I bought this one by pure coincidence – I was intending to buy something totally different, names got mixed up, so did the tins, and… yeah, ended up with a tin of this stuff. Quick look at the reviews below, and I was expecting – well, what you can read for yourself.
Yes it is true – the tin looks like over the counter stuff, and so does the plastic bag inside, the aroma upon opening is trivial and cheap (in a way), and again yes – first puffs are really nothing special…
But… half way through the tin this stuff woke up. It is smooth with lovely vanilla notes – by no means is it this artificial flavoring (well, it is, but it tastes just great). Burns evenly – no gurgling, no tongue bite, keeps the moisture content very well. It so happens I’m smoking this in parallel with Larsen’s 2012 mixture and (sadly) I admit Planta wins hands down (at least for me).
Don’t get me wrong – it would have been nice if the vanilla was slightly richer and maybe more punch. But actually, I like it the way it is – just a decent, well performing tobacco. I will definitely buy it again.

I used to love aromatics. Not all, but some have always made my delights. This is one of them. The flavour is somewhat mild, but the sweetness of the vanilla and a little pleasant refreshing sour taste come through. It lights pretty easily, and burns well all through the end of the bowl. This is currently my favourite aromatic, replacing any other Vanilla aromatic or even replacing any other aromatic blend. Note that it is quite different than almost all aromatics. This has two downsides, if you smoke it to quick it becomes extra hot (though not bitting too much), the other is that you just want to keep smoking it all the day.

Planta Original Danish Black Vanilla Mixture has a mouth watering tin note. It is sweet vanilla with a hint of tobacco present that smells good enough to eat. The smoke is simple. There is a dusty earthiness and some nuttiness out front. The VA cav is tangy with a hint of citrus that comes out once in a while but overall this is subdued below the vanilla. The Vanilla is really fairly strong it is out front with every puff and you can taste the alcohol used to bring out the vanilla as well there may be some added sugar here too as it is very sweet. The room note is nice overall no complaints from anyone and it smokes fairly dry. It did leave a slight prickle on the tongue but that went away after an hour or so. The finish is quite long with a lasting sweet vanilla flavor. The nic hit is very mild. A nice change of pace; a nice straightforward vanilla aromatic.
