Life Goes On

A while back I had the opportunity to review The Belvedere™ E-cigars from Smart Smoke® and found them to be high quality, top of the line products. Here are the links to the original reviews;  The Belvedere™ and The Belvedere™ Slim .  Today we look at newest models in the Smart Smoke® e-cgiar line, The Belvedere™ Flavor.  The Belvedere™ is now available in six flavors: original (cigar), cherry, grape, honey, huckleberry and vanilla.

Vanilla  - light, creamy and sweet with a warm glowing aftertaste. If you've been
