I think it worked! You actually don't really taste the vanilla, it just tasted like a creamy sweet cigar! And you can taste the tobacco as well. BUT I grabbed the wrong pipe and it was ghosted with some frosty mint.. Still I'll give it a go again once this dang minty taste goes..
I picked the Vanilla Royale because as far as vanillas go it is made with a variety of tobaccos same as Habana Daydream as well as 14 different vanillas (supposedly)
I'm thinking i'll call it "Sweet Dreams" or "Pleasant Nightmare"
Snag: Were you going for a high nic aromatic? or taste?
