Dan Tobacco Sweet Vanilla Honeydew

I normally smoke burley blends and virginia flake and perique blends. So needless to say I was looking for a wife pleaser and I believe to have found it. This weed is top quality and pretty delicious. My Peterson system pipes took to this blend very well. Very delightful makes me and the wife smile. Also keeps me indoors, it won't replace my virginia/perique blends but a couple of times a week sounds good. I highly recommend this to aromatic smokers looking to get away from the drugstore blends.

In my experience, one of the problems with aromatics is the difference between what they promise and what they deliver.If you are an aromatic smoker this one delivers. The taste stays throughout the bowl. I notice a slight sourness about 1/2 way through (might be the tobacco intensifying) but it smooths out and burns fairly clean to the bottom. You can definitely taste the virginia in this blend, so unlike some aromatics that contain burley, this one commands respect. All in all, a good quality tobacco and a pleasant experience.

Distributed in the USA by C.A.O. Hard to locate @ my local shops but an easy find on the net. Delightful aroma in both the tin and the room but not heavily cased as a true aromatic would be. No syrupy goo in the bowl although the taste lingers in the pipe used. I clean before changing tobaccos. One of the few that my wife compliments even indoors. It has been pressed as a flake but rubbed out quite evenly. I normally smoke straight VA flakes and must be carefull or this blend will get slightly hot. I prefer a smaller bowl pipe to avoid the wettness I experienced in my large Charatans. Even flavor from start to finish and uniform ash. However, I taste more of the VA tobacco than the hint of vanilla. This one is too expensive for me to be an everday smoke but I really enjoy it as a treat.

Great tobacco from the creation of Mr.M-A. The fresh and medium virginias combine perfectly with the aromas of honey and vanilla.

I like to enjoy it after a meal, a good coffee...it is an ideal dessert.

E.S

Tin note is sweet bread, vanilla and bubblegum, but it has a familiar chemical smell that I could not place, sort of like gasoline. It took me a while to pin point, then it hit me, that cheap pink industrial liquid handsoap they used to have in public buildings like restaurants, schools, factories etc. That bubblegum scented stuff, so strange. Don't get me wrong, I actually like the smell of that soap, and SVH, but it is an odd smell for a tobacco nonetheless. It tastes pretty good, surprisingly. Virginia forward and quality leaf, there is the bread, dough, hay, pepper and honey. The topping is mildly applied, the tobacco isn't wet, sticky or greasy and needs maybe 5 - 10 minutes to dry, if any. It brings vanilla confectionery and a nondescript fruitiness. Very smooth taste with a toasty, peppery finish. A terrific aromatic as it tastes strongly of virginia, with the topping being more noticeable to the room than the smoker. Very similar to Mac B's Vanilla Cream, except more vanilla/fruit and less floral/grass. Unfortunately, for me, SVH nips a little bit, not bad, but it's a sipper, a coaxer, and I think the flavour is worth it. Nice aftertaste too. I'd guess this will cellar alright as it's straight virginia and the topping is mild. 3.5 stars rounded down to 3, I could easily go the other way to 4, but I'm just not sold on it quite yet. Blame the tendency to nip my tongue if I stop paying attention. Not recommended for beginners, but definitely for the experienced who love good virginias with a little added sweetness. If you're a fan of MB Vanilla Cream, you will be a fan of Sweet Vanilla Honeydew. Final note, my gal says this one possesses her favourite room note... you've been informed.

I'm a new pipe smoker...but PastorPipe has given what I would call a very accurate review as I concur with his words almost exactly. Nice tin note...the tobacco appeared to come out of the tin ready to smoke without any drying required. The smoke did give a pleasant room note but I was hard pressed to taste any vanilla of any kind. After about a quarter of the bowl I did start to get other subtle tastes from the various tobaccos. The end result I find is a decent tobacco to smoke with little taste for those smokers who have interest in smoking an aromatic without the noticeable flavors of anything added to the tobacco!! I'll give it a 2...and I'm sure I won't buy again as I'm looking for something with more flavor. I'll finish the tin but I'll treat it as a regular tobacco rather than an aromatic with regard to how it tastes rather than how it "should" taste and smell!!

As close to vanilla as you can get.Sometimes the taste gets overwhelming for me and i can't smoke it all day, but for the aromatic fan this is a must try blend.

This blend must have been made with regard only for those around the person smoking it, as it is quite mild but gets rave reviews about how great it smells when it's in my pipe. That's not a bad thing, especially if your significant other doesn't like "tobacco smell." Unfortunately the aroma enjoyed by the room doesn't come through for the person actually smoking the bowl, and though I like to have SVH on hand for those around me, it's not one that I actually get much from. Be aware that this stuff DOES BITE unless smoked slowly.

a nice virgina lightely flavored with vanilla. a lite smoke and flavoring i find make it a very plesant blend. i am a fan of stright viriginas and this does not dissapoint
