75/25 vaper!!?? holy crap!!! most blends only have less than 5% Perique!!
no wonder you couldn't taste anything later on. that would be insane (i have to try it sometime).

of the american blenders that have "cigar leaf" added, i haven't found them to taste very much like a "cigar" at all.
woops and BlackDog have already mentioned what i would say tastes most like a cigar. that type of cigar would be like a young and spicy cuban where the twang is slightly muted, like smoking a really fresh Boli CJ or RASCC... the kind that gets your lips tingling.
that blend would be G&H Dark Flake (unscented). yes, it can also knock you on your ash. to me, closest pipe tobacco i've had that actually made me think, "hey, this tastes almost like a young cigar" when i wasn't looking for it to happen.
