Great Flavor abd Clouds of Smoke
May 11, 2018
Product: Cornell & Diehl Green River Vanilla Bulk
This, without a doubt, is the goopiest, moistest tobacco I have ever encountered. That said, I'm an impatient fellow and loaded the black slop into my pipe without drying. Surprisingly, it burned just fine with very little steam or goop in my pipe! I... Read More
t actually smoked incredibly dry and cool for how wet it was, and it produced the most smoke I've ever gotten from any tobacco. Literally clouds of white, flavorful smoke. The vanilla is present but lets the flavor of the burley tobacco shine. This is a hit for me. Read Less
Great for Blends
May 19, 2018
Product: Cornell & Diehl Green River Vanilla 2oz
Too sweet to smoke straight, but it blends well with other tobaccos. It's a primary ingredient in my own personal and favorite blend, too.
my favoite vanilla blend.
April 24, 2016
Product: Cornell & Diehl Green River Vanilla Bulk
A nice aroma and a mild smoke, I smoke 10 different vanilla tobaccos, but this is the one I smoke the most. It can be over moist, so I usually let a quantity dry out for a day, before I use it. I buy it by the pound. If you like vanillas give this on... Read More

Product: Cornell & Diehl Green River Vanilla 2oz
I love vanilla and so many C&D tobacco blends, so it was a no-brainer to try this one. I found a pleasant, easy smoke that leaves an agreeable room note. And what's not to like that every time I open the jar, it's like unboxing a freshly baked cake.... Read More

Excellent

Product: Cornell & Diehl Green River Vanilla Bulk
New favorite aromatic! The full black cavendish blend tastes amazing! I have to say it’s not necessarily a vanilla flavored blend, it’s more sweet like chocolate, unless when burning, it smells like vanilla which I’m not sure of. However, when you op... Read More

Greased my truck with it last night. Been trying to dry it out with paper towels for a week then cut it with cavendish. Waste of money
The Only C&D Tobacco I’ve Ever Hated
April 07, 2021
Product: Cornell & Diehl Green River Vanilla Bulk
This BC has the worst consistency of any black, wet leaf I have ever smoked. Oh sure, they’re all a little goopy, but this stuff is actually viscous, even slimy. I had no problems inhaling C&D’s Green River Vanilla BC - and it doesn’t taste bad, or l... Read More
eave any weird mouthfeel afterward. You could probably even eat it; I baked mine in the oven for a while on a sheet of wax paper, low heat. It dries out ok. It still leaves an oily film that lingers longer than any other on the fingertips, even after baking. The guy that said it’s motor oil really, really wasn’t kidding. I gave most of it away. Read Less

What can I say? This tobacco quickly became my all time favorite. The flavor is there, the smoke cloud is there. dense? Yes, now that you ask, it is very dense. It's goopy when you first get it. But its good to go right away. Flavor it top notc... Read More

best Vanilla Cavendish out there!
June 08, 2018
Product: Cornell & Diehl Green River Vanilla Bulk
I guess I have smoked just about every Vanilla flavored tobacco out there. C&D's Green River Vanilla is hands down my favorite. It burns cool and the flavor is the same, all the way down to the bottom of the bowl. I buy it in one pound bags and the ... Read More

Good mild aromatic
November 17, 2012
Product: Cornell & Diehl Green River Vanilla 2oz
This is my first all Burley blend, and a new attempt to enjoy aromatics. And I do enjoy this one. The tobacco has a nice mild taste and the vanilla aroma is really suave and balanced - not overwhelming or intoxicating, as it happens so often with aro... Read More

Mild and Oily
August 08, 2024
Product: Cornell & Diehl Green River Vanilla Bulk
This isn't a tobacco i smoke often but i do always like to keep it on hand, the vanilla flavor is mild and not cloying or overly artificial, in the jar the smell is more reminiscent of brownies, and it shows itself in the smoke playing nicely with a... Read More
subdued burley flavor remaining after the Cavendish process. It comes out of the bag/tin alarmingly wet, and with a coating reminiscent of cooking oil (that WILL stain, dont smoke this wearing white!), but even without drying burns well with minimal gurgle or need for pipe cleaners. The profile while smoking is fairly one dimensional, but pleasant, and with a room note that's gentle and wonderful. I definitely recommend giving this a shot if you enjoy Captain Black Dark, Lane BCA, or any other straight Cavendish blends. Read Less
Vanilla you say?

