Peter Stokkebye No. 9F French Vanilla uses a base of Stokkebye's traditional Cavendish, made of Virginia and Burley that has been pressed, sliced and tumbled out. This blend uses a larger dose of vanilla flavor than No. 9 Vanilla Creme, but the aroma is pleasant and the taste is much more subtle than one might expect.
Good flavor, but too much tongue bite for my taste. I lean to the very mild side with my tobacco, so any tongue bite is more than I'd prefer. I prefer Captain Black Dark. I also have a nice Lane's Black Cav that smokes smooth & mellow.

You get quite a bit for your money. Unfortunately for me I only liked one of them. The French vanilla was delicious.

Solid, low maintenance, pleasant smoking blend
Jan 23, 2019
I'm not the world's most experience pipe smoker by any means, but I have enjoyed this blend. It's a no fuss blend. Whether I dry it a little or pinch it straight from the pouch, I get a good smoke that I rarely have to relight. It burns a bit quickly, to my subjective eye, probably accounting for the ease of keeping it lit, but I have had no problems with overheating. No tongue bite, either. It's just extremely well behaved, easy to pack, easy to smoke. The smoke itself is on the sweet side. Not a vanilla flavor, really, just good, sweet tobacco. In fact, the vanilla seems to be all in the room note, which suits me when I'm smoking indoors. If you are looking for a blend that's easy and enjoyable to smoke, you have plenty of choices, but you won't go wrong if you go with this one. It's just solid.

Vanilla?

Purchased both stokkebye and lane vanilla black cav at the same time. Stoks was blah. After 6 bowls of each there is no comparison. Lane had more vanilla taste and enjoyment. Would not recommend STOKS.

Mellow
Sep 12, 2018
This is a mellow blend, I would like a little more flavor, but the smell is good. I give it a 4 star because I like a smooth smoke first thing in the morning, and this fills that need. I would like to taste a little more of the flavor.

The purchase included five vanilla samples, all were good - four of them exceptional. All five tobaccos were smooth and very mellow. Great bargain, I would definitely recommend this!

It burns hot. Not nearly as good as Sutliff's Vanilla Custard Cream.
Peter Stokkebye tobaccos don't seem as good as when Peter was in charge.

Not bad tobacco but I like the Stokkebye Vanilla Creme much better. Has a more balanced and richer taste than this. Will use this as a blender and move on.

Great Service average smoke
Aug 12, 2015
This was in my second order from pipes and cigars as I am a fairly new pipe smoker. I would like to first of all thank pipes and cigars for great service and great prices. I will continue to buy from them. On to the tobacco. I bought this on a whim last second before I finalized my order. It doesn't have an over the top vanilla flavor like I though it would. It is a decent smoke but nothing too notable. I will be trying other PS blends as I have heard they blend other fine smokes.

Nice mellow flavor. No bite. Easy to light and keep going.

I was somewhat disappointed with the French Vanilla that I received. I had previously ordered a one-ounce sample, and it was very good, which is why I ordered a full pound next. But the tobacco I received seemed to come from the "bottom of the barrel", so to speak. Much of it was stiff and hard to get into the pipe, as though part of the stems of the tobacco plant had been included, not just the leaves. It also seemed to burn much hotter than the sampler I had previously tried. The flavor has some vanilla to it, but it is by no means overpowering. It has a good aroma, but that doesn't make up for the other drawbacks. On my next order, I plan to revert to the Stokkebye Black Vanilla, which I now realize I much prefer over the French Vanilla. Maybe I just got a bad batch, but I will probably not order the French Vanilla again.
