Five Pawns Review

California’s signature vapor liquid flows forth from the flavor labs in sunny Irvine, where Five Pawns continues to build a nationwide following for its gourmet E-Juices.

With the company’s name standing as tribute to the five traditional tastes of the culinary world, Five Pawns offers its labors up as tribute to its own esteemed customer.

Preamble aside, Five Pawns is well-known for its highly complex premium e juices.

They are be a bit more pricey than the discount bottles at your local shop.

Their steady stream of new customers and reputation in the vaping community seem to indicate that you get what you pay for.

We’re always looking for new flavors as well as new perspectives on what e liquid can be, and so a taste of the finer things in life with Five Pawns is exactly the kind of thing we do around here.

Flavors

Signature Series

The signature series from Five Pawns is a celebration of flavor traditions, with each handcrafted juice taking a focus on one of the five basic elements of flavor.

Absolute Pin

This deep and sumptuous vape combines the bold spice of cinnamon with smooth Irish cream and caramel flavors, then adds a hit of the legendary liquid known as absinthe.

There’s no actual absinthe in the liquid, so don’t expect hallucinations or an inclination for writing 19th century literature, but the wormwood essence gives it an intoxicating profile all its own.

Bowden’s Mate

The timeless flavors of a gourmet after dinner mint are a hallmark of high class, and this flavor takes the combination to a whole new level.

It brings together rich chocolate flavor with the vibrant sharpness of mint, adding a French Vanilla undertone to make the experience all the more decadent.

Gambit

Practically everyone loves warm apple pie, and Gambit is Five Pawn’s tribute to the classic American dessert.

The juicy sweetness of apples is joined by a note of fresh baked crust and finished with caramel, French vanilla ice cream, and unsweetened whipped cream to elevate the flavor far beyond the typical kitchen window.

Grandmaster

Many late night vapers find the combination of creamy peanut butter and bright banana to be an irresistible combination, but have never experienced it like this.

Grandmaster adds a chord of caramel flavor to the layers of richness to provide depth and balance.

Queenside

Best described as mature vintage Creamsicle, Queenside brings a medley of citrus essences together to support the bold blood orange that is the focus of this flavor.

A touch of French vanilla adds the classic creaminess that ensured a box of the frozen confections barely last a week in any American household.

Mixology Edition

The Mixology Edition was Five Pawns’ expansion to the original line of 5 flavors that represent the namesake of the company.

These flavors are created to pay tribute to iconic spirits from around the world.

Castle Long

Castle Long is a Kentucky Bourbon inspired flavor. Its characteristic oaky flavor while accentuating it with notes of toasted coconut, roasted almond, Madagascar vanilla bean, and caramelized brown sugar.

A limited edition version of the flavor, Castle Long Reserve, is aged in steel barrels and offered on a seasonal basis, so if you like this one stay on the lookout for the next release.

Fifth Rank

With the Brooklyn original known as the Lime Rickey in its’ DNA, Fifth Rank puts a new spin on the cocktail with the addition of sweet champagne to the lime and effervescence characteristic of the drink.

Five Pawns deepens this refreshing flavor with sweet cream, roasted almond and vanilla bean to create yet another new twist on an old favorite.

Lucena

The complex and intricate profiles of dark spirits take the spotlight in this spiced rum tribute.

Ripe white peach and hazelnut work with these signature flavors to give the mouth-watering effect of homemade peach cobbler.

Perpetual Check

The surprising sweetness of black currant is the feature flavor in this adventurous combination of lemon zest, sweet fig, barley and cinnamon stick guaranteed to be the cure for the common flavor.

Sixty-Four

Lovers of the mojito can discover a fresh take on a familiar cocktail with Five Pawns’ Sixty-Four blend.

Grapefuit liqueur appears as a platform for lemon zest, cucumber, muddled mint and a touch of dill for an uncommon twang of flavor.

Black Flag Fallen

Black Flag Fallen is a special edition blend exclusively offered through Five Pawns’ website in limited quantities as well as in select vape shops around the country.

Aged in a stainless steel barrel until mature, Black Flag Fallen is like no other coffee vape we’ve ever had.

Combining the bold flavor of imported espresso beans with black truffle cream for a unique and delicious take on the café concept.

Every bottle is packed with a single premium espresso bean inside, and Five Pawns includes this bean to allow for added flavor harmonization during shipping and storage.

Prices

Five Pawns e juices come in just one size, 30mL, giving you ample resources to appreciate the subtleties of your chosen flavor.

Standard eJuices from the Signature Series and Mixology Edition are priced at $27.50 while a bottle of Black Flag Fallen is $30.

If you want to get your hands on a bottle of Castle Long Reserve when it comes around, your account will be $37 lighter for it, but we think it’s worth the difference.
