For me, the vanilla was nonexistent in flavor. A very mild, bland, forgettable smoke. On the plus side: there was no bite and the room note is good. Not interested in such a bland, flavorless smoke for the money this costs. Aero lovers would probably be disappointed in this.

Somewhat pleasant room note, but enough about its good qualities.
Bella Vanilla was a very disappointing smoke. The tobacco came wet and goopy, usually a sign that there will be some kind of flavor that will come through while smoking. Not so here. I detected no vanilla flavor, just a very mild, bland taste. The smell on my fingers and the taste in my mouth took me back to my cigarette smoking days.

This is an alright aromatic but the flavor of the tobacco does not even come close to that of the tin note. The tin note is strong and falsely promises the pipe smoker with huge mouthfuls of creamy vanilla smoke, but I was disappointed when all I got was a thin very lightly flavored hint of villa. The tobacco is also very moist and slightly gloopy which means that the pipe really has to be cleaned out between each smoke or your in for some trouble. The tobacco itself seemed to be of decent quality and did not contain any twiggy or woody bits, but again definitely wet and gloopy here. Those around me did seem to enjoy the room note, but again it is nowhere near as nice as the original tin note. Overall I was disappointed with this one. I would have a hard time recommending this one even to a hardcore aromatic smoker.

I tried this tobacco after trying the cigar by the same maker and flavor and did not enjoy either one of them. the tobacco burned very hot and wet i tried drying it out to no avail I still couldnt taste any vanilla just nothing. my friends said it was ok smelling but the prefered my dainsh vanilla made by a local tobaccoist. if any one has any ideas of what i could do to make it more pleasent to smoke i will try all suggestions.
