G. L. Pease The Virginia Cream
(2.98)
Distinctively delicious! G.L. Pease seasons fine red and golden flue cured Virginia tobaccos with rare condimental leaf, enhancing the result with a subtle vanilla/bourbon topping that is never overbearing. Rare for a blend of its genre, The Virginia Cream delivers on its aromatic promise from the first puff to the bottom of the bowl, while leaving the pipe clean and free of phantom flavors. An all-American blend ideal for Virginia fanciers craving something a little sweeter.

Uncovering the container and smelling its aroma makes you want to eat it, like a box of vanilla cookies, and the touch of tobacco is pleasantly spongy, one of those that loads very easily. Once the pipe is lit, you can see that the coverage is applied lightly, so if you are not an aromatic smoker but buy one from time to time to try and change pace, this could be a strong candidate, as long as you like the very light vanilla flavor. If you've smoked the rich tobacco Eight State Burley (Cornell & Diehl), 2021 small batch series, and detected a light coverage, I'd say it could be something very similar to this. Some reviewers have described it as a "pleasant experience," so I'd agree with those comments.
Similar, with an application of vanilla from Madacascar, is the Vanilla Roll Cake / Classic Roll Cake (Mac Baren).

Tin note of spices, sweet Rasins and vanilla. Tobacco brown, tan and black Ribbon/course cut is mostly dry and needs no prep. Burns normal with few relights. The strength is mild to medium and nic is mild. Flavoring is mild, with notes of Vanilla. It quickly fades to the back where the bourbon stays. Taste is medium and mostly consistent, with notes of mild spiced stewed plum, moderately spicy, dry earth, wood, floral, mild lemon grass, mild raisin, a lightly sweet nut background note, and a moderately peppery retro. Virginia is leading with support from Kentucky and Perique. Cavendish and flavoring are supporting from the rear, mostly unseen. Room note is pleasant, and aftertaste is good.
