Do you want some tobacco flavour in there as well, or just vanilla?
I would love a lot of vanilla maybe not all vanilla but want it to be the majority. I am willing to try them all just love it.I'm currently trying Stand-alone vanilla and am getting a weird smell from it..fresh tin

I like MB Vanilla but the vanilla taste is faint. Room note is where the vanilla shows up. Or is it smells up? Its one of the few MB blends that dont bite me.

For strong, sweet vanilla, try Lane MV-1000 (Capt Black Gold in bulk). For a lighter vanilla with tobacco taste, my favorite is Mac Baren Vanilla Cream. They are both mostly or all Virginia tobaccos.

The Lane is too sweet for me on it's own, so I blend in straight Virginia.

Best advice is to try them all and see which ones you like. Sadly I don't know if I can find my favorite one any more. It was a Seatle Pipe Club blend made by Lane. It was in a metal round tin. And the thing that made it different was that the Vanilla had this liquor taste but also a very genuine Vanilla. Like some kind of booze infused with Vanilla or made from it.... But the Vanilla was very full spectrum Vanilla. And that kind of supports my point. There are lots of little touches that can make a big difference.
I personally don't smoke a lot of Vanilla blends (for reasons), but the only ones I haven't enjoyed have been Captain black and it was just because it has too much PG in it.

Mac Baren Vanilla Roll Cake is another one that has a very obvious vanilla flavor. They use Madagascar Vanilla for this one which I think stands out more than the usual vanilla flavors used for most aromatics. It's probably my favorite aromatic

Sutliff Vanilla Custard is a very Vanilla-y Aro. Good mixer IMO. One more vote here for MacBaren Vanilla Roll Cake though, as the best of the bunch, but it also tastes like tobacco.

Also suggest the Mac Baren vanilla trio. For me, the loose has the most topping experience. Flake is in the middle. Roll cake has more of a baking spice vanilla quality to it.
