Maduro Red Vape

Maduro by Red Vape

Maduro is a naturally extracted tobacco e-liquid derived from Habana cigar wrapper tobacco leaves. Once picked, the leaves undergo a six-week curing process followed by a three-stage fermentation process. The result is a strong cigar wrapper tobacco flavour with a nutty aftertaste.

Tasting Notes

A full-flavoured tobacco blend with an indulgent smoky exhale, it rolls out of the tongue with generous, naturally sweet flavours. The intensity builds on the tip of the tongue, leaving that natural tobacco sweetness on your lips.

Red Vape E-liquid production:

Red Vape gets its distinctive flavour from the barrel fermentation process that Louisiana settlers learnt in the 18th and 19th century from the local Choctaw and Chickasaws Native American tribes. These tribes had been producing Perique for over a thousand years, and it was Pierre Chenet who learnt the process and developed it along with more western production techniques.

The tobacco plants are harvested when the leaves are a dark, vibrant green colour and the plant itself 24–30 inches in height. After harvesting, they are hung in curing barns until the leaves are dry but still supple. The leaves are then rolled into “torquettes” and placed in whisky oak barrels under giant jack screws, which keep the tobacco under constant pressure. Every few months, workers take all the leaves out, put the bottom ones on top and press them back under the screws. The entire curing process takes more than a year. The result is a powerful experience, with fans describing Perique as spicy, earthy and rich.
