The nutty, earthy burley, the grassy, citrusy Virginia and the sugary black cavendish work well together, though the vanilla topping does sublimate the tobaccos a bit. The vanilla has a little richness. Has virtually no nicotine, Won’t bite or get harsh. Burns cool and clean at a moderate pace with a smooth, lightly creamy, consistent flavor from start to finish. Leaves little moisture in the bowl, and requires a tad more than an average number of relights. Has a very pleasant after taste. Can be an all day smoke or a mixer.

The pouch aroma is wonderful. I get a nice flavor when I exhale through the snork. Stronger flavor than Captain Black Gold, at roughly one third the price. Virginia Gold tobaccos are sold OTC at Rite Aid, and online at pipes and cigars.com. CT is a tax heavy state. A nine ounce bag costs $17.99 @ Rite Aid. Pipes and cigars gets $8.99. A buck an ounce, how can you beat that ? I smoke this stuff at work on my breaks. At this price, I have no guilt about knocking out any unburnt tobacco when it's time to return to work. At this price, I'll try the other Virginia Gold blends that come in a 1.5 ounce pouch. Given the similar low cost, I'll probably also try the Admirals Choice blends sold by Pipes and Cigars.com. Pretty good about staying lit, minimal relights. Minor tongue bite experienced by this fierce puffer. UPDATE: After going through a nine ounce bag, I realized that this isn't as economical as you might first think. Reason ? It burns very fast. Buy yourself the 1.5 ounce pouch and try it. You'll probably be pleasantly surprised. Bystander approved. The price makes this a four star blend.

This is a very smooth blend with just a hint of vanilla and a mild undertone that does not bite. Also burns & lights easily and does not leave a lot of lingering flavor in the bowl making it perfect if you have one pipe but want to smoke several blends without leaving leftover flavor that would interfere with the other blends. I like all Virginia Gold blends but the Black Cavendish is my favorite while this vanilla blend is a very worthy second.

This is a very nice smoke, especially for the price. Pack the bowl loosely to get the delightful vanilla flavor, a hint of caramel, along with the nutty Burley to come out. Packed tighter and the flavor gets lost. The flavor fades about the middle of the bowl, but does continue to the end. This tobacco worked best when smoked slowly. Pushed harder it felt harsh on the tongue and the tobaccos take over. Pouch note was very pleasant. Room note was light and pleasant. It was't as tasty in a corn cob as in 3 different briars. Not sure why. Did not ghost any pipe. Moisture about perfect out of the bag. Very slight dampness left in bowl. Good all day smoke. 3 stars (B-)
