I tried this in an Altinok meerschaum to ensure a clean test. BR has a pleasant smell in the package and had a good moisture level - neither too wet nor too dry. It packed well. The charring light was easy and the first taste was pleasant and mild with no particular flavour noted. There's lots of white smoke! As I get into the bowl I note that it's very cool burning with no bite even when pushed. This is a light aromatic with a hint of vanilla, but very subtle. It's an excellent tobacco, if a bit one-dimensional. That's not a problem for me, particularly if I'm busy and don't want to focus on just the pipe. Snorking brings out the vanilla a bit more but it's still very subtle, at least to me. The room note is reported as very pleasant. All-in-all a first rate smoke able to hold its own with the finest aromatics I've tried, and it's excellent value for the money!

Great, Subtle Pouch note. Smooth and tasty smoke, best "sipped" like an aro should be. Got a little hot and harsh when pushed, but once it cooled back down it was great. I should have let it dry a little more, but it wasn't too syrupy. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this one to you.

Very pleasant tin note upon opening. It has a light vanilla taste, not overwhelming, but the room note is distinctly vanilla. No bite, suitable for all day. Good cheap smoke - But there are better Vanilla's.

A fairly mild aromatic with an awesome scent! While it's not the most powerful vanilla blend I've ever had, it releases a pleasant aroma all throughout the smoke, making this a great tobacco to smoke around people who are not into piping. The flavor is still good and for the price, it's pretty hard to beat. No tongue bite whatsoever and only minimal fuss required during the smoke.
