| Have more than an occasional penchant for a good vanilla aromatic, this did not make the grade. I refer to this blend as the ?incredible steam machine? as I could detect no flavor but it produces prodigious amounts of mouth scalding steam.

| Yes close to but not as harsh as Captian black white. Soft like the packaage says. A nice aroamtic with both light and dark tobaccos. A sweet blend that can gets tangy or orange tasting on and off. Pack easy no need to tamper just light it up. A real lady pleaser. A good smoke on a hot summers day. I am not a fan of vanilla blends becuase they often are a Virginia. The burley give this blend body and flavor. Nice stuff. REDDO

| Similar to Captain Black Gold, which is to say that this is also a pale boring vanilla cavendish. This does not taste bad, but it doesn't taste good either. If you want a good vanilla aromatic, there are much better out there.

| This is a well balanced vanilla burley blend. In the hot weather I've been smoking this in my aromatic pipes and enjoying it quite a bit. I mix it half and half with Velvet for a very aromatic burley smoke. Not too much goop, wonderful fresh (not artificial tasting) vanilla flavor and it's cheap and readily available. Reccomended especially considering the price.

| While this is very remenicent of Lane's RLP 6, it tastes better, burns better and has a better price ($5.00 for 9 ounces). If you love RLP 6/Captain Black, then smoke this instead and save some money.

| I picked this up with a recent on-line tobacco order thinking it would be like the regular Prince Albert with a vanilla topping. It's nothing like that at all. This is a mix of Black Cavendish (90%) and Virginia Bright and is a very appealing looking Black and Gold mixture. Opening the bag, you're hit with one of the best pouch aromas ever. It's vanilla, but nothing like I've found before. It's very similar to C&D's Mocha or Espresso blends meaning that there's a lot of different flavors coming out that aren't "just vanilla" (or coffee or whatever, etc.). Others have compared this to the Captain, but I think it's much better and way more complex tasting. Taste is sweet and vanilla and the room aroma is fantastic also. It lights fairly easy for being so moist and burns down with no problem and a few swipes of a cleaner. The ash is one of the whitest I've seen in a heavy aromatic and there's very little wet dottle at the end. Price was 9oz for 5 bucks. I think of this as a better version of Lane's RLP-6. I'm really glad I took a chance on this blend now.

| This is Prince Albert?s answer to Captain Black. It looks, smells and tastes similar to Captain Black. The difference between the two is in price. I found a place online that sells 9 ounce bags of this blend for $5.00. It doesn?t get much cheaper than that. There is nothing remarkable about this blend; it?s just a good, vanilla flavored aromatic. This is certainly not for those who require complexity in their tobacco or don?t like aromatics but if you want a respectable vanilla smoke that is dirt cheap and will be a crowd pleaser, then it?s hard to go wrong with the Prince.
Update: I've downgraded my review because I doubt that I will buy this again unless desperate. There is just too much good tobacco out there to waste money on this unless you can't get to your tobacconist.

| The local Rite Aid pharmacies and Food Lion grocery stores always seem to have this tobak on their shelves. In the realm of "drugstore" stuff PA Soft Vanilla is akin to the Capt. Blacks in looks, smell and taste, but the keyword here is "soft." It wasn't as *bitey* as some aromatics can be. I hadn't smoked this for some time now, until recently, but this one was my "cheapo" of choice in days gone by. I always had a package or two of this around. The broken/ribbon-like tobacco is mostly black w/dark browns and lighter browns w/veins of blonds. The vanilla casing is not overly heavy and poly-glycol seems to have been used in a restrained amount rendering the tobacco moist but not really sticky and wet. You'll still feel it on your fingers, but they won't stick together. Loads & lights well enough and does smoke cool and reasonably dry. Yes, there was a bit of dottle left @ bowls end and a bit of gurgle along the way. Smoking this in a filter pipe would be a good idea. The flavor was pleasant & sweet and LSW enjoyed the room aroma. I tried this again to refresh my memory & I still find it to be a satisfactory smoke, but as I rarely do aromatics like this anymore, I doubt that I will purchase much more of this. I still think it's pretty good though. Mind you, for newbies & aromatic fanciers this would be a very good choice, IMHO, and I feel it's one of the better OTC blends you can purchase especially if your really price-conscious. I've seen it priced in the range of $1.59-$1.89 per tri-fold pouch depending on the area & the store. OK for if you happen to not have any good stuff with you. Used to work for me, but it won't be a habit anymore.
