Earthy & Slightly Dry

Black Note Kentucky Tobacco has a bolder, more intense profile than Burley Tobacco. Kentucky is fire-cured in Tuscany, which releases natural resins and produces a smoky, robust character with earthy and woody undertones. Burley Tobacco is air-cured, resulting in a drier, nuttier, and less smoky flavor. Kentucky is the option for vapers who want a darker, more assertive tobacco taste, while Burley suits those who prefer a cleaner, medium-bodied earthy profile without heavy smokiness.

Black Note Burley Tobacco is available in freebase and salt nicotine. Burley Tobacco 50VG/50PG and 70VG/30PG come in 0, 3, 6, 12, and 18 mg freebase nicotine. Burley Tobacco Salt Nicotine is available in 20mg, 30mg, and 50mg in a 50VG/50PG base. The salt version is compatible only with low-wattage, mouth-to-lung (MTL) devices.

Black Note Burley Tobacco is naturally extracted from white Burley tobacco leaves using a traditional cold maceration process. The Burley strain used originates from a Kentucky seed variant first discovered in 1864, now cultivated in the volcanic soils near Mount Vesuvius in Naples, Italy. The leaves are air-cured in ventilated barns over several weeks, then the tobacco is extracted without heat to preserve the authentic earthy, nutty flavor. No artificial flavors, sweeteners, or synthetic nicotine are added.

Black Note Kentucky Tobacco 50VG/50PG works best with mouth-to-lung (MTL) devices using coils at 0.8 ohm or higher, at power settings not exceeding 18 watts. Kentucky Tobacco 70VG/30PG is suited for sub-ohm tanks and direct-to-lung (DTL) setups at medium to higher wattage, producing thicker vapor with a fuller mouthfeel. Kentucky Tobacco Salt Nicotine is designed exclusively for low-wattage pod systems. For the best expression of Kentucky’s smoky, bold character, MTL devices at lower wattage tend to deliver the most defined flavor.

Both Black Note Burley Tobacco and Kentucky Tobacco are tested and confirmed free from diacetyl, acetyl propionyl, ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, acrolein, and acetoin. Black Note tests every batch of its naturally extracted tobacco e-liquids to ensure these compounds are absent. This applies to all formulations, including 50VG/50PG, 70VG/30PG, and Salt Nicotine versions of both Burley and Kentucky.

Black Note Kentucky Tobacco is one of the boldest, smokiest options in the Black Note range. The fire-curing process used for Kentucky tobacco releases natural resins that produce a robust, smoky, earthy character. The 18mg freebase (or 50mg salt) strength provides the strongest throat hit and nicotine delivery. Kentucky Tobacco e-liquid preserves authentic tobacco taste through natural extraction.

Black Note’s salt nicotine versions of Burley Tobacco and Kentucky Tobacco are rated as coil-friendly, with each lasting up to 35ml on a single coil in a typical pod device. The freebase 50VG/50PG and 70VG/30PG versions use natural extraction without artificial sweeteners, which means they produce significantly less coil gunk than sweetened e-liquids. Coil life will vary depending on device, wattage, and usage patterns, but the absence of sucralose and other sweeteners helps maintain cleaner coils for longer.

Black Note Burley Tobacco and Kentucky Tobacco can be combined for a customized flavor profile. Some vapers mix Burley’s nutty, dry character with Kentucky’s smoky boldness to create a deeper, more layered tobacco experience. When mixing, use the same VG/PG ratio and nicotine strength for consistency. Black Note e-liquids use the same base ingredients across the line (USP Kosher VG, USP PG, purified water, and tobacco-derived nicotine), so mixing flavors within the same formulation type is straightforward.

Black Note Burley Tobacco and Kentucky Tobacco contain tobacco extract from naturally extracted tobacco leaves, USP Kosher Certified vegetable glycerin (VG), the highest grade USP propylene glycol (PG), purified water, and nicotine derived from tobacco leaves (freebase or salt, depending on formulation). Salt nicotine versions also contain benzoic acid. Both products exclude artificial flavors, artificial sweeteners, synthetic nicotine, diacetyl, acetyl propionyl, and acetoin.
