Sutliff Black Vanilla

Excellent. The aroma is keen. A very relaxing smoke and it's great when mixing.

Good smooth vanilla smoke.

Not bad; but not the intense vanilla flavor of the late Lane Limited VBC. Since I can no longer get the Lane product, this will have to do. I mixed this with LL Hazelnut for a great smoke with very little bite. Nice morning blend with coffee. Great flavor from the hazelnut and burned much cooler than hazelnut by itself. This will probably be my go-to black cav for mixing.

Nice flavor not a lot of bite. Let dry a day before smoking, comes a bit damp.

this is by far my favorite tobacco so far.. great heavy sent, great taste, this is my all around go to pipe.

It burns cool, and the flavor is sweet without being overwhelming. The vanilla note is more of a bourbon vanilla, with a slight spicy note. Excellent room note. No tongue bite that I noticed. To me, it tastes like black cavendish with Bourbon Street's top note. Definitely will buy more.

Pleasant aroma out of the package most like a mild vanilla with a faint hint of chocolate. Room note has a nice lingering smell. No bite, good blender.

Middle of the road. Very rustic cut and a lot of work to smoke

A good smoke at a good price

I have tried 3 Sutliff tobaccos with similar results; too many stems and flavors appear sprayed on the tobacco with each.

Great aroma of vanilla not too wet but not too dry. Very smooth no bit to tongue.

Delicious, excellent taste, good aroma, really good for blending. I certainly am a fan of sutliff Black Vanilla.

I like it

Just plain good as an all day smoke.

Smooth and sweet

MILD RICH TOBACCO

Smokes well and for me a dry smoke. Use is daily

This is a fine tasting tobacco, VERY mild wonderful taste smooth VERY mild excellent room note, well received by non smokers they love the vannila room note. Areos will really enjoy this blend. Fine for a change of pace, this is great daily smoke. Bob

Good to go everyday smoke. Also blends well with Sutclif vanilla custard

Great aroma in the bag, nice moisture content (ready to smoke from bag). Nice subtle vanilla flavor with sweet tobacco but it seems to have teeth. I get a small amount of tongue bite from this. Definitely a sipper. May have to mix it with another smoother black Cav. Nice room note of spicy vanilla. Not bad but not the best vanilla I have had. ZBC is superior in my humble opinion.

Good smoke bit like many Sutliff blacks, it's a little moist which will be frustrating if you are new to a pipe. Let it air a while before the smoke and, to me, it's a good relaxing evening smoke. Will keep it in stock here.

Smells and taste is delicious

Notes that make it just slightly unappealing still a fine smoke with a good room note.

For the price it never disappoints

Good smoke I was happy.

This is a good morning smoke. I did like the fact that the blend was purely black cavendish, however that did make it hard to light. I was told by my roommate that the room note was great! I think I like the Sutliff Vanilla Custard a little better than this blend as I was able to taste the vanilla flavor more.

Great flavor and burn

Great vanilla taste & smell. Burns well

Mild vanilla, but very delightful. It’s a warmer smoke with mid strength flavor. Over all a very good tobacco. I will purchase again.

Nice

it's a hit at my house

I like the tobacco it is mild and smokes very well. The only complaint I have is it is WAY to moist. I have to put it in my humidor and leave the lid open to dry it out.

I would like more vanilla, BUT, this is the smoothest blak cav on pipesncigars, along with esprsso and chocokate mouse, is a new staple for me now. not much aromatic, would have nocked it down to four star but cant bring myself to because the blak cav is so excellent. buy it for the blak cav, just try a four oz, amazing.

I love burleys and vanilla, so this is one of my main tobaccos. very moist, but a dry lingering flavor. not a strong vanilla, but you know it's there.

Very good. Way better then the price leads you to believe. Better then more expensive brands.

I like the black vanilla quite a bit. My daily go to.

Great taste and room note. It's not so moist that I have to delight all the time.

Mix with equal parts sutliff black or black cav for a smooth mild smoke

Great stuff

A good bulk blend for the money.

My husband is the pipe smoker. He says Sutliff Black Vanilla is a smooth smoke from start to finish, which was a pleasant surprise for an inexpensively-priced tobacco. I love the way it smells, both in the package and when he's smoking it. He gave a sample to a friend of ours, and our friend loved it so much that he asked us to order some for him, too!

Very mild burns slowly good taste would buy again

Wonderful experience for a new pipe smoker and beautiful aromatic scent.

Excellent. I like it a lot.

Burns well, flavorful with out the artificialness of some aros. Solid vanilla without being over powering.