Product: Cornell & Diehl Green River Vanilla Bulk
I've had C&D blends that were fantastic. I've had vanilla blends that were fantastic. This isn't one of them. There's a slight vanilla aroma, but I'm just not getting the flavor. I'm not sure where it falls flat, maybe it just doesn't smoke well in t... Read More
he pipe that I chose this evening, maybe I need to smoke another bowl or two to really figure it out, but at this point in time, this is probably one of the lightest, most disappointing vanilla blends I've had. Unless this just shines in a different bowl size and shape or gets better with subsequent bowls, I won't be buying this one again. Read Less
Great smoke

Product: Cornell & Diehl Green River Vanilla 2oz
This has become my favorite yard work tobaccey. When I first received tin I thought it was too wet, nope, packed and light great. Very cool, long smoke that was relaxing while mowing. Tin note is nice and a very mild smoke. Vanilla does not come thro... Read More

Ok taste but horrible goo!
October 31, 2022
Product: Cornell & Diehl Green River Vanilla 2oz
Fairly mild vanilla flavor in my opinion. Not too much taste. I prefer BCA as it is a bit sweeter and richer in flavor. This is just a "meh" kind of tobacco for me. The major downside is this is the goopiest tobacco i have ever seen. Literally left a... Read More

Is this tobacco or melted black sugar?
April 19, 2022
Product: Cornell & Diehl Green River Vanilla Bulk
Not sure about this one. When I got it I tried to pack one after letting it sit out for an hour. Slow burnt 1/4 bowl and it started turning to a gloopy mess. Doesn’t taste bad, but had a hell of a bite from the thick casing. Stuffed it away for later... Read More

OK Blend
December 25, 2021
Product: Cornell & Diehl Green River Vanilla Bulk
This was an ok blend. Got it to try by itself as well as a mixer with other blends. On the fence about this one. I'm a hardcore Sutliff fan, so am more partial to their blends.
Goopy Goodness!
October 21, 2021
Product: Cornell & Diehl Green River Vanilla Bulk
Straight up the most goopy goodness you'll ever smoke! Crackles in your bowl like Rice Krispies. Sure it'll stain your fingers or whatever it comes in contact with, but it is well worth it. Tons of smoke and flavor!

Simply Delish
April 01, 2021
Product: Cornell & Diehl Green River Vanilla Bulk
To my palate there’s less of a vanilla thing going on with this tobacco (though definitely some) and more of a chocolate brownie thing. That said, it’s awesome. Smooooooth, sweet, and tasty. Easy to smoke all day or a perfect after dinner smoke to... Read More

forward.) ----- I purchased a bulk order, smokes super wet, not quite as smooth as the tin, but still really good. ------
The first couple of times I tried this I left it out for a while to dry and it was okay. It tasted good, but tended to burn hot and get goopy. I remembered another reviewer mentioning that they had packed it straight out of the tin, I was a little skeptical, but figured I'd give it a go. I am so glad I did! Much more flavorful, smooth, and creamy! The plumes of smoke were so thick and satisfying, there was no over heating and the bottom of the pack was somehow less goopy than when I had dried the tobacco a bit first. The tin note is a bit overpowering, however, if I have scraps left on my prep board it will smell like I lit a nice scented candle. The room note is heavenly, I have yet to find anyone that dislikes it. This is my new daily pack. If I do ever want a little more flavor, or want to cut the creaminess, I've taken to packing some of G.L. Pease's Stratford blend on top. Anywhere between a sprinkle and the top half depending on my mood. Read Less

Product: Cornell & Diehl Green River Vanilla Bulk
This tobacco is fantastic, I am new and did not have any problems with it. I love how the vanilla flavor is there without being too sweet. This is a fantastic balance of flavor and I will be ordering more of this as it is on my top 3 favorite list.
Sweet and Subtle
August 23, 2019
Product: Cornell & Diehl Green River Vanilla Bulk
This came quite wet in the bag (I’ve noticed this with other C&D cavendish blends) and it had a subtle sweet smell. The flavor is definitively vanilla and yummy after drying out the bag for quite a while.

Product: Cornell & Diehl Green River Vanilla Bulk
When i was young, one used to be able to walk into any drugstore and buy like a 10 oz drum of this stuff. Well, not this stuff. That stuff was black, wet and generally unappealing. Actually, it looks a lot like this stuff, but the differences beco... Read More
me clear when you light them up. I probably still have a can of that stuff from the mid 90s packed away somewhere.. I found it impossible to finish a bowl. The can, impossible to finish in much the same way. To be fair, straight cavendish has never been my jam really. That said, the C&D version is delicious to the end. I found myself shocked when i got to the end of the bowl. It starts out like any VBC but with a better flavour overall. The difference really, is how it finishes. Like any VBC, it's mild as it gets- steamy even, great aroma. Sweet. Won't burn the mouth. It helps to char the bowl and then leave it for a day, maybe even store it in a non airtight container. You could zap it (just a bowl worth) in the microwave a few seconds to dry it out.. It's best as dry as possible. Leave it to C&D to take the most ubiquitous american pipe staple and completely reinvent it. Better even than McClelland's. As a lover of all things vanilla, I bet I'll actually smoke the occasional bowl of this here and there. The "apricots & cream" version is also pretty great.. Read Less

Smells like vanilla pastry & tastes like burley
January 08, 2018
Product: Cornell & Diehl Green River Vanilla Bulk
This blend has a nice vanilla aroma that fills the room when smoked. I can definitely taste the Burley . The tobacco was too wet for my taste and I needed to re-light several times. However, it burns evenly.
