The Flavor Apprentice (TFA) is a leading producer of water-soluble flavourings.
DK Tobacco II delivers a classic, dry tobacco character with leafy and slightly earthy nuances, nutty/woody mid notes and a subtle caramel base. Clean and adult-leaning as a standalone, and a solid backbone for layered tobacco blends.
Use: Concentrate that must be diluted. TFA flavours are water-soluble and PG-carried; some may contain traces of ethanol. Note: We buy in bulk and re-bottle into smaller sizes (not the original packaging).

FAQ
Is DK Tobacco II sweet?
Primarily dry/leafy with low sweetness; a subtle caramel base rounds the finish.
How do I avoid bitterness/ash?
Stay in the lower range and round with vanilla, marshmallow or a touch of caramel/RY4.
How does it compare to RY4 Double?
RY4D is sweeter (vanilla/caramel). DK Tobacco II is drier and more leafy/nutty.
MTL vs DTL?
Works in both. Many use ~2–3% for MTL; often a touch lower as an accent in DTL mixes.
