Cornell & Diehl - Engine #611.
LOL, not the kind of vanilla aromatic I'd recommend for a newbie!
Supplied from bulk so I'm unable to comment on the moisture from a tin, but this pouch was smack on. The aroma isn't like your usual vanilla aromatics, it's a little fragrant. The blend is mainly a mix of browns, hardly any blacks, and apart from a few coarser pierces, it's mostly made of well rubbed ribbons.
The flavour's quite unusual for a vanilla aromatic. It isn't sticky, sweet, or clumsy. The vanilla has a sort of herby quality to it, as well as some vanilla-sweetness; it's 'edgier' than the most of this genre, hence why I wouldn't suggest it to a new smoker. The tobaccos? Engine #611 is more of a VaBur aromatic, the black Cavendish seems virtually vacant. It burns steadily, giving a cool, bite free, smoke.
Nicotine: not too mild. Room-note: not good.
Engine #611? To be blunt, I don't like it. Not recommended:
One star.

I bought Engine 611 since the 611 locomotive is my favorite steam engine. Wish C&D had got the rights to use a photo on the tins as she is a beauty.
As for the tobacco, I bought some bulk during a sale. It's an interesting blend in there is vanilla in it, but it's more complex than say 1Q. I got quite a bit of the background tobacco which were earthy with the vanilla adds sweet top notes. With age there is a menthol herby hint ala crooner which makes me think there might be some deer tongue in this
It's a C&D ribbon cut. Easy to pack, easy to light. I got just a hint of tongue bite if I pushed too hard. If not, it was easy to keep tamed and burned nicely without relights.
It's not something that I'd buy again, but its worth smoking up the jar that I still have.
