Developed and processed with similar leaf tobacco as the Vanilla Creme. Twice as much vanilla flavor has been added to provide a higher aroma and slightly sweeter taste.

WOW! Either PS has changed the blend since the last reviews or I just got lucky! I'll take it, whichever it is....
I found the pouch aroma nauseating. It smelled like synthetic something that was trying to be vanilla. I was not impressed, and I'm a little surprised that I even fired it up. But I'm quite glad I did.
I could barely taste any vanilla - it was more of a hint. But it really smoothed out the burley "flakelets"... really little "spikes" of pretty well rubbed out flake, but not to a ribbon extent. The high quality tobacco taste came through, while emitting a very nice room aroma. No bite to this if smoked slowly, which is something I'm used to as a confirmed VaPer aficionado. The taste was consistent all the way down the bowl, and there's something in that phenomenon that always spells "quality" to me. If you're a committed aromatic smoker (and the name of this blend tells me that most who have tried it probably are), you most likely will not care for this. But treat it gently and you'll find a consistently creamy and tasty smoke that, while not destined for the Tobacco Hall of Fame, will certainly please the smoker and those around him. Kudos to Stokkebye for creating a truly high quality aromatic!

Hail all my fellow pipe smokers, this short review is based on my opinion only, this tobacco is smooth and has a natural flavor of joined tobaccos and lightly topped with vanilla, the topping is in the background so it does not dominate the tobacco at all. Goes perfect with coffee and for all those aromatic hating people that say so much negative things I would encourage one to try it and enjoy it for what it is. This smoke is mild but might I remind some of you it still has nicotine and its still tobacco, some folks do not wanna blow there socks off or smell like a stale camp fire. Aromatics, Virgina's lovers and deep latakia smokers that are well rounded will agree.

Burns very well, no gurgle, quality tobacco, and a pleasant taste and room aroma. A very nice aromatic!

I'm sure I've smoked this blend in the past but I did not have any memory of it. I pick up a couple of ounces at a local shop to give it a try. I am not a huge fan of vanilla tobacco but at two bucks per oz. I wasn't risking much. Pleasant suprise! This stuff is not half bad. It has a very strong vanilla scent in the pouch but that does not carry over to the pipe. Once I had it fired up the vanilla moved to the back and decent tobacco flavor was front and center. It burned with no bite and no bitter ending. It did not leave any gooey crap in the bottem of the piper either. I don't know that I'll rush out and buy a pound any time real soon but I've certainly smoked worse blends. Overall, I rather like it.

I purchased this blend because I'm trying to find a good vanilla tobacco blend that isn't all gooped up with PG and will actually dry out enough to enjoy. This so far has not dissapointed. It drys out very well if set out for a bit before your smoke. I dry mine out usually about an hour beforehand. I would rank this up there with the CAO/Dan Tobacco Treasures of Ireland - Galway but this Stokkebye blend is a lot cheaper in price. I love both but will keep this blend around as my everyday smoke.
It has a pleasant vanilla room note. However, my tobacco does not have an overly-vanilla taste. I can still taste the flavor of tobacco in there. I recommend this blend.

Perhaps the folks at Stokkebye have 'tweaked' this blend since the last review of the product (8/06, below). Although on the moist side, air drying helped immeasurably and, I think, brought out the vanilla flavor/sweetness and eliminated any goop build up in my pipe. It burns fairly cool; well, take your time and you will suffer no tongue bite. If you enjoy a hearty vanilla-cased aromatic, this is a good one.
