Planta Danish Black Vanilla
(1.93)
A blend of twelve American and Korean Virginias selected and blended with burley. The mixture ripens in a special cavendish process and achieves its superb flavor through the addition of genuine Madagascar vanilla. A very tasty even burning tobacco.

Well it's not bad, but a bit... disappointing? I found the taste hardly detectable, just plain bland. I disagree with it being a hot smoke, however, I found it be a very well-behaved (although fast) smoke. Surprisingly, it burns down to an ash with no soppy remnants (expected from an aromatic).
Do plan on finishing this large tin though, and giving it the benefit of the doubt, perhaps I'll discover the taste in it yet. Still, it's something to reach for if you want a very non-committal smoke.

I don't know why the reviews are so harsh. This tobacco has a nice vanilla taste and unlike Stanwell's vanilla, it doesn't give a savoury chemical experience (i think Stanwell's can only be smoked with a filter, than it tastes nice). It's not very sweet, but all in all a pleasant tobacco.

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.

A really nice tin aroma but there was something wrong with the taste of it.
It did not burn well and had a tendency to get hot.

For a sweet Cavendish;this tobacco is outstanding!I'm a Virgina-Puritan,at heart.I have Huge Respect for a tobacco blender that can make a blend,that has LOADS of Flavoring...Palatable.They obviously DID THEIR HOMEWORK,2Get it Right.Quite amazed it doesn't 'Ruin' and soup up your pipe;like most aromatics. Give it a try You Might Be Pleasantly Surprised. 🙂

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.
