I tried Brigham's Vanilla Maple for the first (and only), time at the 2003 Kansas City Pipe Show. For aromatic lovers of soft, yet sweet and cool Vanilla flavoring, this is a real winner. I can see where this one would work perfectly in a Brigham pipe with its patented Maplewood filter because the blend does smoke a little wet.
If you are a fan of Vanilla blends (and this one also had a whisp of Maple Syrup flavor), I think Brigham's Vanilla Maple would be a good choice.

Upon first opening the pouch, my olfactory senses were assaulted by the wonderful aroma's of vanilla and maple that abound in this blend. Seriously smells good enough to eat. As this blend is often on the "sopping wet" side of the moisture scale, it will benefit from a day of sitting out on paper; if you air it in your man-cave, the pouch aroma will greet you when you walk in the door...very stong (but pleasant).
In addition to the wonderful aroma's found in the pouch, this tobacco is visually spectacular, with ribbons of red virginia intersperced with slices of black cav. After being allowed to sit for a period, it packs very nicely (using the 3-step method). Takes to a match fairly well, although I often need to relight at half-way, and again at three-quarters.
The initial experience from the true light (for me) is usually strong, sweet, vanilla flavours, with slight undertones of nuttyness from the burley, and the occasional hint of maple. As the bowl reaches the half-way point, the vanilla takes a step back, allowing the rich burleys and sweet virginias to come though, which combine to provide a hint of maple. In the last quarter of the pipe, the flavour profile changes yet again, and the maple flavour becomes the most prevalent, underscored by sweet vanillas and rich burleys. It should be noted that like the majority of aromatics, this tobacco tends to smoke on both the hot and wet side, so care must be taken to avoid a bad bite...particularly if you haven't allowed the humectants (PG) to dissapate somewhat.
The room notes of this tobacco are wonderful, with the maple taking center stage, but the supporting vanilla providing a large part of the olfactory action.
I do find this abit on the weak side where nicotine is concerned, but all in all, a very nice aromatic blend.
