Stanwell Vanilla Pipe Tobacco

Great smooth smoke and no tounge bite. A little dryer than I expected but does smoke a little fast but still a great flavor and smoke!

I picked up a tin of the Stanwell Vanilla recently at my local tobacco shop. I found the tin in a clean up the shelve basket marked down a bit. Although I truly am compelled to smoke an entire tin or more of any tobacco prior to comment; I must say I was impressed! The tobacco was a perfect moisture content, had minimal twigs in the blend, burns well in a couple of lights and remains lit with only a few tamps along the way. The delicious vanilla actually came through in the taste notes, as opposed to just a room scent. The room notes were pleasant, without being overbearing. Most of all, the taste remained consistent through the entire bowl (and yes I smoke to the bottom). I simply don't jump up and down with every tobacco I try; but this one is really a wonderful blend that I'd strongly recommend to the newbies out there! My only regret is not trying this blend many years ago. Pipe Used: Peterson Jeckle and Hyde Age When Smoked: A couple of months Purchased From: Local tobacconist Similar Blends: For some reason it reminds me of Borkum Riff back in the 70's. Although Borkum Riff isn't a vanilla, it just has similar taste notes in my opinion. Please don't attack me to let me know how different they are; because I just said that myself!.

Fantastic. Very enjoyable.

I think this type is for seasoned Piper's, I am new to the game and remember smelling nice aromatics as a kid so I had to try a few. Has awesome tin and room note, burns well. Here is the part you take with a grain of salt because I'm new, found it harsh on my mouth and then the taste wasn't really really pleasing to me, because I'm new so take that with a grain of salt.

The taste was satisfying. The container is handy.
