A dashing HAPAG (Hamburg-Amerikanische Packetfahrt Aktiengesellschaft) ocean liner, cutting the blue broth bounding for New York, pre-Hindenburg, pre-everything, graces the cover of this gorgeous tin, making me feel like a surf-secure, young Graf von Zeppelin, smoking his Pfeife on deck, making his way to swinging Amerika! My Rauchenkabinett [smoking cupboard] just loves these Ocean liner beauties, especially after I have disposed of the contents of the tins!
This by-the-numbers vanilla honeydew is not the worst of the series.

Vanilla ice cream anyone? Here you go.
I've delved into the world of Vanilla flavored pipe tobacco many times over the years and this one ranks right up there with the best of them. A delightful sweetness just perfect for an after dinner dessert. It does goop up the bottom of the bowl and ghost the dickens out of the briar, so do remember to reserve this one for your aromatic pipes. Unless, of course, you enjoy a little (okay, a lot) of Vanilla flavoring mixed in with your Latakia.

This is a relatively straightforward VA/cavendish vanilla aromatic. The price is high, and while I realize that the tins are neat, I do not think the tobacco inside is commensurate with the price.
This is a loose ribbon cut, and is very moist. It requires drying out in order to have any hope of smoking without a flamethrower effect. Unfortunately, even after drying and careful packing, it is still difficult to smoke this without singing your tongue. It is not just that it burns hot; it actually seems to sting, no matter how slow you puff. I have read that vanilla can have that effect, but I have enjoyed other vanilla blends without this effect.
The flavor is pleasant when it is not attacking your tongue, but it is pretty much a one-trick pony. There is little depth here, and that, coupled with the tongue bit, makes this one to avoid, rather than seek out. I give it two stars because my wife likes the odor.

I bought this tobacco in the first place for its attrative tin,as I did with the other four in the series On opening the tin one is met with a really big sweet aroma The tobacco is a nice mid brown with abit of dark cavendish amongst it,good texture and not too moist Did not think I would enjoy this tobacco but was pleasantly surprised.Vanilla flavour,tobacco taste came through as well.nice nose from pipe bowl I am mainly a va/english/perique smoker but I can see most aromatic lovers enjoying this one
