You have to sip this one or risk tongue bite. Do that and you'll get a slight bit of tobacco taste along with the vanilla, and perhaps a licorice note or two. I never figured out why the word "spice" is in the name since it's not spicy in any way, but there is a slight cinnamon and nutmeg hit. Has little nicotine and is one dimensional. Then again, that's typical of most blends in this genre Burns clean at a moderate pace with a consistent flavor. Leaves some moisture in the bowl, and requires a few relights. An all day smoke. I can't give it three stars because there's nothing special about it, but if you're in the mood for a vanilla cavendish, this will do.

A light and not unpleasant aro. Also, not a particularly satisfying smoke. I used a Radice poker with a very large bowl. At the top I could taste the light vanilla flavor and a couple of others that I can't identify. Halfway down I expected the tobacco to come to the forefront, however what I got was most steam. Not a bad smoke, and if you just smoke out of habit it would be a good all day smoke. I didn't get any bite, but I just can't recommend it 2/5 stars.

By the name I was expecting something along the lines of Captain Morgan Spiced Rum, but alas, this is mostly a basic vanilla black Cavendish. Doesn't burn as well as Lane's BCA so I'm not sure who makes this. There is also a slight artificial flavor that is the real reason why I'm only giving two stars. Does get a bit goopy at the end, but overall it's not entirely unpleasant.
