Wilke Pipe Tobacco Vermont Maple Cavendish

Enough has been said here extolling the virtues of this tobacco. The one thing I'll say that amazed me about this blend is the lack of bite. Even though the blend is very mild, it produces copious amounts of tasty, sweet smoke and never gets hot or cloying.

Perhaps a better aromatic than Captain Black "White". And to me, that's saying something. Highly recommended aromatic, mild with great flavor.

Want to juice this blend up? Mix this half and half with Royal Yacht. I keep a small humidor of this concoction and really do enjoy it when I want an aromatic change of pace.

Yet another excellent aromatic from P&W. I was surprised at the pouch aroma, or rather lack of it, given the impressions of several other reviewers. The maple element is subtle, and there is a natural tobacco note. No pancakes or butter experiences for this reviewer.

I did not experience anything mystic whilst smoking this pipe-weed, but there is something unique about the way the maple taste stays with the smoke for at least the first two-thirds of the bowl. A quality tobacco taste is readily found, and dominant, but the maple is always lingering.

I'm not able to give it a four-star rating due to a tendency to smoke on the hot side. I've tried different packing strategies, and smoked it rather slowly, but the heat is a bit too much. Also, I find the last third of the bowl to deliver a charcoal or ash taste I don't care for. For several smokes, I just dumped at that point. On other smokes, I stayed with it.

I decided to try the Vermont Maple blend in a vintage Wilke pipe. This is such a change from the English, Balkan, and Virginia blends I've been smoking. It's a "black and brown" blend - some brown Virginia and black cavendish with a lighter gold component as well - perhaps the Carolina? The tobaccos are high quality - not sticks and stems stuff. The pouch aroma is pleasant tobacco with a hint of maple. I lit up with some trepidation, fearing that this one would be too sweet and goopy an aromatic for me. I need not have been concerned.

The moisture level seemed just about right, it lit easily and burned evenly. The pipe never got hot, and it seems to smoke cool. Mild, but flavorful, and that flavor is not overpowered by maple, almost more like an ongoing undertone. Not at all overly sweet. I had smoked a vanilla tobacco in the past that was always difficult to finish off well. It got steamy and wet. Vermont maple finished down to ash without any of that. This is a cozy sort of smoke, not cloying. It could be smoked all day, but what a wonderful breakfast/morning blend. Goes very well with a cup of coffee.

I have 8 ounces, and before I'm through with it I'm sure I'll be ordering a pound. I might even ask Carole to add just a smidgeon more maple (She uses real Vermont maple syrup - not some artificial junk). Nice that you can ask for such things from this blender.

In a money and space saving attempt to limit myself mainly to four tobaccos (a burley, Virginian, English, and cavendish) the first one to make my permanent list is Wilke's Vermont Maple Cavendish. As someone else has noted, this is the first cavendish tobacco I have come across where the actual taste mirrors the exquisite odor of the pouch -- and it tastes and smells like syrupy pancakes. No one will ever complain about the smell of your pipe with this one. My over-active imagination thinks it even detects melted butter on the cakes. Puff as hard as I can, I can't make it get too hot; it burns down to a fine white ash with no dottle and the smoke is copious and moist in the mouth. This tobacco would be perfect for dieters as it will satisfy your sweet tooth at zero calories. The only drawback in this area: It creates in me a craving for hot cocoa, because that's what I like with my pancakes. I smoke this in a large bowl, because I want the experience to last, and it isn't until the last of the bowl that the maple taste dwindles to be replaced by a nice tobacco flavor with no after taste.There is no nicotine affect at all, so it makes a perfect late night smoke, one that I will enjoy every night into the foreseeable future.

I love Wilke tobaccos and this is no exception. It is very mapley(? is there such a word?). It is good,but not great.I feel a better choice would be C&D Autumn Evening.Very pleasant offering.

I have to agree with the previous reviewers on Wilke's VMC. This is like having breakfast -ALL DAY-- The pouch note is redolent with real maple, not a chem-maple as with other bulk produced blends. The great part is that this tobacco does not deceive, you taste the maple in the smoke, and it is rich and satisfying.However, it does not gurgle due to the casing and burns cool and tasty. I smoke this and Wilke's Rumcake regularly along with three other Wilke blends and the colleagues at my office can always pick this one out by the pleasing room note. Carole, the tobacconist is a great person and I asked her if she would add a little extrta 'topping' of maple for me on my last order. She gladly obliged. This kind of service is only available from someone like her who blends to order in small batches. Whatever she did, it is absolutley right-on! Just the right amount of flavor and richness. If you are a fan of Carolina and VA cavendish, this is a must smoke! Four Stars without a doubt!

I came across this while looking for a tobacco for my neighbor. He told me he used to smoke a ?pancakes? blend no longer sold; he now smokes the most godawful little cherry cigars. I planned on giving him some of this and begging him to smoke it instead. (Insight to those of you who have people begging you to smoke something..) Well, I still haven?t given it to him. The official reason is that he no longer has a pipe. Actually, this stuff hooked me.

The flavoring is actually complementary, not all that much sweeter than most straight Virginia tobaccos I smoke. The blend is mild, as one would expect, and I puff it mercilessly to get more flavor. No bite! Oddly, heat is not an issue, either. And lo, the aroma! Indeed, it is pancakes with Vermont maple syrup. Easy to live with when the wintry blasts require closed windows.

I am a fan of a number of various types of tobacco, including balkans. This is the diametric opposite of a balkan, just as Gilbert and Sullivan are opposite to Willie Nelson. Yet both are found in my CD player at the moment. Schizo tastes? Maybe, but I know what I like. Try this. Double dog dare ya.
