Rollie Tobacco: Vanilla (5/10)

I haven't a lot to say about the Gawith and Hoggarth 'Auld Kendal' Vanilla rollie tobacco. It is exactly what the name suggests- tastes of vanilla. In fact, there is quite an intense vanilla aroma, both in the unsmoked tobacco, and in the smoke itself... strong, but I wouldn't say overpowering. It will be all down to your taste, but I would not recommend this tobacco if you are not a vanilla fan. I would recommend it if you are smoking around other people who might not like the dry cloying smoke of Drum or Golden Virginia.

The Vanilla tobacco is only moderately tarry, and not terribly strong. In addition, it keeps for a rather long time before drying out which is certainly useful for me who only goes through about 12.5 grams per week or less. Give it a try, it is neither spectacular nor bad in any way... just vanilla-ey.

  • Flavour: 5/10
  • Sweetness: 5/10
  • Tar (1=wet, 10=dry): 4/10
  • Value for Money: 6/10
  • Indulgence Factor: 4/10
  • Overall Rating: 5/10
