Tuscany took the pipe smoking world by storm when the PCCA released it in the early 1990s (I think). Mainly because high quality aromatics were not touted publicly back then. Most pipe fans were familiar with all the Lane offerings at their local pipe shops and I guess sort of thought of all aromatics in the same way. This Vanilla bean flavored Black Cavendish was... different. The stoved and processed Burly was the old White Burley variety and offered some punch with the flavoring. I would not try it again even it it were still available, but it was a quality aromatic and a must try for those who like vanilla in their leaf.
