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.

I really don't understand the reason of so many bad reviews: the tin smell is fantastic, to die for, the taste is of chocolate, vanilla and fruit, well melded and not overwhelming, the tobacco burns well to a gray ash. What can I ask more from an aromatic? I plan to try also the flake version, as soon as possible. Higly recommended.
UPDATE 2015-12-31 Now I've tried the flake version and it seems to me that both the tobacco and the topping are substantially the same as in the ribbon version; however I've tried also an old tin (don't know how much old ...) of the ribbon version and in fact the taste was much different. So I suspect that they have changed lately the ribbon version to reflect almost exactly the flake one...

I don't get where all the hate for this blend comes from. Absolutely terrific on the palate and in the nose. Flavor changes several times through the duration of the smoke and stays delicious through to the bottom of the bowl. No ashiness, no dottle. Planta set out to give aromatic lovers what they really crave, and Danish Black Vanilla gives it to them good and hard. This is Queen of the Aromatics.

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. 🙂

This vanilla is one of the best I have smoked.
It raises to the char light, lights even and burns evenly through out the entire bowl.
Several flavors are present although none of the blends are overwhelming to the taste buds. There is always the pleasant favor of vanilla thoughout the entire smoke. This vanilla flavor is not overwhelming but definately adds to the enjoyable experience of smoking this Planta blend.
