Dan Tobacco Sweet Vanilla Honeydew

I both the new tin last week. I thought this could be one of my favorite. Upon finishing 3 bowls, I could not stand not to write this review. This is the worst aromatic I have ever experienced and There is nothing you can detect so called sweet, and vanilla. It left me so bitter and sour though I smoke very gentle with my fresh pipe. The room note is horrible. I threw it to dust bin. Stay away from this overrated tobacco.

As "KISS" said in their famous song about a lady of the evening in the 1970's - "She looked good, She was hotter than hell". That pretty much describes this tobacco.Smells great but could weld steel from the heat and bite.Pass.

I've never smoked sulphuric acid but can imagine it must taste like Dan's Sweet Vanilla Honeydew.

I've tried this in several pipes with the same result. A bitter and acidic taste takes center stage here. It's absolutely horrible.

Maybe I got a bad tin or maybe it's just my system but this was the single most unpleasant smoking experience in 17 years of piping.

I am sorry to say that i didn´t like this one at all! The smell out of the pouch is just overwhelming artificiall and reminds me more of candy floss than anything else. Because of the ribbon cut i find it hard to fill and difficult to stay lit. The taste is very sweet from the virginias used and gets even more sweeter through the flavouring to become almost overwhelming! Unfortunately i could not taste any vanilla or honeydew at all! For my taste just sweetness isn´t enough and with all the atention needed to keep the pipe going i can not recomend this one...

I bought a tin of this due to all the favorable reviews. I don't know what other people were smoking, but it couldn't have been this Sweet Vanilla Honeydew.

This tobacco has zero tobacco taste or smell. There is also hardly any vanilla taste or smell, and no sign at all of any 'honeydew'. This thing is so mild it's like smoking fresh air with a slight hint of vanilla.

By all means try this 'tobacco' (I hesitate to call it that because apart from looking at it in the tin, there's no actual smell or taste of tobacco), but why not just suck fresh air through your pipe - you'll get the same result and save a lot of money.

Recommended for people who want to smoke something that hasn't got the slightest smell or taste of pipe tobacco.

This tobacco has an unusual aroma...a bit sour...kind of artificial and not what I would call honeydew..vanilla very low note. This is another one that I'm going to let sit and revisit. There is something about it that reminds me of my travels to the far east ..I can't quite figure out why. I'm hoping it improves with age. I would recommend asking someone for a pinch to try but if you are expecting true vanilla and sweet honeydew melon you might be disappointed. Will update in a few months.

I think this blend description is wrong - they are using white BURLEY here, NOT Virginias.

The tobacco taste and aroma in this one are identical to the drug store burleys I have smoked. In fact, when I first lit this one, I immediately thought "Hmmmmm, a nice staright burley".

Yes, I've read the description here and re-read the description on the tin,,,, But,,,, sorry, I don't buy it. This is NOT a VA, it is a burley cut and dried;)

Top note you say? Yes, it has one but it is my least favorite among the vanillas I have tried - and I like vanilla blends as a rule. This is the first one I have not recommended (one star). The "honeydew" part of the name (I suspect) is due to the sourness of the burley that overpowers my taste-buds. Vanilla? barely detectable after the first few puffs.

This is a high quality burley and if it had been marketed as such I would have given it at least 2 stars for the honesty.

But, such as it is, I only grant one star.

Try some from a friend (for free);) before you buy this porker.

Not recommended Vanilla / VA fans.

Good draw to You!

PS: Why is this blend listed twice in the database?????????? Shot who with a what now?

SWEET, SWEET, SWEET! Another great smelling tin by C.A.O.; but also another C.A.O. aromatic that was too sweet for me (like Blue Note). This smells like a flavored, fruity desert and more like vanilla extract than vanilla scented tobacco. The smell was great; the smoke was not. This is what I think it would taste like to pack sugar and vanilla extract into my favorite pipe and light it up.

Sweet Vanilla Honeydew is exactly what I don't want from a vanilla aromatic, popping open a tin to be greeted by the odour of soap. It gets worse, smoking it tastes like licking your grandmother's perfumey vanilla candles. The vanilla in this blend just tastes artificial. And the cherry on top, it's got a little bite to it and smokes a tad hot. I suppose there is a market for soapy vanilla blends, because this isn't the first I've tried. If that's your cup of tea, then this is probably a 4 out of 4 for you, but for me it's a clear 1 out of 4, not recommended.
