Peter Stokkebye B&B (No. 23)

A lot of great reviews, so I will just add the following: This is one of the only blends I have smoked (Newbie here) that actually tastes on the tongue like it smells and I think that is high praise indeed for an Aro blend. This one will please the gf's and wives of pipers. Light, mild, sweet and pleasing room note.

Peter Stokkebye - B&B (No. 23).

The mix is 50/50 black Cavendish and Burley. My pouched smelled completely different to how the smoke tastes, it was almost perfumey, strange! The moisture of my blend couldn't be argued with, which is pleasant for an aromatic, and the ribbons are medium in size.

There's a few references to chocolate in the smoke, and I can concur with a slight note of chocolate, but I'd be more inclined to believe this emanates from the Burley, it's not strong enough to suggest a topping. The Vanilla is notable, with ease, but not strong nor heavy. The temperature of B&B is cool, and it burns reliably. Tongue bite? It takes until the end of a bowl to begin, and that's only when I've strained it too much.

The room-note's nice and the nicotine's mild.

This isn't a bad smoke, but there's lots of better vanilla aromatics available.

Somewhat recommended.

This blend appears to consist of mostly black cavendish with some burley. It has a slightly glossy apearance and is mostly ribbon cut. There are pieces of broken flake in the bag as well. The tin (bag) aroma is predominantly vanilla, cherry, and chocolate with a little nutty burley.

It packs well, albeit a little moist for my liking. Not goopy or sticky.

The taste is not what I was expecting. I taste more burley than the appearance or aroma out of the bag suggested. There is a pleasant, creamy vanilla taste. The cherry is present as well, and is at times the star of the show. It doesn't taste artificial to me, it's just subtly sweet. It reminds me of cherry kijafa. Very surprised by this one. Very cool smoking, no tongue bite.

I am experiencing some burn issues, 4-5 relights, but I believe some drying time will remedy any future problems.

The room note is pretty fantastic. Nutty burley, sweet black cavendish, cherry and vanilla come together to create an aroma reminiscent of fresh baked cherry pie.

The burn issues are kind of a bummer, but this is an otherwise fantastic tobacco. Two aromatic flavors well known for biting (vanilla, cherry) have been brought together in a harmonious, bite free blend. If you are a fan of cherry aromatics, but not the bite often associated with them, give this one a shot.

An outstanding flavor of Natural vanilla and chocolate, cool, mild, it gives a lot of dense and white smoke without any tongue bite.

This is an OK smoke. I do get a little vanilla here and there and I can taste the tobacco as it comes through here and there as well. The flavors are very mild but overall consistent. Not a bad aromatic and it smokes fairly dry too. Not much in the Mr. N. department but still a nice change of pace from time to time. I leave this at only 2 stars because while I do enjoy it once in a while more often than not I end up tossing the last of it because it has sat around so long it has dried out beyond repair so there really is nothing that keeps me coming back for it.

The subtle scent of vanilla or raisins meets the nose upon opening this bulk selection. The smoking flavour is a bit illusive compared to other aromatics, and the burley begins to dominate in the last half of the game. However, this will be a hit with anyone around you who doesn't like smoking but wants to believe that grandpa's ghost still smokes a pipe; it glows with a sweet mince-meat warmth that lurks about in my smoking room (aka garage). It also leaves the mouth free of any compostable aftertaste. B-B is ideal for the all-day Cavendish smoker who needs a price break, especially if bought in quantity.

Very fine Aromatic! Didn't taste vanilla, tasted more like chocolate / coffee (mocha?). The Burley is high quality. Recommended as a change of pace. Not goopy but will flavor a pipe.

7/8/2005: O.K. for crossover or newbie...

A special blend that always provides me with a comforting, pleasant pipe smoking experience.

There are many burley and black cavendish blends out there and I have tried many of them. B&B by Peter Stokkebye stands out to me because, like I have found in all PS's aromatics, there is a unique taste and smell, that I can not describe, that is very appealing to my sense of taste and smell, which does not exist in other mixtures available on the market.

Highly recommended.
