This morning was wet and dreary but I made it out onto the deck for a smoke of a new aromatic blend called Stanwell Vanilla. It is a blend of Danish Dark Cavendish, Burley and Virginia tobaccos with Samsun from Turkey, which I smoked in my Stanwell Zebrano--it only made sense. Right out if the tin I could smell the Vanilla--duh. The tobacco appears to be a cube cut of all three tobaccos. I packed it lightly in the Zebrano, lit it with my IM Corona Old Boy (did I mention that I love this lighter?), and smoke it! It produced a nice full smoke which I enjoy, and the arima of vanilla is apparent. The taste on my palate also reminds me of cooked sweet meat--like cooking on an open fire while camping :) I enjoy this taste and is seems like anything, or majority of anything I smoke has left this taste on my palate. I enjoy the aromatics but I feel that I really prefer the "standard" full flavored tobaccos over anthing else. It still isn't a bad tobacco to start the day!
