Peter Stokkebye Black Vanilla (No.21)

The tobaccos are exceptionally muted by the vanilla topping, and you taste little else, except for a hint of nuts and grass from the burley and Virginia, respectively. Has little nicotine. Burns well with a consistent flavor, but gets a little warm after the half way point, so I don't recommend a fast smoking cadence. Doesn't bite, though. Leaves a little moisture in the bowl, but no goop. needs an average number of relights. Not a bad all day smoker or mixer, but isn't special enough to rise above two stars.

I'm on the search for the perfect Vanilla. This one comes pretty close. It's a finalist at least, along with a couple of Sutliff blends, D40 Vanilla and Vanilla Custard. Nice flavor, but a little bit of a bite to it. For that reason it gets a 3.

This is a fine tobacco. A nice ribbon cut makes it easy to pack. Smells nice in the bag. Has a nice vanilla taste. Very relaxing smoke indeed. Highly recomended. Stokkebye has done it again.

Delicious !!! This is Jet black Cavendish with natural dark vanilla flavor, burns easy and cool with no bite whatsoever. the taste is full bodied and especially creamy, Delightful!

Try this blend if you like the natural Unsweetened black vanilla in your tobacco.

Comment = Very Smooth, Very Mild, some vanilla Flavor, nice Full Body smoke

Very flat, mild flavor. Vanilla and some dark bready notes. The only positive here is that the tobacco lit easily and stayed lit the whole time. Felt pretty wet out of the bag but hasn't gurgled. Very meh overall, I will use this as a blending agent.

It may be my palate but I can detect no taste difference between this blend and the Peter Stokkebye's 201 Black Cavendish. There is a noticeable difference in smell (in the bag) but it tastes the same to me. Wonderful sweet "bubble gum" note, nice mild tobacco taste, and a very pleasant room note to boot. I fully enjoyed this blend and plan on adding it to my regular, everyday smoking. No tongue bite and a fair amount of nicotine. The smoke is mild and can be inhaled (for you cigarette smokers) so I would highly recommend this tobacco for novice pipe smokers especially those dumping cigarettes in favor of pipes. I had no trouble getting this to take a light and stay lit. It may have been my sample but it looks like just the right amount of moisture. Smokes well in briar and cobs, I enjoy this blend most in my smallish unfiltered churchwarden. Get a sample and try this tobacco, it is very nice.

This is an okay smoke. Rather ho-hum, lacking the 'presence' that Stokkebye's French Vanilla or Vanilla Cream have. It burns well, does not leave any goopy dottle, and does not bite the tongue. Novice pipers' wives/girlfriends may in enjoy the mild aromatic quality of this blend. Nicely priced.

A boutique tobacco with a lot of vanilla that comes across as actual vanilla. (Not cheap and waxy) I would recommend it to novice over drugstore vanillas.Stokes is cheap. i bought a batch once with chunks of mold in it.

I love aromatic tobaccos, BUT, this one is far to mild. It tasted and smelled more like steam than smoke. Almost no flavor or aroma. Not recommended at all, not even for new pipe smokers.
