Bjarne Viking Odin's Wind

I really liked this one. Odin’s wind is one of the best vanillas I’ve tried yet. The tin note, the flavor, and the room note were all exceptionally pleasing. Not too sweet, very simply it reminded me of vanilla bean ice cream. Not complicated but very pleasing. The tobacco is moist in the tin, but lit and smoked just fine. The only complaint I have is that I had a large few stems in the tin. If it weren’t for the stems, I probably would’ve given it four stars.

This came as part of a 3 tin Vanilla lover sampler. Right off the bat, I'll say this was the best of the three. It's of typical aromatic construction, with vanilla and some sort of indistinguishable but pleasant fruity toppings. Nothing very standout, on the whole. But it smokes well, even right out of the tin, and I never got tongue bite, so bonus points there. There's a good deal of flavor in the smoke too(topping flavor) that translates well from the tin note....I don't think there's any worse tobacco than an aromatic blend which burns hot with thin smoke and weak flavor. This one performed nicely in all aspects. Ghosting of the pipe didn't seem to be much of a problem either. It's good, better than many(maybe even most), but not unique enough to be great. It's worth a try, especially if you've got an affinity for fruitier vanillas.

I let this dry out a little before smoking. Overall it is a solid Vanilla Aro, pleasant room and tin note, burns well, not too hot. No bite. Not one of my favorites, nothing spectacular, but a pretty good smoke

Got this in a sampler trio from P&C. Tiring of my usual english blends, I've been exploring aromatics and this is one I like rather a lot. Smokes cool, meaty mouth feel, tastes good, a bit of sweetness, not too much, still tobacco. Will probably buy again.
