Scandinavian Tobacco Group (STG) Skandinavik Vanilla Cavendish

Well it's my first review and this is my first tobacco that i've ever smoked so i don't have so much experience but i'll write down what i got from smoking that blend.

Strength: I used to be a cigarette smoker so i'm used to different kinds of strengths in tobaccos..i would say that my very first bowl of this blend was about medium strength not so strong not so mild.

Flavor: i'd say it's about medium to strong. When you first open this bag you would smell the aroma of the Cavendish that it brings you up memories of a childhood (especially if you used to like vanilla). it reminds you of real vanilla and it seems delicious.

Taste: a bit disappointing as the taste can't be compared to the flavor you've got when you are opening the bag. That makes you realize how chemical was the aroma of the blend as you don't get any vanilla at all when you smoke it.

Room Note: It's strong and pleasant to those who like vanilla. So i don't recommend anyone to smoke and sit next to someone who doesn't like vanilla. the blend "screams" by its aroma to whole room.

Conclusion: An all around ordinary blend who doesn't give anything at all to the smoker and it's especially for those who are new to pipe smoking. But it's good for breaking a pipe and making a good cake. As for the aroma there are only two things to consider in vanilla. you love it or you hate it.

My 100th review! Whew it took me ten years to get to this point. I am amazed when I see reviewers that first signed up in 2013 and have over 100 reviews in a year, did they smoke 100 tobacco's in a year or write down their impressions in a book to be reviewed on this site later?

Why o why did they discontinue Skandinavik Vanilla from the US? I LOVED this blend, it was the best of all the Vanilla Cavendish's I've tried over the years. Very natural, not goopy and just a delight. Think Full Aroma with the topping used on Macbaren's Vanilla Cream, that's the best analogy I can think of. It's a shame that we have the likes of Borkum Riff still on shelves and blends like this are removed. O well live and learn, now when I really love a blend I stock up enough tins to last me a couple of years.

***Thanks for letting me review 100 blends on this site and to those who have read my reviews over the years! Happy Halloween everyone!***

It has a very strong smell while being plesent at the same time. Smokes very well and it has an awesome vanilla taste. If you can't find the "Black Vanilla-Danish mixture" this one is the one to go with.

An aromatic blend for aromatic lovers.Give it a try if you love aromatics.Vanilla and caramel are the flavors that overwhelmed you when opening the pouch.Taste is full to strong.Room aroma very pleasant.Good quality tobacco.

Having become a regular pipe smoker not so long ago, i've been sort of browsing through some of the brands i can find here in Portugal.

I was curious on Vanilla aromatics, since i had read a lot on some of them, and felt like giving it a try. I'm still smoking the pouch, but the first impressions were quite pleasant. It lights well, and indeed burns hot. I truly enjoyed its taste, and will now and then be becoming to this brand, unless i find one that pleases me more.

No bite at all!

Eventually, i'll update the experience when the hole pouch is smoked.

Got it today! I am mostly a Latakia man! But I like some Caramel and Vanilla now and then... This is the best Vanilla blend I have ever tried to date! It is more like Caramel / Vanilla not Vanilla IMO; Packs easily, lights easily, no goop, no diziness. Great taste and wonderful aroma! Love it.

This seems to me smoking a vanilla pudding, but no one good, one of those that can be found in a discount supermarket.

This is a SWEET, very sweet vanilla aromatic, and it is delicious.

The smoke is mild and fruity, the vanilla flavor is more candy-like, there is no bite but the bowl will heat like a nuclear reactor, so you may consider slow down your puffing cadence.

This is the first tobacco pouch I bought when I started smoking the pipe 2 years ago! Although I am not an aromatic person I believe that this one (together with the Regular) is the best of the Skandinavic series and it is a good vanilla dosage for the vanilla craver and the aromatic follower. I like the vanilla of it with a cup of black coffee! Very sweet but also very light in nicotine but also quite dimensional in taste as the orientals leave a light undertone of spicy aroma from time to time. One has to dedicate a pipe on that animal as the vanilla sweetness seems to ?stain? the pipe! Skandinavic blends are really basic tobaccos but this one does worth the try! It?s an Orlik product after all and worth of some respect! Had that blend some Kentucky touch and strength I would have given it the forth star?(Hmmmm?.!!!!) Anyway...Smoke in peace! Hail to the art!
