability. The manufacturer notes that the chocolate extract contains a small amount of alcohol.

Make a small test batch, measure each addition and mix thoroughly before assessing the result. Record the amount and final batch size so you can reproduce your recipe. Measuring tools help keep small adjustments consistent. For DIY e-liquid, follow a recipe and product-specific suitability guidance; food-use guidance does not establish suitability for inhalation.
