Sweet - on the milder side, vanilla. Smooth, cool smoke. Lovely dessert smoke. Tastes a little toasty. Some caramel notes. Big puffs of white smoke. Stayed easily lit. It isn't in my opinion Boswell's best aromatic offering, but it isn't bad either. Their tobacco is always quality no matter what!

I quite liked this smoke for what it was. It was fairly mild and the vanilla casing definitely doesn't take over. It did have some taste though, but it doesn't exactly hit you in the face. It was a pleasurable smoke and I cannot complain about the price that's for sure. As with most Boswell tobaccos, the room note is great.

Another good one from Bosewells!
Nothing special here, aside from it being supremely ungifted. I hear the term "all day smoke" tossed around quite often here, but this just may be it. This is hard to get sick of because of how mild it is, yet it does deliver good tobacco flavors when you sit and look for them. No aftertaste that will cloy everything you eat or drink either.
Flavor is light vanilla ontop of a decent burley/VA/cav mix. The tobacco is actually in harmony with the casing rather than caged by it(however mild they may be). Smokes like any other Bosewell; cool, dry, sweet and very little nicotine. May keep a bit better than the other blends as this one is much less cased.

If you like Boswell in general, then you will like their Vanilla Cream. There is a bit more creaminess and custard forward flavors compared to Boswell's Best. In comparing the two, Vanilla Cream doesn't burn quite as hot but is a bit more single note. It lacks the complexity of Boswell's Best but there are occasions where I prefer one or the other.
You can't really go wrong here if you're looking for a vanilla aromatic. It won't blow your mind but it's pleasant all the way to the bottom.

It's difficult to write a review on a Vanilla flavored tobacco because of its status as a staple in the pipe tobacco world.
With that being said, either you like Vanilla pipe tobaccos or you do not. The best you can do when writing up a review on a blend like Vanilla Creame is to comment on the quality of the blend as a whole, and not on how you view the style of blend.
The tin aroma, or bag aroma I suppose, is delicious with Vanilla Creame. If you leave the bag open for a few minutes, it fills the room with a warm sugary vanilla note that is just wonderful.
Upon lighting this tobacco, you get a pleasant vanilla flavoring that doesn't mask the quality tobacco Boswells always uses. About half-way down the bowl, the Vanilla casing is surprisingly still hanging around, while it's not as strong as the beginning of the smoke. The casing pretty much falls off by the very end of the bowl, with the a toasted tobacco flavor coming through while still maintaining a light body.
All in all, this is another quality blend from Boswells. If you're a fan of that classic vanilla-cased tobacco, this is the blend from you. The room note is amazing too, so you should be well-received by even the nonsmokers around you. It's not my favorite blend from Boswells but it's definitely one I would recommend if it suits your taste.

I confess that I do have a more than occasional desire for a vanilla aromatic. This is indeed one of the better that I have run across. The vanilla is there all the way down the bowl but it does not overwhelm. Not wet or goopy, no bite, very pleasant. Personally I prefer Boswell?s Best for its fuller vanilla flavor.

This Boswell Blend is just as it is described. Mild flavor, very light, and is a good choice for a new pipe smoker. For me....This blend is lacking in any real flavor but it is described as being mild so that is what you should expect. It has a pleasant sweetness, but the vanilla just didn't come through enough for me. I would suggest Boswell's Paradise or christmas cookie if your looking for an awesome vanilla blend!!

Smokes a bit wet. Some of that could be me being a novice.
despite gooping the heel of my pipe up a bit this is probably my favorite vanilla aromatic and I really do enjoy vanilla. Not too strong, not too bland it hits the spot for what it is.
oh and I might add I cant even force it to bite

This is one of my favorites from Boswell. It also has to be the best vanilla blend I've come across. It's just a mild, tasty vanilla blend with a touch of earthyness, maybe a touch of spice. It's a blend to go really easy on to get the full flavor, the minute you start to draw too hard for a fuller smoke it gets a little bite and you can say goodbye to the flavor. It's not an overwhelming vanilla, not too sweet and no fuss...to me it also has a decent tobacco flavor in it's balance. It's one I will keep around...it's a "go to" smoke.

Loaded up a Boswell nosewarmer to enjoy the moment.That's just what i got.Upon lighting this blend it reminded me of Boswell's Christmas Cookie,but as I puffed away the vanilla flavor and aroma became more prominent.This tobacco is not over powering, no tongue bite,lights easy,stays cool,and has a nice aroma.This is a no fuss blend that's on the mild side, but pleasing.Smokes like butter.Nice relaxing smoke.
