This blend has been out a number of years and I've come by it a few months back .It DOSENT bite . The wife digs the aroma . It isnt a vannilla bomb ... it's rather soft as it says . It burns nice and you get a full mouth of smoke . It's a touch moist but not to much . It is a mass market product after all . All in all a good quality Aromatic that is better than most . If you like aromatics then I'd say give this a shot . You'll probably be suprised . I've mentioned this blend to other smokers and have only gotten like reviews back . If you only like Vir or lat blends then you cant handle this stuff no doubt . A good quality blend w/ a burley undertone ... well done . I get 9 oz for 13.59 . Easy to afford 🙂

Yes close to but not as harsh as Captian black white. Soft like the packaage says. A nice aroamtic with both light and dark tobaccos. A sweet blend that can gets tangy or orange tasting on and off. Pack easy no need to tamper just light it up. A real lady pleaser. A good smoke on a hot summers day. I am not a fan of vanilla blends becuase they often are a Virginia. The burley give this blend body and flavor. Nice stuff. REDDO

I have somehow turned into a very snooty high-end Peterson pipe smoking snoob. I am 62 year old now, I have bought every kind of vanilla aromatic there is on the market, most favorite probably McBarron Irish cream flake,my dad used to smoke a corncob and nothing but Prince Albert soft vanilla for years and years and years. I've cellared some of the last prime bag that he bought back in 2006, every 5 years I pack a bowl of it and smoke it and I still think it holds up. Zero bite, nobody complains about the room note, just smoke some of it that was stored 14 years ago still smokes like a dream...

this is a very pleasant pipe tobacco. I was looking around when I was at my tobbaconist a few months ago and had a few extra dollars so I was looking for a pipe tobacco which was more flavorful than SWR aromatic ( its the only one I had smoked so far ) and saw prince alberts soft vanilla it was at the rigt price and the bag smelled simply amazing !!! I also picked up some carter hall pipe tobacco/ captain black royal/ and SWR regular. anyways out of the bunch as soon as I got back into my truck after purchasing this blend I just had to try it and it was delicious it smelled and tasted of vailla its not ver strong nut its there noticeable and pleasant plus made my truck smell very good an as a bonus my girlfriend loves the smell 🙂 if you are a new usuer or just someone who wants something flavorful to try that's sure to put a smile on your face try prince alberts soft vanilla its an excellent economical choice and doesn't burn all that hot unless you really puff away at it and iv never had any trouble getting it to burn. now if only they made it in those large tubs !!! hahaha if only they made a soft chocolate 🙂

Well, I’ll be reviewing a 1 1/2 pouch which is at least 7-8 years old, so take that into consideration.
The tin note is mostly vanilla and pudding with some forest fruist.
The tobacco was just a bit dry, but not crumbling, it was good to pack directly. Presents itself with mostly brown bits with a few black and dark gold. The cut is quite small.
Now here’s the most interesting part, the taste and aroma. First notes that I detected were of liquor. Creamy vanilla notes are starting to develop right away, along with the alcoholic liquor flavors, and they combine very well. Some forest fruits can also be detected, and a soft irish whisky taste.
The cavendish and burley are well balanced and I’m glad I don’t get a cavendish kick out of this (which is curious, because the blend is mostly cavendish and black cavendish). Doesn’t taste chemical either. It is quite smooth and creamy and indeed, soft, not overcased or overtopped. Even so, lots of flavors can be detected.
If you smoke half a bowl and then let it sit for a few hours, you’ll get lots of nutty and chocolate notes, as well as some cinnamon, most probably from the burley.
Burns excellent, doesn’t bite or deliver hot smoke, but it tends to get the pipe a bit hot.
Room note: Quite strong, but also very pleasant. It’s like walking into a pastry shop/cake shop.
If I could use words to describe this blend, they would be: Soft, creamy, balanced, tasty, super-easy-to-smoke.
I’m not an aromatics fan, in fact I rarely find an aromatic that I really like. This is one of the very few.
Underrated blend!
