Planta Danish Black Vanilla

Maybe not the worst pipe tobacco of the vanilla types, but really doesn't work for me. The vanilla flavour is mild and pleasant, the black cavendish tends to re-balance the casing in a more smoky way, but in the first times the aftertaste of vanilla haunt your pipe for about free or four charges. Once the casing is gone the basic tobaccos lacking of consistency: the virginia is pratically absent and the black cavendish become preminent. the basics in combination with the vanilla's remains, obtain some sort of pointy, maybe a little bitter but surely annoying taste that remeber olive; at this point your pipe is save from the vanilla ghost but in disvantage of a good smoking experience. Try it if you want, I won't!

1 Star, (maybe 2).

Type: Artificial Medium Aromatic ; Contents: Virginia, Black cavendish ; Flavoring: Vanilla from the Madagascar ; Cut: Loose cut ; Humidity: moist but don't need to be aired when opened ; Lighting: easy with constant smoking ; Pipe recommended: any type, maybe better with a large bowl

This is a vanillin bomb which will render your pipe unusable 🙂 Comes in a funny tin with pipe holder indentation, wrapped in a plastic bag (!) which adds to the OTC impression. If you have other low-quality tobaccos you want to spice up without dumping them, add 30% of Black "Vanilla" to them, mix well, pack your cheapest pipe and puff away when you are outside for a walk. People always positively comment on the 'fragrance'. I can't imagine to smoke this stuff pure again, it's that artificial and bland after a few puffs. If you are into vanilla, try those of Mac Baren. Won't buy this again. 1 out of 5 stars - for the tin.

I definitely love vanilla flavour in food, drinks or tobaccos, but this is no vanilla, no natural flavour. Like tons of other discount aromatics, vanilla aromatics, the smell in the pouch and the taste is chemical vanilla-licorice. If you look for good virginias blended with some flavour you better run away from this.Terrible, definitely not recommended, with much respect to you fellow pipemen who like this, I can't stand it.Any possible leaf flavour is overwhelmed by the casing and reduced to a shadow. Nonetheless it doesn' t bite. Since I am not an aromatic fanatic I'll choose to smoke some.other more natural mixtures now and then.

I'm a fan of aromatics, so I bought a pouch of this to test it. All I can say is I'm bitterly disappointed -- in the pouch, the tobacco is distinctly cheap-smelling (smells of chemicals and is moist and sticky), and in the pipe it's horrible.

The first few puffs had traces of vanilla, which were soon replaced by a dull, ashy taste. The very faintly burning tobacco made it's way about halfway down the bowl, at which point it lost any vanilla taste it may have had whatsoever and started violently attacking my tongue. At this point I was definitely also noticing a distinctly gritty texture inside my mouth, which is how I imagine having tar spread over your tongue would taste like. By the end of the bowl, smelling and tasting nothing but ash, I was further disgusted by a sticky sludge at the bottom of the bowl that made it difficult to remove the leftover ash.

It behaves somewhat similar to Stanwell, though completely devoid of taste. Rubbish, ashtray-tasting tobbaco with no redeeming qualities that I am throwing away after one smoke.

This was my first foray into pipe tobacco. I would say it was a disappointment. The first couple puffs had a nice vanilla flavour, but after that, nothing. I literally could not tell whether or not the pipe was lit, I found it completely flavourless. Towards the bottom of the bowl I found it got pretty ashy and unpleasant. Girlfriend liked the smell.

I was hoping to like this one since I'm such a huge fan of bca, YUCK! the tobacco was a sticky ,there was a chemical smell and taste.

I was disappointed. The packaging was unfortunate. The plastic wrap in the tin had tainted the tobacco with it's plasticy taste. The vanilla got lost in that.

smells and taste like stanwell vanilla.to strong fruity flavoring.not gonna buy again.-

This goop is a cheap drugstore aromatic at the price of quality tobacco. The only good thing about it is the tin art.

Update: Upgraded to 1/4 because when I smoke this in meers (never in briar), sometimes (not often) I manage to taste some interesting cavendish through the flavoring, which seems to receed now and then.

Better pick: Davidoff Mild Mixture.
