Sutliff D-40 Vanilla

[mikecronis]

Searching for a decent vanilla is a challenge. Cavendish styles usually have a natural, vanilla-y taste, but sometimes you want a really good vanilla, especially if you're an aromatic fan such as myself.

Most of Sutliff's options for vanilla are pretty unremarkable or too soft or vague and they offer 15 varieties and another 20 or so sub-varieties (such as creme brule)! Mac Baren's vanilla flake is decent, however, and bought-out by Sutliff fairly recently I believe.

D-40 Vanilla by Sutliff reminds me of Breyer's Vanilla ice cream with a nice vanilla bean aftertaste. Simple, pure, and not chemically, I recommend the smooth, creaminess of it without cheating with a ton of black Cavendish. Flavored with vanilla extract it's a good, cool summer smoke.

Strongly recommended.

I'm going to try Boswell Pipes & Tobacco's version to see if it stacks-up this weekend. Wish me luck.

The best Vanilla I had found is no longer available. Lane Limited Vanilla Black Cavendish was a real treat. I like to taste the tobacco with my aromatics so the vanilla tobacco that I go to occasionally is Virginia Gold Vanilla. It is not a "Sell My Clothes I'm Going to Heaven" tobacco, but it is a very enjoyable smoke.

I am not really an aro fan, but one of the first tobaccos I ever ordered was Sutliff Vanilla Custard. It's an over the top, goopy Aro, but it definitely delivers 100% on the vanilla custard flavor.

Thanks for the rec. I tried Creme Brulee and Vanilla Custard which were both only ok to me. What other aros do you like that have a good taste?

Have you tried Mac Baren vanilla Creme?

I smoked some Sutliff Vanilla earlier today and was reminded why I very rarely ever smoke that stuff.

However, if Vanilla is your thing, might I suggest MacBaren Vanilla Flake? I normally enjoy that one.

I wish Smokingpipes had separate categories for "Aromatics" and "Pipe Ghosting Aromatics", and then a "Hazardous Materials" section for anything equivalent to a properly sauced Lakeland.
There's nothing like the thrill of a sensory overload induced seizure.

I went through a vanilla phase, trying all of the vanilla blends, and MacB’s Vanilla Creme Flake was my favorite, with PS Sweet Vanilla taking second place for me.
But, this all reminds me of a thing I did…

FYI, it was Mac Baren that bought Sutliff in 2013

Also, Mac Baren Vanilla Creme is my favorite vanilla, highly recommended. More Virginia flavor, and a bit less vanilla, than the flake.

The closest I've found to the Lane Vanilla Black Cav you mentioned is Stokkebye Black Vanilla. Hope you like it!
