Pipa Vanilla Cavendish

Pipa... I was sold by the name and as my wife says, "the Slut on the bag"

I like it, and infact has turned into a rotational favorite. I love it with a cup of coffee on my drive to work, just a delightful and simple blend.

Yea its some cheap stuff. I dont suspect the tobaccos are of the highest quality but the blend itself was well put together and its function is perfect. The vanilla aroma is spot on to me, strong and chewy but not sour in taste and actually fairs up much better to me then Lanes -1Q. It does require a bit of drying, just a dish overnight on what i plan to smoke the next morning gets the moisture just right for hassel free enjoyment. It will bite if you go freight train on it, so best kept mellow. With a little drying it has never gooped my piece and rarely gurgles. Ghost is acceptible and fades quickly, relights are few, and ashy tasting bottoms are rare. The Blonde Tyrant actually enjoys this blend in the house, saying "it smells like vanilla and not a pipe" !!!!! so all in all a winner in my book.

Now the other opinions on it. They included a free pipe. Yes it is as cheap as you could possibly imagine, but not complete garbage. I burned out the first one, but with some glue and a little repair- that stupid china cob is now one of my best smokers, whooping up on some pricey briar. Go-Figure. Now what makes this the shooting star

The Sticker. I come from the car world so stickers with parts seem normal to me... but one with my tobacco? thats something to display! And yes... I do indeed like the red-head on the bag. Its cheap... you wont cry if you toss it and you get a sticker and pipe. for 5 bucks... its worth the try.
