Wilke Pipe Tobacco Wilke No. 191

I was given a little 1 oz. sample of this tobacco with another order. I found it to be a pleasant, inoffensive aromatic that won't leave your pipe with a lot of glop in the bowl; burns clean to the end; room note is pleasant but not overwhelming or cloying; no tongue bite at all.

Sometimes you want an aromatic that doesn't whistle, "HERE I AM!"...but just smells good. This is that kind of blend and you can smoke it all day long. Carole makes a nice blend here, worth trying.

Not bad, but innocuous at best in my opinion. If you don't like your tobacco highly cased, then this might be for you. I prefer mine on the sweeter side, and I really didn't get ANY honey or vanilla on the palate or nose.

Hard one for me to rate. I'm splitting the difference and awarding this one 3 stars. I give it 2 for my personal taste but a 4 for accomplishing what few aromatics do, in my opinion. This review is based on a 5 bowl sample that Carole sent with my 4 2-oz sampler.

This is classified as a honey and vanilla aromatic and that was spot on. Interestingly, I tasted no vanilla at all. The vanilla came out in the room note. The flavoring I tasted was the honey. The problem is I don't like honey very much, at least not in tobacco. 🙂 I smoked it because Carole was nice enough to send it and I finished it because, as I mentioned, it does what few aromatics do - it couples a high amount of tobacco taste with a hint of the aromatic flavoring. The tobacco taste ruled the roost and was tinged with just enough honey flavoring to satisfy a honey lovers sweet tooth. Very intriguing tobacco. I did not care for it and I won't buy any but if you love honey in your tobacco, I recommend you jump on this one immediately. It's a pipe tobacco lovers aromatic and nothing short of a stroke of absolute blending genius. For that, it deserves 4 stars and my highest recommendation.

Not much flavor or interest here. Room note is decent and far surpasses the taste. Good quality tobacco but overall a very average, nondescript light-vanilla aromatic. Tobacco flavor in the mouth is a bit stale and ashen. Plenty of other vanilla aromatics show this blend to be somewhat lacking. Something in this blend's aftertaste reminds me of cigarette smoke, which turned me off after each bowl. I smoked a wicked rich and delicious bowl of Raven after this, and gave this bag away. Aromatic smokers looking for P&W quality should perhaps check out this company's very good Cherry Cavendish.

Blend No. 191 from P&W is what I could call: mild to very mild Vanilla blend with a pinch of Honey that do not overpower the natural tobacco flavor, although it leaves a mellow aftertaste that can be carried along for hours, this blend is one of the most popular of the Vermont's tobacco house and it deserves this reputation since is a well originated blend, maybe a little mild for my taste but always showing the traces of quality of P&W.

Although not much of an aromatic smoker, this one is an exception. One might expect some glop/goop from such an aromatic but not in this case. This stuff smokes great down to the very last. Although moist upon arrival it was easy to light and full of flavor. Carole puts together the very best aromatics anywhere. Her flavorings are of the finest quality and she is a pleasure to deal with. I Cant say enough good things about this tobacco.

Enjoyable. Tangy. Nice consistency. Not as much honey or vanilla as I expected. Interesting but nothing special. Didn?t burn my tongue at all, did gurgle a great deal. A-.

The Vanilla-Honey is a light touch. A mild, nondescript and average blend.

I love accurate tin descriptions, it makes reviewing so much easier. This stuff is Great !!! Smells Great! Burns Great ! Tastes Great !
