My jar of "all things vanilla"

So while the wife and kids went to church I went and packed a bowl from
my jar of "all things vanilla" and went outside to try it out. Surprise
is the word that comes to mind. It was tasty..sweet..smooth...mellow and
full of flavor and body! This is the where I dump all of the vanilla
tobacco i try and dont really care for it..not that its bad it just
lacks one thing or another and then that small amount that I have that
really wont fill a bowl or two. I keep a list of what I dump in just for
the sake of keeping a list. In this jar i found I had the following in
no precise order or amounts:

1. Captain Black Gold
2.Capt Black White
3.supervalue vanilla
4.some MV 1000 bulk
5. Smokers Pride Vanilla
6.Sutliff Vanilla custard
7.Super value black and gold
8.C'est La Vie
9.super value amaretto ( not vanilla but no other place to dump it)
10. Stokkeybye nougut
11.super value black Cavendish
12. Five brothers ( I added that just because)
 

I
have had this as an ongoing project for over a year and figured it was
time to try and I must say that each tobacco brought something to the
party that made a pleasant and very acceptable smoke. For every tobacco
that had one nice element but lacked depth or dimension it combined with
others that also had that same issue of single dimension flavor and it
seemed that blending them all together brought out all of the high
points of each blend and none of the low points came into play. There
was no goopy sticky mess..no taste of burnt candy..and surprise of all
surprises no bite!!
This is now going to be my take to work blend,
whenever I get back to work. because it really does taste nice and since
I have very little actually invested in the tobacco I wont feel bad
dumping some out at the end of my lunch!!

    Why dump it out? I've slid a half smoked bowl in my pocket for hours
    at a time. Sounds like a great mix you have going. Kind of like a long Island
    Tea, lots of varity and flavor.

    One of the things mentioned in some reviews is "DG"(Delayed Gratitude.) where you leave the pipe for a period of time and then relight it an hour or five later. Aromatics often don't hold their flavor as much as English types etc.. some do however. Always worth a try.

    I work in long term care..(nursing home) and I can't have a half smoked pipe in my pocket while I am caring for the residents and I cant leave it in my jacket because we have residents and some other people who like to "liberate" item from other peoples jackets lunch boxes purses or anything else they can get their hands on..now when fishing I have no prob relighting after a few hours!

    Sweet vanilla honeydew from Dan tobacco is a favorite but I'm always looking for a new vanilla. The list provided was outstanding!
