I'm not going to compare this to other aromatic blends costing several times more. Taken for what it is, a super bargain, it deserves 4 stars. Paid 17 bucks for a 12 ounce bag, more than a bargain it's a great value since it tastes and smells quite good. Burns cool, no goopy junk at the bottom, and I just love the aroma.
The flavor is mild, you can still taste tobacco, the vanilla casing is strong but it comes out more as aroma and room note. While there is a faint chemical undertone (to be expected from a blend like this one) it is not as PG laden as Captain Black or any of the other Lane blends. In fact, this stuff is less than half the price of Captain Black and more than twice as good.
The only slight issue is the cut; very rough cut that makes it sometimes hard to evenly pack a bowl. At this price though I can't complain.
I will highly recommend this if you like aromatics

I understand opinions are opinions but I dont understand some of these negative reviews. Its not that bad of a drugstore blend, in fact its way better than Captain Black white. It has less of a chemical taste as in CB blends. The mix of the black cavendish create a nice and pleasant vanilla aroma. Smokers Pride vanilla is a lot better than a lot of "vanilla" drugstore blends. I have smoked a lot of high end tobaccos in my days of pipe smoking and this rates up there with some high end aromatics. The flavors I pick up are sugar cookies with buttercream tints. It smells like a chocolate/vanilla cookie. There really is no bite unless you puff like a chimney. Its not heavily cased like most drugstore aromatics. Moist to the touch but not too moist. I recommend this blend to anyone with a sweet tooth and likes aromatics. It might not appeal to the english smokers. I honestly think people are just ashamed to admit they "like" a drugstore blend but I'm not afraid to admit it one bit.. this is pretty good stuff for a drugstore blend. I was actually very shocked.

What can I say.....WOW!!!! Im very impressed with Lanes "drugstore" blends. So far, this is my favorite blend from Smoker's Pride. Wonderful taste, Excellent aroma, and it packs and smokes quite well. If your in a bind and can't get ahold of your perfered Import, give this a try, and by all means.....share!! Your friends will thank you for this diamond in the rough.

I found this brand to be rather potent for an aromatic. I took a full puff on my pipe like always, and it felt like I just snorted fine columbian blend cocaine through my nose it burnt so bad. One of the first aromatics (unless you consider captain black white an aromatic) I tried. $1.59 at my local smoke shop, I always stock up on it when I make it to the area. Smoker's Pride cherry and vanilla cavendish is an excellent 2 blend mixture.I will def. try the regular black cavendish and the rum cured tobacco by this fine company.......Lane Limited should show more pride in their make and actually include this in their brands.
