Deus Classic - Jasmine Pear

Deus Classic - Jasmine Pear

£10.00

Deus Classic – Jasmine Pear is a refined, aromatic flavour built around the crisp snap of Asian pear wrapped in soft jasmine petals. On the inhale you get a juicy, almost sparkling pear note with natural sweetness and a light, cool crunch, while the exhale blooms into a gentle floral cloud that feels like fresh jasmine tea drifting in the background. The profile is bold enough to satisfy fans of stronger sessions, with a confident buzz and dense, creamy clouds, yet it stays remarkably clean and non-cloying from start to finish. Run it solo for a sophisticated fruit-floral experience, or use it as a base for creative mixes with mint, citrus, berries or creamy flavours when you want to add depth without losing that elegant pear core. Ideal for evening sessions, tastings with friends, or any time you want a flavour that feels both modern and classic in the same bowl.

Core Profile

  • Main notes: Crisp Chinese/Asian pear as the lead, supported by a soft, white-floral jasmine accord. Multiple shops and reviews describe it as “refined aroma of crisp Chinese pear with a delicate jasmine aftertaste,” which matches how it smokes in practice. 

  • Intensity: Medium-high flavour intensity. Pear comes through clearly from the first pulls; jasmine is present but not overpowering, more of a veil than a perfume blast.

  • Sweetness vs acidity: Natural, juicy sweetness with a light, refreshing acidity from the pear. It’s closer to fresh fruit than candy: sweet but not syrupy, with a slight “crunchy” sensation reminiscent of biting into a cold pear. 

  • Aroma character: On the cold smell and in the smoke, you get fruity and floral registers in equal measure: bright, juicy top notes; soft, tea-like jasmine in the mid and finish. There’s often a subtle green/skin nuance from the pear that keeps the profile lively rather than flat.

  • Unique undertones:

    • Light jasmine-tea vibe on the finish (floral, slightly herbal, very gentle).

    • A faint honeyed sweetness in the background as the bowl warms up.

    • In over-packed or overheated setups, the jasmine can lean into a drier “white tea / potpourri” edge, so controlled heat is important.

Leaf / Strength / Handling

  • Base leaf: Deus Classic uses a straight Burley base, with no blend of Virginia or other leaves, which gives it a noticeable strength and a denser body compared to standard blonde lines. 

  • Strength level:

    • Brand positioning and shop specs: often listed as medium to high strength (“крепость средняя/высокая”). 

    • Community feel: realistically smokes as a medium-strong flavour—heavier than classic blondes like Adalya, lighter than the harshest darkleafs. Good for regular users; beginners should start with shorter sessions or mixes.

  • Cut: Medium to medium-fine leaf, fairly uniform; minimal stems. Most shops call it “medium cut.” 

  • Moisture: Above average juiciness but not flooded; syrup is balanced so it doesn’t feel dry yet doesn’t drip excessively. In practice this gives easy packing and good flavour saturation without that “soggy” feel. 

  • Packing style:

    • Optimal: fluffy to semi-dense pack just below rim in phunnel or hybrid bowls.

    • You can push to a more dense pack for experienced users and stronger buzz, but adjust heat carefully.

  • Heat tolerance:

    • High heat resistance 

    • Handles 2–3 cubes on foil or an HMD easily if airflow is good; tends to forgive minor over-heating as long as you manage coal rotation.

Performance Notes

  • Cloud output: Thick, heavy smoke typical of Burley-based flavours—big, milky clouds once the bowl warms up. Many shop descriptions emphasise dense, saturated smoke and long-lasting aroma for Deus in general. 

  • Smoothness / harshness behaviour:

    • When packed fluffy/semi-dense with proper heat, Jasmine Pear smokes surprisingly smooth for its strength: no aggressive throat scratch, jasmine stays soft.

    • Overheating mainly dries out the jasmine and makes it feel slightly bitter/tea-like rather than immediately harsh; true harshness appears when you both over-pack and over-heat.

  • Longevity:

    • Expect 70–90 minutes of usable flavour in a well-packed phunnel with quality coals.

    • Pear stays present for most of the session; jasmine may fade slightly in the last third, leaving a more pear-dominant profile.

  • Flavour stability:

    • Early phase: brighter, more floral and aromatic.

    • Middle: the “sweet spot”—pear and jasmine perfectly intertwined, clouds at max density.

    • Late: jasmine recedes, pear warmth and a light honey note stay in the background.

  • Recommended bowls:

    • Phunnel: best control, minimal syrup loss, very stable flavour.

    • Shallow Turkish / Egyptian: works well for shorter, punchier sessions; keep the pack slightly looser to avoid over-cooking the top layer.

  • Recommended heat setups:

    • Foil: 2–3 25mm cubes, starting with 3 then dropping to 2 as bowl warms; poke good airflow and use a heat-management ring/windcover only briefly.

    • HMD: Level, semi-dense pack just below the rim, full pre-heated HMD with 2–3 coals; vent or lift lid if jasmine starts to feel too dry or tea-bitter.

Pairing & Mix Ideas

  1. Jasmine Pear x Cold Mint (fresh floral-ice)

    • 70% Jasmine Pear / 30% strong mint or “cold” flavour (e.g., Deus Cooler or any icy mint).

    • Logic: accentuates the crisp, refreshing pear and turns jasmine into an iced floral tea. Ideal for hot weather and fans of bright, cooling bowls. 

  2. Jasmine Pear x Catmint x Candy Citrus (complex candy-floral)

    • Inspired by DEUS ambassador mixes: 50% Jasmine Pear / 30% catmint / 20% candy or Skittles-style citrus flavour. 

    • Logic: catmint adds a soft herbal-mint backbone; candy citrus brings a playful, juicy top note without drowning the pear. The result is a layered, modern fruit-floral candy profile.

  3. Jasmine Pear x Strawberry (dessert fruit salad) 60% Jasmine Pear / 40% natural strawberry (e.g., Darkside Strawberry or similar). 

    • Pear provides crunch and light acidity, strawberry supplies jammy sweetness. Jasmine floats over the top like a floral glaze, giving “spring fruit salad with flowers” vibes.

  4. Jasmine Pear x Cream/Yogurt (pear yogurt cup) 65% Jasmine Pear / 35% creamy yogurt flavour (e.g., blueberry yogurt-type line or neutral cream without heavy berry).

    • Cream rounds off acidity and deepens mouthfeel, turning the mix into a dessert-like pear yogurt with a subtle jasmine swirl. Great for evening, slower sessions.

  5. Jasmine Pear x Citrus (pear lemonade with jasmine) 60% Jasmine Pear / 40% lemon or lemon-lime flavour.

    • Citrus tightens the profile, adding sparkle and extra acidity. End result feels like a chilled pear-jasmine lemonade—very refreshing and highly sessionable.

     

  6. Jasmine Pear x Green Apple (green orchard blend) 50% Jasmine Pear / 50% crisp green apple

    • Both flavours share a crunchy, juicy character. Apple adds tartness and bite, while jasmine keeps the mix elegant and aromatic—perfect for those who like sharp, not-too-sweet bowls.

  7. Jasmine Pear x Dark Berry (evening floral-berry) 55% Jasmine Pear / 45% blackberry, blackcurrant or dark berry mix.

    • Darker berries introduce depth and a slight tannic edge, playing beautifully with jasmine’s tea-like nuance. This gives a more mature, wine-adjacent profile suited for night sessions and pairing with wine or cocktails.
