Kapt'n Barsdorf's Bester Yellow (formerly Vanilla)

Tobbaco of intensive aroma both when opening the pouch and when smoked. Typical Black Cavendish smell while smoking with, chemical but pleasant, vanilla. Suprisingly flat when smoked, taste seems to dissapear.

This is, hands down, the worst tobacco I've ever smoked. Having made acquaintance with a few pretty good "drugstore" tobaccos in the US, I thought I'd give this German "gas station" tobacco a chance. What a fatal mistake!

Tin note: acrid, chemical

Moisture content: sopping wet with topping

Room note: sickeningly sweet

Taste: hard to judge, due to extreme tongue bite, definitely not vanilla, more like creosote

I would not recommend this tobacco to anyone, ever!

As a new smoker, I was hoping to try something a little more dank and tastier than the Prince Albert's Soft Vanilla. When I opened this pouch of Kapt'n Bester Vanilla, I found it to be extremely dry regardless of it's tight seal. I was smoking outside on my patio so I have little to say of the room note. lighting went well, but as I sat to test it, I was immediately disappointed with the strength - It was almost unbearable at first. I lengthened the time between puffs to let it cool a bit, but still quite harsh minutes later. Unlike the PA's Soft Vanilla, this tasted much more like vanilla extract straight from the bottle and rather detestable. I removed the tobacco from the original pouch and into a zip-lock bag which I've placed on the bottom shelf of my refrigerator in hopes to add a little moisture to it, but I'm not looking forward to giving Kapt'n Bester Vanilla a second try.

Well, someone had to try this. For the price I shouldn't complain, but I'd prefer the Prince Albert Soft Vanilla and that's cheaper still! Not much vanilla flavor (they do say 'mild') and the tobacco was not the best and bitter. My pouch was quite dry.
