I'm an "all day smoker," and vanilla is my favorite aromatic, so this amazingly priced blend has become my go to. There's just a bit of nicotine left over from from the burly - based cavendish, and unlike some cavendish, this blend help blow some amazingly luxurious clouds of delicious smelling smoke.
The biggest praise I can give this is that my girlfriend loves the smell. It sticks to my beard, and if I'm smoking in a closed place it hangs on my jacket.
One of the only reasons I can imagine that Drexel hasn't dominated the market is that it comes in pouches. To some, this is a downside, to me it's a great way to pass savings onto the customer. After all, tins and pouches alike go into the same mason jars.

Scandinavian Tobacco - Drexel II.
A mild, sweet, and uncomplicated, smoke.
It isn't overly heavy on the black Cavendish, it has about 25% in it. The pouch-note is a good example of the flavour of the smoke: vanilla. It's too moist, but not appallingly so.
The smoke: if you enjoy a blend which gives plumes of thick, cool, palpable, smoke, this is for you. The vanilla's definitely present, but not too gloopy. For the first half it's about mild to medium, but after halfway the vanilla seems to condense, becoming closer to medium than mild. The two tobaccos give a mild, and relaxed flavour: no Virginia sharpness, instead it's the sweeter variety. It burns efficiently, leaving a white ash.
Nicotine: mild. Room-note: very pleasant.
I've smoked enough of this to feel it deserves full marks:
Four stars.
