When NamberJuice co-founder, Amber Johnson graduated from college, she spent two years living in Atlanta. Apparently all the streets in Atlanta are named "peach-something". http://namberjuice.com/namber-originals/all-flavors/atlanta-peachleaf.html I'll be right back, I'm going to explore Atlanta via GoogleMaps.

OK, I found a place South of Atlanta called Peachtree City, and within Atlanta itself there is indeed, a West Peachtree Street, NW Peachtree Street, Peachtree Street NE, Peachtree Street SW, West Peachtree Street NE, Peachtree Circuit NE, Peachtree Park Drive NE, Peachtree Hills Avenue NE, PeachTree Way NE, Peachtree Hills Circuit NE, etc., etc. "...there are 71 streets in Atlanta with a variant of "Peachtree" in their name." http://www.pba.org/programming/programs/atlantasounds/1294/ Amber wasn't kidding! Atlanta Peach Leaf, the subject of this review is a fitting name for this peach and tobacco flavoured e-liquid.

NamberJuice currently have a catalog of twenty one flavours, divided into two ranges; Namber Originals and Namesakes, with a third range, Tumbleweed Tobacco coming soon. Their liquids range from confectionary and desserts through to beverages and tobaccos. Each of their liquids are available in a 15ml bottle ($10.00) at nicotine strengths of 0, 6, 12, 18 and 24mg
Atlanta Peach Leaf, from the Namber Originals range is described as a "new and improved sweet peach tobacco (which) has a delicate and smooth tobacco flavor underneath a bright, juicy, ripe peach. Not too sweet, not too much tobacco, just a very well balanced flavor." http://namberjuice.com/namber-originals/all-flavors/atlanta-peachleaf.html There are twenty three customer reviews for Atlanta Peach Leaf with an average rating of 4.2/5 stars.
The bottle is a semi-opaque, easily squeezed plastic with an attached plastic dropper insert. The black plastic screw top cap is childproof. When it arrived, the bottle was sealed from head to toe in a seemingly vacuum sealed plastic and I had to use a steak knife to remove it! The design on the label is striking with it's geometric design in red, white and black. The label includes the following information: the name of the liquid, the phrase "The all original" preceding the brand name, the phrase "Quality E-Liquid", nicotine contents in mg, liquid contents in ml, a batch (lot) number, a "born on" date, an ingredients list, a warning that the liquid may contain concentrated flavours and nicotine, a declaration that the liquid contains artificial flavouring, an advisory notice to keep out of reach of children and pets and the NamberJuice address.
The colour is a limpid Ivory http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivory_(color) Observing the liquid in the bottle suggests a viscosity similar to a light, undiluted drinking cordial. However, a short, vigorous shake of the bottle, diffusing diminutive air bubbles throughout, sees them rising to the top at a very sluggish rate, suggesting a high VG content. A drop of the very lubricious liquid rubbed between my thumb and forefinger, remained slippery until the last half minute of the four and a half minutes it took to be absorbed into my skin. Opening the bottle below my nose releases an aroma which is redolent of a tobacco with biscuity or cookie-like notes and a slender trace of peach candy.
I'm reviewing Atlanta Peach Leaf with an Igo-L on a Poldiac running on a freshly charged 18650 battery. I don't have the means to check the ohms of the coil, but if it helps you to know, there's a four/five coil of 0.2mm (32AWG) Kanthal wire around three strands of 2mm Silica wick.
As I first draw the vapour into my mouth, I'm deceived. My mouth fills with the flavour of what I imagine to be maple syrup. With the second inhalation this has disappeared and the character of this juice conforms to my expectations. Drawing the vapour into my mouth again fills it with a mild sweetness and a milder still tanginess which I immediately recognise as having a fruity quality, but tempered with a more umami note. Having filled my lungs with vapour and a small amount of fresh air, for that brief moment before I begin exhaling the flavour resolves into the peach which I've been expecting. As soon as I begin to exhale the peach subsides a little in favour of a light tobacco flavour with a slightly biscuity inclination which dominates through to, and for the duration of the aftertaste. The aftertaste finishes with a light metallic tinge around my teeth and gums. I want to suggest there may be a drop or two of Menthol in the mix; not enough to register as flavour or to serve as a cooling agent, but just a smidgeon to brighten the peach flavour.
I find the throat hit to be mild and as with every sweetened juice I recall vaping, there's a mounting of pressure at the back of my throat as I inhale. In this case however, it's very mild and at no stage does it become uncomfortable. Vapour production is substantial enough to be convincing.
Atlanta Peach Leaf is delightful. It's sweet without being cloying and the expression of juicy peach married to the light, biscuity tobacco works like a perfectly realised dream. Well done NamberJuice! Without any reservation whatsoever, I can recommend this as an all day vape. In fact, in the next day or two I'll be filling my Kayfun Lite with it. If I notice any change in the subtle balance of flavour when vaped in the K-Lite, I'll be sure to let you know.
