Historical Roots of Virginia Tobacco
Virginia tobacco, dating back to the early 1500s in Europe and introduced from Virginia, gained popularity for its distinct taste. It became particularly favored among French women after its accidental discovery in 1839. This tobacco variety has since become a staple in North American blended cigarettes, used by iconic brands like Marlboro and Chesterfield.

Light and sweet tobacco flavor
This is a nice plain Jane tobacco juice. This is a great starting point before you move on to other flavors to see if you want to explore other flavors.Amanda –
The best tobacco flavor out there
OMG this is the best tobacco flavor out there hands down. I've tried others and as a former smoker this is the only one that has actually tasted like a cigarette without all the nasty chemicals. My only concern is I wish there was an option for a larger bottle. I'm having to order a bottle a week almost. I'm so glad I tried black note!!!Susan –
Prelude
I quit smoking cigarettes 3 years ago by switching to vaping. Until I found Black Note and most especially Prelude I was constantly changing 'flavors' because I just don't like the fruity, sweet, flavored juice. I also was searching for something as natural as possible. I LOVE Prelude! Forte is an extremely close second. Thank you Black Note!johnny –
Great. Job with this
Great smoke really helping me go with out ciggys.Bryan –
Closest to actual cigarettes
This brand is very good. I also like Halo's Tribeca, but this one knocks it out of the park with a more natural flavor and added sweetness that is also surprisingly natural as well. I am also hoping I will enjoy the menthol from Black Note .Johnny morris –
Great taste
I orders 1 bottle to try, all other real tobacco tasting eliquid are horrible. But this one surprised me. Great liquid just what I needed to get me over smoking ciggys. I ordered another bottle after the first taste great job.Cheri –
Beautiful Flavor & Vape
This is a smooth, nice vape that gives me the same throat hit as the Marlboro Blacks I smoked. Since I have tried Blacknote vapes 2 years ago, I'll never try anything else. I have & they never compare. So the good news is Blacknote is by far the best vape on the market, but the bad news is they ruined every other flavor out there because nothing else compares. Which I'm OK with. They are by far the best.Chris –
Prelude - Overall
First I would like to start by saying that Prelude was not for me. It was a little too light. SO why the 5 start review then. I believe like me this is where most people will start when looking at Black Note so I wanted to give my overall review here rather than somewhere else. The shipping was quick and on time. The packaging in unique and functional while have a "cool" factor. The overall taste while a little light for me I did find another in the line that was beyond perfect. (See my review of Sonata). After using Black Note for a couple weeks a few observations. The best and #1 selling point for me is that there is no artificial aftertaste. I have scoured high and low in the vape market and have not been able to find another tobacco that doesn't have that artificial after taste. Some do a good job but all of them that I have tried have it. I liken it to that taste you get from drinking a diet soda. Black note has no trace of this just very smooth with some natural hints of whichever flavor you get. Truly amazing!!!The other thing I noticed is how the coil and tube stay much cleaner with all my other tobacco’s when you would refill or switch coils there was always this sticky build up that kind of stained everything. With My black Note I have noticed that this kind of buildup and sticky mess is no longer present. As for taste - that's going to be a personal decision. If prelude is not for you try a few of the others I will bet that there is one that hits the right spot for you.Michelle –
Chagnon
Prelude was my first purchase through Black Note and I couldn't be happier! I've ordered it at least 8 times so far...tempted to try other flavors as well. But I'm a creature of habit so who knows when? One thing I like about Prelude is there is NO funky aftertaste! Overall taste is very clean and bright. I also appreciate the super quick service. I live near Boston and I have consistently received my orders all the way from California within 3 business days of placing my orders...and with free shipping!!! Can't be beat! Thanks Black Note!Pete –
The product is great, but......
Recommendation: A lot of people benefit from the reviews of the various e-liquid flavors. They are very informative and make for a good initial guide to those who are getting to know Blacknote products. But the review criteria (products) falls short in one very important way. I suggest you add a review spot for customer service. I have been a loyal Blacknote customer for a few years - I buy nothing else. My loyalty was initially based on the superior products. But this loyalty has been cemented more-so based on superior customer service. I order on-line as I live in the Pacific Northwest. Ordering anything on line carries risks. Mistakes are going to happen, or at times you’ll run into stock problems, with every on-line retailer. It’s just the nature of things. But what separates one company from another is how they respond to problems. While I’ve only run into problems with my orders only a few times, every time this company has responded in an extraordinary and personal way. Responses are quick and highly effective, even if it’s just an inquiry (vs an ordering or delivery problem). So please allow your true colors to shine and add a customer service review criteria. I guarantee this will serve you well. Post-note: Big shout-out to Jamie who helped me through my last minor challenge.
