Alsbo Vanilla (Sungold)

Great smell in the pouch, smokes light and easy, not moist at all.

Funny thing is that this pouch was empty before I knew it... Smoked it in my BigBen crosly, which is not a large pipe, so quite some bowls.

Room note is marvellous, taste is good, but a little bland compared to some more complex english blends.

Good aromatic, the fact I emptied this pouch so fast is self-explanatory. Aro lovers, this is a good one

[French] L'Alsbo Vanilla se bourre et s'allume facilement. Les brins nécessitent au début d'être un peu séchés, mais après quelques jours en blagues, ils sont à hydrométrie parfaite pour le fumage. L'odeur en blague est sucrée, de pruneaux liquoreux, et très très peu de vanille finalement. En bouche, on retrouve le sucré et la rondeur de l'odeur en blague. Pour un aromatique à la vanille, j'ai du mal à sentir cette dernière. En "retro-hale", je sens la saveur liquoreuse les premières fois, mais le "retro-hale" sur ce tabac a tendance à m'irriter le nez (sauce ?). Les derniers brins ont tendance à devenir âcres, on perd beaucoup du sucre de début de bol. A aucun moment je ne me suis senti pris par la nicotine, ou tabassé par ce tabac. La room note est plaisante, mais laisse néanmoins une odeur assez déplaisante en bouche et sur les vêtements. Je trouve ce tabac idéal pour un débutant commençant par les aromatiques, même si j'ai moi-même fini par me lasser. (NB : j'en ai acheté deux blagues pour tenir le confinement, et à force de manipulation, les brins étaient devenus comme des paillettes ou des tout petits brins, ce qui contribue à rendre le bourrage moins plaisant selon moi)

Nice, mild and very sweet aromatic. Beautiful black-and yellow color. Unfortunately, the strong vanilla tin note vanishes few days after the pouch has been opened, or when the mixture is aired or transferred to a jar. What remains is a mild "butter-like" scent, still pleasant. The vanilla taste is wonderful and perceivable throughout the bowl when this tobacco is freshly opened. Days or weeks after, the taste becomes more "tobacco-ish", though the sweetness of virginia & black cavendish remain clearly perceivable throughout the bowl. Tongue bite may occur if not smoked gently. The design of the pouch is rather dull: there's room for improvement. Overall a nice, strongly topped tobacco, only for lovers of aromatic mixtures.

I tried this to see what it was like. It was nice. Not earth shakingly brilliant and not quite my type of thing, but not bad. Worth a shot I'd say.

Im a beginner and was searching for aromatic tobacco suitable for my needs for some time now. After Mac Barren Vanilla and Borkum Riff Whiskey Bourbon this one is by now the best for me. Recommended for aromatic lovers. No tongue bite , really pleasent for smoking.

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!

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.