The flavor and aroma are good, but it burns hotter and wetter than I personally prefer.

The Sutliff Black Vanilla pip tobacco has insignificant bite and nice flavor.

One of the better offerings

I thought I would try a new van,,well im GLAD I did.This blend is very nice,,no bite at all .IT packs and burns very well leaving a nice white ash.To my tastes the flavoring is not over powering or strong,,the room aroma is great.I havent had any complaints on the aroma yet no matter where I was smoking this blend.The larger style flake cut was different,,I hadnt had any flake like that for years.It arrived with the just right amount of moisture too.I let my buddy try some of this,,he hadnt smoked a pipe in probably 25 years and he was Blown Away.So now I gotta more for myself and him.25 years ago our pipe tob choices were kind of limited.This stuff does has a very mild different flavor to it that I cant put my finger on but this is A VERY NICE change and would will be in my rotation from now on.I smoke this blend in a very large bent billiard and i have no complaints at all.

Ok for the price. Smells good but a bit lacking in flavor, a few stems mixed in.

Ordered a few vanilla blends and I liked this one .

If you are a black cavendish and vanilla fan, this is a must. It is certainly in the top 10 or 15 blend I have ever tried. It has taste but no bite.

Fantastic! Top notch! Sutliff is very tasty. Minimal to zero tongue bite. Balanced flavor, burns well. Go Sutliff.

This is a very solid go-to for me. Well cut, perfect moisture. Thick smoke that slowly surrounds your head. Vanilla is definitely the main flavor, but it is subtle, although warm. No bite. Room notes are pleasing. My wife likes it, and she has very stringent room note standards.

It doesn't taste like vanilla at all but it's ok.

Relaxing smoke you could do all day.

Very smooth with a nice Vanilla undertone. It is a very similar base vanilla flavor to Sutliff's Spicey Vanilla offering, but without the "spice" and not quite as prominent on the pallet. It smokes well once lit, but getting it to light is somewhat difficult for me. I have found this to be great for blending with other tobacco where I am trying to shape the flavor profile or slow down the burn a bit.

Delicious. Custard-like, creamy mouth-feel. It smokes cool with no bite. Smells fantastic. There were a couple twiggy bits but nothing to cry about. If you enjoy aromatics and more specifically, vanilla, I highly recommend this tobacco.

I am not sure how I missed Sutliff tobacco for so many years and have smoked some very good blends that have stayed in my rotation, but Black Vanilla is the best I have had. When it went on sale at P&C last month, I bought an ounce of several Sutliff blends, including Black Vanilla. This is the vanilla blend I had hoped to find for a very long time. It is a pure black cavendish with a very pleasant room note. It is one of the few vanilla blends that I can actually taste the vanilla. Be sure to use a big bowl to smoke this one, or you will be reloading. No bite, burns cool. This is a winner!

This smokes well with no bite and the black cav works for me just fine, but I definitely prefer the McClelland VBC better, but that is just my personal taste. I have a bit of a sweet tooth and that is why the MaC VBC is my fav vanilla. That is the only reason I won't buy this again, but I will finish it without complaint and/or blend a bit of it with the Mac VBC.

Smooth ans Tasty

Nice n smokey with great flavor.

I like this tobacco. I was traveling aboard in Austria and a older gentlemen was smoking this. It smelled fantastic. I finally tried it and I really enjoyed it. There was almost no bite from hard drags and the room note was extremely pleasant. I find that it's hard to smell the vanilla flavor but this one was very nice. I am going to buy more of it after this first pouch.

This is a mild to medium smoke with a nice vanilla flavor that leaves the room smelling great. Right out of the bag this smoked fantastically - my charring light didn't go out and I smoked a good portion of the bowl before having to re-light (re-lighting is really that big of a deal to me, but...) This is fairly fine cut and will fill the pipe quickly without needing a lot of packing. You may also be surprised at how little there is in the bag when it shows up - it is quite dense in the bag or jar. The vanilla flavor is not overwhelming, but it is noticeable.

Its a fine ish cut that lights well and smokes even. Great flavor. It just might be my new favorite.

Great tobacco, good taste, absolutely no bite, and very pleasant room note. I used it for mixing with other blends to add that sweet touch. I mixed with Lane 1Q and BCA. It burns evenly and not too moist to burn hot. If you like black Cavendish you will find it quite satisfying. Seems to mix with almost any blend to give it some sweetness. I recommend it heartily. Seems all the Sutliff tobaccos are quality, just as the Lane Limited blends are.
