Dan makes a great vanilla product (Sweet Vanilla Honeydew), and in many ways Holmer Knudsen was similar, but the performance missed the mark this time around.
The tin gives off an inviting sweet aroma with honest authenticity; my nose wondered if actual crushed vanilla bean was present, tempered with some mild fruitiness. Like many aromatic imports (or so I've been told) there aren't added preservatives, so thankfully this weed didn't drip from wet toppings. Another similarity was the broken flake, which keeps a nice density when gently rubbed and packed. Moisture was fantastic, though there were more relights than expected.
I wasn't so much impressed with the lit product. The vanilla taste warped into a less-than-pleasant semi bitter flavor, riding atop a smoke that had a medium kick. Perhaps they crammed too much sweet whatnots in here, tilting the effect backwards. The final similarity was the sweet aftertaste in the saliva.
In the end it was an inferior Sweet Vanilla Honeydew. I will however cellar the rest to see if some aging may save it.

Quite nice, easy-smoking an aromatic, but without anything special to it.

In smoking experience, this tobacco is smoked for the benefit of room note on the same order as Blue Note. It is an aromatic of the first order. The tobacco itself is in the very mild range and nothing to write home about. Will keep the non smoking crowd off your back for sure. I smoke this only for this reason. Captain Black or Blue Note would give you a better tobacco experience. Room Note Hall of Fame candidate.
