Peter Stokkebye Sweet Vanilla (No.6)
(3.28)
Ripe Virginias are added to Toasted Cavendish to create a more complex mild smoking blend. The aroma is an Elegant Vanilla with the natural sweetness of Toasted Cavendish combine for a smooth and rich smoke. According to Peter Stokkebye; The toasting process takes the tobacco to a much higher heat, locking in the natural sweet tobacco flavors and eliminating any tongue bite.

This one is probably one of my favorite tobaccos. I'm mostly an aromatic smoker, and I have to say that this is probably one of the best aromatics I've ever smoked, it's creamy and mild, carefull though, in case you like strong tobacco, this is probably THE mildest mix I have tried. In my case, I was seduced inmediately, the aroma is great without being overwhelming, it's almost like drinking warm vanilla-caramel milk. probably the best of the vanilla series that P. Stokkerbye hast to offer, the black cavendish vanilla, didn't really impressed me, the vanilla gold it's also very good, and I agree that if you like Mac Baren Vanilla cream, this one will really become a favorite! I bought mine in argentina and it was ridiculously cheap also. I strongly recommed it, now if you are a hardcore english latakia smoker, you probably won't be as impressed as I was. otherwise...Enjoy!

Stokkebye's Sweet Vanilla has a jar note that is exactly what you would expect sweet vanilla and nothing more. The smoke is very mild and the vanilla flavoring is out front from the beginning all the way through the end of the bowl. The tobacco does come through however. For me the burley is the most noticeable. It is nutty with a dry earthiness and a raw woodsy note. The VA's are way in the background and give the barest hint of grass. The toasted cav may be where I find a hint of honey like sweetness that comes up occasionally as well. The nic is unnoticeable. The room note is great! The sweetness lingers on the palate for a little while too. It does leave a little moisture in the bowl but not any goo. An easy 3 stars.

This tobacco seems to have a bitter taste to me, although I do need to clean some ghosts out of my pipe. After smoking 2 bowls I could not discern any type of room note, which I thought was unusual. The tobacco has a nice pouch note and requires few relights. It does not bite. Probably a good all day smoke for some, and I will reorder.

This is my daily driver. I smoke this at work 4 to 5 days a week, and I just can't get enough. For some reason it has become my go to over all others, something about the price, the smell, the flavor ... I known it's not perfect for many, that it is not a hunt to find the perfect bowl, that it is inexpensive and easy to acquire. But I also know it works for me. Give it a try, and it may just do the same for you.

Received my shipment of this tobacco today, and was so excited! Then I loaded up my bowl and fired it up. The taste was very bitter. I continued on, hoping things would improve - but it didn't. I noticed some tongue bite and little to no room note. I should have known when I opened the bag and didn't smell anything positive. Sad to say, the rest went to the trash can.

I only get the vanilla flavor when I retro inhale, or exhale thru the snork. It is a strong vanilla/spice flavor. No tongue bite. A slight gurgle. Burns cool, and I am a heavy puffer. I'd say 2.5 stars. Not bad stuff, but I want to try the rest of what's out there.

So for the purpose of transparency I'm not primarily an aro smoker, but they seem to catch my attention as the fall approaches.
This bulk vanilla does what I would expect - but rarely receive from a good aromatic: 1. It doesn't burn hot 2. It doesn't goop up 3. It stays lit with minimal maintanence 4....and a drum roll for this feat - it tastes kinda vanillany (surely not a real word).
This blend actually seems nougat - like, in smell and taste. It's sweet throughout most of the bowl, and odd as this may sound it becomes cool tasting (in a menthol mAnne associated with burley) at bowls' end.
Take into account the value associated with Peter Stokkebye and its Winner Winner Sweet Vanilla Dinner...err...dessert.

Great vanilla notes, both pouch and room. Not sweet per se, but mellow and flavorful. No bite, and smoked slow and pleasant. Great aromatic that I will enjoy smoking again.

This is a very nice smoke, well behaved, no bite, and burns well to bottom of bowl with no relights. No goopy mess like you get with many aromatics. A very nice vanilla that is not overpowering and the room note is quite good. The tobacco itself is just a tad on the strong side for me (I prefer steamed black cavendish tobaccos) but otherwise its a great smoke. Recommend this blend to beginners, a good first smoke for sure.

This blend has either changed substantially since prior reviews were posted or I bought a 'bad batch'. Of all the Stokkebye vanilla-topped offerings, I found this one to be the harshest. Contrary to the descriptive advert blurb, it was punishing to my tongue/mouth, no matter how carefully or deliberately I smoked it. This might be an okay tobacco if you are extremely careful or don't mind frying your tongue. IMHO, Stokkebye's Vanilla Cream and French Vanilla are far superior and more satisfying blends, and provide cooler, more flavorful smokes and pleasant room notes.
