John Middleton, Inc Prince Albert's Cherry Vanilla

I was in Mexico with my then-fiance visiting relatives. She was still skeptical on my smoking a pipe. I picked up an ouncer pouch of this mild blend and I tried it when I got home. Smokes smoothly with little or no bite and does not have a papery quality like some other middleton blends. I liked this. It was 50 pesos well spent.

I must say I was a little surprised with this blend as I am not a fan of Price Albert. The casing seemed to balance out the unpleasantness found in the regular PA. Pouch note did not have much of a cherry scent to it, and there was a mild cherry vanilla in the taste. Room note was ok. Packed and burned well, with few relights. No bite, an all day smoke. Not a great tobacco, but I will likely finish the pouch

Not a bad cheaper cherry vanilla stays lit fairly easy I don't find it to be too harsh even if you smoke on it like a locomotive doesn't have the greatest flavor a cherry and vanilla but actually have somewhat of a sweet flavor in a cool smoke probably wouldn't buy it again but it wasn't the worst one I've ever bought

I have yet to find any hint of the original Prince in this blend. I guess I was expecting too much from it, but I honestly wasn't a huge fan of this for severel reasons: It burned way too hot, bit pretty badly, and seemed to be more like Borkum Riff than PA. I was disappointed. The room note was about the same as regular PA though, which I found rather odd. It chars toward the bottom of the bowl and can put off an acrid burnt taste. Can't say that I really recommend this one.

I have tried the cigar versions of these Prince Albert pipe tobacco's and do enjoy them when I do not have the patience for a pipe, they are very convenient on the go. The Cherry Vanilla version surprisingly does not bite even though the topping could potentially be a recipe for disaster. I see Cherry Vanilla and think tongue furnace but rest assured she doesn't bite. A mild smoke that has a lovely room note that the family loved. A great beginners blend and an al day aromatic for the veteran smoker too. No nicotine so it gets 2 1/2 stars, 3 rounding up.

Not a bad smoke, it burned rather quickly though. This will most likely be the main tobacco I smoke out of my MM MacArthur cob when I get it. I loaded a full bowl into my MM Egg shaped Great Dane and it seemed like it was done in no time. Aside from that it was a rather enjoyable smoke. I definitely would recommend it to someone with a larger bowl that wanted a quicker smoke. Unlike many other reviews I didn't think it was God awful, but I mean you can pick up the 1.5oz pack for like three bucks and decide for yourself. I am fairly new to smoking pipes, this being only the second tobacco I have ever tried(as far as pipes are concerned), but as I stated before it was a quick yet pleasant smoke. Solid 3 out-of 4.

Thanks for the read, Shayde

I have been wanting to try this old standby for a long time now. It is what it is. I dont usually like aromatics however this one isnt bad. It burns down clean with no goop and isnt overwhelming with the flavoring. Wife thought it was pleasant too so we all win! Recommended.

I have heard so much about PA that when I saw this I decided to give it a try.I will say that it was a pleasent smoke and had a nice taste for a cherry blend...I dont normally like cherry blends.It lit quickly and didnt really need any relights.Basically everythiong I wanted from an aromatic.Problem was every single time I smoked it 30minutes later I had an upset stomach.Ive come to recognize this as a problem I have with burleys...they all cause this problem for me.That being said I still recommend it as long as you dont have the same problems with burleys I do.

PA. Van. Cherry… While snooping around a tobacco shop the other day (basically a roll your own store) I found some of this stuff, I didn't even know they made a flavored PA, but I've always liked the plain version, and for that reason, I bought a pouch. I do smoke a few aromatics once in a while, but much prefer a straight blend, with as little aroma/flavor enhancers as possible.

The pouch aroma is very pleasant and full. The moisture was about where I like it to be, so without any delay I fired up a bowl. Getting into it a bit, I found only a little of that aroma present in the smokes flavor, mostly a nice tobacco taste, akin to PA, only a bit smoother. Just imagine, PA flavor with a nice room note, slight sweetness and minimum aromatic harshness, what's not to like, I found myself fully enjoying it. This has to one of the most hassle free aromatics smokes going, and as it turns out, one of the better aromatic's I've yet tried. First class, all the way.
