Alsbo Vanilla (Sungold)

Very nice aro, tastes and smells like vanilla pudding, for a dessert smoke this does the trick, but.....I get a weird sour tounge after this blend, now i don't know if i might be alergic to something in this blend or what but for this sole reason i don't smoke it which is a bummer because it does taste very good. It does bite and burn very hot. No moistness at all so its good to go straight from the pouch and is a very smooth and light on the taste buds. If you like aro's do try this one but be warned of a weird sour tounge that might last a whole day after this thing.

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?

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.

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.

This tobacco was my first try. After this I tried some others. This is very mild and it gives you couple of tongue bites. Maybe because I was a bit inexperienced smoker. When I went to other brands I did not have the same effect. I went to try Alsho again and I had the same tongue bites.

In my opinion this is very mild that as a result you try to smoke it a bit faster and therefore that is why you get the tongue bites.

Taste is mild. Even if you smoke it slowly and try to let the smoke out of your nose, the taste will be mild.

Room note is pleasant to tolerable.

Good point with this tobacco is that I usually smoke it in the eve before going to bed. Since it is not strong it does not leave too much smoke smell on your face skin, clothes on mouth. Good if you have a nagging wife or girlfriend !!
