Alsbo Vanilla (Sungold)

Back when I still smoked flavored blends, this was my favorite Vanilla flavored tobacco. I liked the aroma, but it burned a bit hot at times. Then, it came in tins, and once opened, the tobacco dried out rather quickly.

Edit: I found my old tin, and now I wonder: Have I reviewed another brand here? The tin says: "Aalsbo Mixture / Mild Tobak / Vanilla", and it is "manufactured and packed by Peter Stokkebye, Denmark". I could not find any trace of this online. Was it an earlier, now out of production Vanilla blend by PS?

Bought this in a smallish town in Latvia. I don't know how old the pouch was, but the tobacco felt a bit dry. I'm getting more of a cherry aroma than vanilla, along with the tobacco flavor. Maybe because it was "aged" in the store where I bought it? Quite nice room note, I'm getting more vanilla here than in the flavor. Tin note is sweet and has a very nice vanilla note. Flavorwise, I'm getting wood and smoke, along with hints of milk chocolate. I haven't experienced any tongue bite or such.

I don't often smoke aromatics, although I tend to have an aromatic open when I'm trying to be sensitive to the sensibilities of those near me.

Alsbo vanilla looks like a cheap and nasty pouch aromatic and I expected it to bite and taste of chemicals (sure, Vanillin is a chemical, but I hope you know what I mean).

My prejudice was unfounded and I was quite impressed with this pouch tobacco. There's nothing complicated about this smoke, It's just a lovely soft vanilla from start to finish. It didn't bite and it wasn't gloopy, although I suppose if one puffed too hard or too fast this could change.

I keep some handy to throw into other aromatics that I'm not so keen on.

Good "morning" tobacco... for starting good the day!

This is the tobacco I wanna smoke when there is good looking chikcs around, who understands after a good man!! For me arome is pleasant, and roomnote is mind melting.

Ofcourse there is a lot of syrup, but good blend, with small bite.

and tin aroma is candy-a-like!!

Artificial flavor, bites and burns very hot with high humidity.

Very bland, has in its favor as it has very good room note.

Not bad. There is a pleasant taste and arome, but on the downside it a) Smokes very hot b) Smokes very wet c) Has a reasonably strong tonge bite. Not the worst aromatic in the world, but not the best either. It will be some time before I try it again.

Fairly good aromatic; there is certain a number of better vanilla tobacco's available, therefore I was in doubt if I would rate it 2 or 3 stars.

Just like the other Alsbo aromatics I've tried, the tobacco is smooth and extremely mild, and its dosed with a really generous helping of syrup- in this case vanilla. Seriously, people at the other end of the street will be turning around and sniffing...

For some reason the vanilla flavour gives this blend a little more body than the other Alsbo tobaccos, slightl more full, I find it a bit more satisfying. Again, it will take a few bowlfuls before the flavour has built up enough to taste of vanilla all the way to the end, and it is a very leasant smoke, as mild aromatics go. Does what it says on the tin.
