Super Value Vanilla Cavendish

Has little tobacco flavor outside of a toast note or two, and some sugar. The Vanilla is the star, of course. The strength and taste levels are mild. Does not have much nicotine. It won't bite or get harsh. Dry it first, or you'll risk a bowl of goop at the bottom. Burns cool, and a little slow if not dried, and requires some relights. The flavor is very consistent to the finish. Has a decent, short lived, thin vanilla after taste, and a very pleasant room note. An all day smoke.

like everyone, i selected pipe tobacco based on the recommendations of others, buying sample packs, or cheap stuff. Found a few that i loved from reputable companies. then one day i discovered a fellow pipe smoker at work, he's been doing it 40 years plus. seen him in his truck on break smoking, smell filled the parking lot! the ladies at work love running up to him just so they can smell that pipe aroma on him. I asked him one day, what the hell are you smoking?! he told me," oh some cheap stuff i get at the smoke shop." so went down there, it was this stuff for $3. i had my share of cheap stuff, stood there thinking i know this is a bad idea- but bought it anyway. I HAVE HAD MORE COMPLIMENTS ABOUT THE AROMA WITH THIS THAN I HAVE HAD WITH ANY OTHER TOBACCO! just recently sitting outside during our towns 4th of july celebration having a smoke, people were looking around and asking whats that, that smells so good, my niece answered its my uncles pipe. Ive never had trouble lighting it or keeping it lit, ive never opened a wet bag of it either. i open, fill, light, smoke, enjoy, collect compliments, thats it! burns nicely and completely. my friend said the cherry was better, I like both! my recommendation- keep searching for a tobacco that suits you, my search is over!

I enjoy this Super Value vanilla pipe tobacco. Aromatic and great taste! It is affordable and available for regular folks. My grand children always flock around when I fire up my twice daily pipe.

An OTC cheapo is the fare for the day by default. From Dream Castle Tobacco, manufactured by Sutliff, I present Super Value Vanilla Cavendish. Okay so I didn’t have much opportunity this week to exert much energy on as new blend review per say, so you get what you get. Vanilla Cavendish is budget bulk-packaged ribbon cut mixture consisting of 100% assorted varietal Cavendish lightly dressed in a sweet vanilla topping or as they would have you believe. Actually, it stands as a fairly respectable looking jumble of warm brown and cocoa strands. This wetter tobacco emits a somewhat feeble pouch nose, however, of passive vanilla mist, diluted cocoa, and a dominant punchy cigarette-like mélange of sweet Burley wood/tarty Virginian affluence.

First let me state this again, this particular blending is a budget-centered offering, so set your expectations accordingly. Now I don’t want to necessarily say that smoking this blend is close to a bowl of unflavored Cavendish but that would a fair comparison honestly. This incredibly mild mixture is significantly light in body with an overall taste profile that is essentially a tedious indulgence a weakened sugary air.

Specifically, the vanilla in itself is more a C- grade impression than it is a recognizable note. Calling the coating an actual registration is somewhat generous to be frank. It tenders more as a vague sweetness that is illusory in nature rather than a clean pop of classic vanilla that one should expect. As to the native influence not much happening there either. Aside from a fragile tinge of non-commotional tartness, earthy zest, and indistinct wood-like subtlety, the Cavendish’s inexplicit magnitude is fairly bland in persona and shrilling impact. In sum an uneventful undertaking lacking distinguishable taste unfortunately.

On a positive word, very nice mechanical features overall despite a bit of harshness in the texture and mouth feel. Vanilla Cavendish possesses a very smoky character, endowing a rich stream of dense gray pillowy smoke vapor. The room note is so relaxed and unobtrusive that I could easily deem this candidly tolerable to most onlookers. It burns reasonably tight and cool with a low level of nicotine residuals. Perhaps a good starter blend for newbies. As for me I use it primarily as mixer in a few “Jim-originated” concoctions which really helps to level out the convergence of different taste streams while adding more body to the smoke overall mix. You may love this stuff and if you do, then hey, ignore me and enjoy until your hearts content. Russ, I don’t think a trip to the Smokies will progress my assessment of this one, however. 1.5 Pipes

I would consider Super Value to be the standard when it comes to my experience with pouch blends. Not great but not bad. Tin note (or pouch in this case) presents only what appears to be a damp tobacco scent. The only vanilla I detect is in the room note and after aroma. Better than nothing if you’re in a pinch or on a budget but there are much better vanilla aros out there that are worth spending a couple bucks more on, Sutliff Panna Cotta being one of them.

I prefer this to S.Pride Vanilla. In my opinion, quite frankly, it's a better smelling, tasting, and smoking product (once dried for a day), in the marginal example of 2 bags that I have compared. I rarely smoke this independently, using it mainly as a blender. In saying that, when I do, I get an approving yet "mehh" nod from Maestro da Nares. I probably use it with their Peach and Cherry blends the most often (they seem to help each other), but sometimes their Chocolate.

This is not a bad blend. The vanilla is mild, the tobaccos are allowed to peek through. Dry it out a bit before you load and light and you will be rewarded with a somewhat sweet, mild smoke. Certainly worth keeping around for those times when deciding what to smoke is a problem.

Super Value - Vanilla Cavendish.

The name of this blend would serve well as a review!

A fairly coarse mixture of brown Cavendish ribbons. It has as potent aromatic aroma and very good hydration.

The smoke? Nice enough, but just another of the ubiquitous vanilla aromatics; sweet tasting Cavendish with quite a heavy addition of vanilla. So, that means there isn't much to deliberate on! Mechanically it does ok, slow burning at a steady rate. The only problems I find are that it can be a little warm, and I get a touch of bite.

Nicotine: mild. Room-note: pleasant.

Super Value Vanilla Cavendish? To be fair it's an ok smoke, but like I said, it's just ANOTHER vanilla aromatic. Somewhat recommended:

Two stars.

What can I say...just some very ordinary vanilla flavor over some ordinary tobacco...nothing really special here....added this to my ":All Things Vanillia" jar. Maybe if you had a good burly to mix this with you may have something better!

Dry it first, or you will end up with some serious goop in your bowl. good taste. awesome room note. very good smoke on a budget.
