French Classic – the strongest Classic from Montreal Original
French Classic is the fullest-bodied tobacco flavor in the range: light and dark tobacco come together to create a strong, tart profile with plenty of body. The flavor was awarded at VapExpo Paris 2024 in the Classic category. At Smoketown, you can get French Classic as a nicotine salt liquid in a 10-ml bottle, available in either 10 mg/ml or 20 mg/ml.
What does French Classic taste like?
French Classic starts strong and stays that way. The dark tobacco component gives the draw depth and a pronounced tartness reminiscent of dark, unsweetened cigar blends. There is no rounding sweetness or vanilla note – the profile remains uncompromisingly dry. For beginners, the flavor is correspondingly demanding, but for lovers of strong Classics, it is just right.
What sets Montreal Original apart from other tobacco liquids
Most tobacco flavors on the liquid shelf use recreated aromas and a touch of sweetener to make the result appealing. Montreal Original, instead, extracts the tobacco flavors using reverse osmosis – a process from the Canadian cannabis industry that the brand adopted for e-liquids after legalization in 2018. The aroma molecules are extracted directly from the tobacco, leaving residues behind. The result is drier, more direct, and noticeably less sweet than usual. Sucralose and added sugar are deliberately omitted, which also generally keeps the coils clean for longer. The brand was founded in Canada in 2020; the recipes are created in Canada, while bottling takes place in France.
French Classic compared to the other Montreal flavors
French Classic is the strongest of the three country-themed Classics. American Classic is based on the same idea but is smoother and rounder; British Classic is significantly milder. Those looking for strength with spice instead of tartness will find it in Oasis or Western.
What devices is French Classic suitable for?
With a PG/VG ratio of 50/50, the liquid is designed for MTL, or tight mouth-to-lung vaping. It is suitable for refillable pod systems and classic MTL vaporizers with higher resistance. As a nicotine salt, the throat hit is noticeably smoother than with conventional nicotine of the same strength.
