It's been a while since I smoked some of this, but let's just say that I don't keep any fond memories of it, nor have I ever bought any more of this ever since. It's kind of dull and artificial tasting, the vanilla used here doesn't taste that great anyways. I've tried so many other vanilla cavendish type of tobaccos, and this one was one of the least impressive to put it mildly. Among its group, go for something like sweet vanilla by pete stokkebye or even Mac baren's vanilla cream, those are so much better tobaccos. maybe for the novice, but why bother when there are many better brands making better stuff. Even Captain black seems a more reasonable choice than this one.
