| My very first pipe tobacco. I immediately liked the smell as I opened the pouch.
It has a very nice natural tobacco and vanilla taste and some whiskey undertones. The room note is pleasant and is as a pipe tobacco should be. I recommend this blend as a cost effective tobacco. I had not issues with the burning of this blend, tongue bite or gunk in the bowl. Unlike the Also Black which I found did seem to burn a little hot and did get wet towards the end.

| I don't often smoke aromatics, although I tend to have an aromatic open when I'm trying to be sensitive to the sensibilities of those near me.
Alsbo vanilla looks like a cheap and nasty pouch aromatic and I expected it to bite and taste of chemicals (sure, Vanillin is a chemical, but I hope you know what I mean).
My prejudice was unfounded and I was quite impressed with this pouch tobacco. There's nothing complicated about this smoke, It's just a lovely soft vanilla from start to finish. It didn't bite and it wasn't gloopy, although I suppose if one puffed too hard or too fast this could change.
I keep some handy to throw into other aromatics that I'm not so keen on.

| This is the tobacco I wanna smoke when there is good looking chikcs around, who understands after a good man!! For me arome is pleasant, and roomnote is mind melting.
Ofcourse there is a lot of syrup, but good blend, with small bite.
and tin aroma is candy-a-like!!

| Not bad. There is a pleasant taste and arome, but on the downside it a) Smokes very hot b) Smokes very wet c) Has a reasonably strong tonge bite. Not the worst aromatic in the world, but not the best either. It will be some time before I try it again.

| This tobacco was my first try. After this I tried some others. This is very mild and it gives you couple of tongue bites. Maybe because I was a bit inexperienced smoker. When I went to other brands I did not have the same effect. I went to try Alsho again and I had the same tongue bites.
In my opinion this is very mild that as a result you try to smoke it a bit faster and therefore that is why you get the tongue bites.
Taste is mild. Even if you smoke it slowly and try to let the smoke out of your nose, the taste will be mild.
Room note is pleasant to tolerable.
Good point with this tobacco is that I usually smoke it in the eve before going to bed. Since it is not strong it does not leave too much smoke smell on your face skin, clothes on mouth. Good if you have a nagging wife or girlfriend !!

| If you got a leather tongue, this is your tobacco. It´s a good begginers choice to notice what is a tongue bit, but also a full pleasure taste. If you can smoke this, you can smoke everything. It´s one of the few tobaccos that really tastes vanilla, maybe because the satured flavoring. Just say: A cheap and easy burning blend but a little wet smoking.

| Fairly good aromatic; there is certain a number of better vanilla tobacco's available, therefore I was in doubt if I would rate it 2 or 3 stars.

| Yes I have to agree with my other 4 star buddy here, a cracking baccy. A mild and pleasant aromatic that will leave the pipe well flavoured and ready for another bowl of the same. All you mild baccy lovers need to take your hats off at this one.

| Just like the other Alsbo aromatics I've tried, the tobacco is smooth and extremely mild, and its dosed with a really generous helping of syrup- in this case vanilla. Seriously, people at the other end of the street will be turning around and sniffing...
For some reason the vanilla flavour gives this blend a little more body than the other Alsbo tobaccos, slightl more full, I find it a bit more satisfying. Again, it will take a few bowlfuls before the flavour has built up enough to taste of vanilla all the way to the end, and it is a very leasant smoke, as mild aromatics go. Does what it says on the tin.

| I'm a new one in the Pipe-smoking scene and somebody said I had to taste a Vanilla tobacco because he really loved the smell of it. Then it always comes down to choosing the right tobacco. This particular tobacco had a nice room-aroma, the retailer told me. Unfortunately my friends didn't really notice any good aroma. Also the taste was pretty strong, with really almost no scent of vanilla in it. Further probably due to the black Cavendish in it, it was a pretty strong tobacco, but no specific vanilla one unfortunately. Really am going to try some oter vanilla ones, but let this one pass-by. So on the room-note: it wasn't a strong room-aroma, but it wasn't a pleasant one.
