Cellared for 5 years
January 21, 2020
Product: Dan Tobacco Sweet Vanilla Honeydew 50g
After 5 years, I opened up the tub it has been stored in, and the aroma is delightful. It was somewhat dry, so I placed some fresh thin sliced apple peel with a bit of apple flesh, and sealed it again for 2 weeks. Now it is perfectly moist but not at... Read More
all a wet smoke. One of my all time favorite aromatics. Read Less
Sweet and Mild
April 09, 2020
Product: Dan Tobacco Sweet Vanilla Honeydew 50g
I'm not an aromatic fan, but DTM makes some of the better aros in the European style of aromatics, which is less applied flavor with greater focus on leaf nuance. Fresh, the invert sugar adds considerably more sweetness to compliment the grassy and ... Read More
slightly woody VA, but this will eventually evaporate and result in less sweetness. The vanilla is barley present, but still offers a bit of vanilla bean here and there. I get more tobacco flavor from this vanilla topped blend than the horribly comprised concoctions of Sutliff. Contrary to some, this has never bit me. It's mild in nicotine at 1 out of 5. Read Less
Cellar it!

Product: Dan Tobacco Sweet Vanilla Honeydew 500g
As others have said, this blend will bite you if you smoke it straight out of the tin. I cellared a tin for five years and was blown away by how tasty it had become. The VA's became sweeter, burned cooler, and the vanilla case-note mellowed out an... Read More
d was not as cloying, but still ever present.
(I know cellaring aromatics goes against conventional wisdom. However, this is a straight VA leaf that's cased.) Read Less

This is a tasty tobacco with a nice aroma but it bites like a rabid dog and scorches your mouth !
Its a shame because it is tasty.
Well... Hmmm...

I really was hoping for more on this one. The vanilla is light as is the honey. It's very soft and mild, I was hoping for more of the vanilla and honey punch. It's not bad, and I'll gladly smoke the rest of what I ordered, but this will not be when I... Read More

Initially just meh...*Update* Started to grow on me, now I love it!

Product: Dan Tobacco Sweet Vanilla Honeydew 50g
It’s good quality Virginia tobacco with a bit of vanilla, not much though. I didn’t get the burning everyone talked about, smoked cool, stayed lit, and wasn’t overly moist in the tin. If your looking for big vanilla flavor though, this isn’t what yo... Read More
u’re looking for. Wouldn’t throw it out, will definitely smoke it all, but if I’m looking for a vanilla tobacco, I wouldn’t buy this again.
*Update*
I guess maybe my expectations changed, and when I smoke it now I’m starting to really enjoy it more and more every time! I’ll definitely buy this again when I run out, it’s now my go to vanilla tobacco. Raised the score from 3 up to a 4. Read Less

Light Airy Delight

One of my favorite mixtures to blend with C&D White Burley. On its own its own I find it rather airy but mixed with white burly it is quite delightful.

What a great blend but I know if I Cellar this it will explode with flavor in some years to come.

Bajo mi criterio es un tabaco de mucha calidad pero el salseado que lleva es muy malo y hace que te Arda la boca.Es mi opinión Lo he fumado en mazorca y en brezo y te da igual
I get more honey than vanilla
October 25, 2018
Product: Dan Tobacco Sweet Vanilla Honeydew 50g
Nice aromatic, with an incredible room note. It got me time to get used to it and avoid the biting, but now I can say that I enjoy it. Anyway, it seems to me that I get more of the honey taste than the vanilla .
One of the BEST Vanilla Aromatics
September 16, 2018
Product: Dan Tobacco Sweet Vanilla Honeydew 50g
This is a great vanilla blend. The tin aroma smell like real vanilla. And the flavor transfers through to the smoke. The vanilla flavor stayed through to the end. Don't push this blend though, because it will bite and lose its flavor when too hot. Sl... Read More

Many better aromatics

Product: Dan Tobacco Sweet Vanilla Honeydew 500g
I am mainly a smoker of aromatics. Not matter what I try with this I cannot enjoy it. Vanilla? Where? Honeydew? Where? All I taste is burning. I try and smoke it slow but this just torches my mouth. The tobacco is high quality but the experience is n... Read More
ot. Room note is the peasant but the mouth feel is thin and tasteless. Like smoking hot air. Got a lot of gurgling and a sour taste at the end and I still have a third of the bowl left. Even when I try and back off and let it cool down a bit the bowl of my pipe remains hot to the touch. Read Less
High quality vanilla VA
March 08, 2017
Product: Dan Tobacco Sweet Vanilla Honeydew 500g
This is my favorite aromatic for long term cellaring. People always say not to bother cellaring aromatics but I have a 12 year old tin that I tried when new and it was nice but I mason jarred the rest and forgot about it. I recently reopened it to ... Read More
discover the natural virginia sweetness shining through and the vanilla & honey flavor subdued but very pleasant. If you like heavy aromatics this won't be for you but if you are looking for a light aromatic that still lets the tobacco flavor come through check this one out. Like most VA blends it can bite if rushed so take it slow and easy. Read Less
First try
November 08, 2016
Product: Dan Tobacco Sweet Vanilla Honeydew 50g
Was expecting more Vanilla. Tough to keep lit. Beautiful once I got it going. Very easy pleasant smoke. Loved the first bowl. Can't wait to have another. A bit of gurgling towards the end.
Crowd pleaser.

Nice blend, not to sweet and the vanilla is light. The virginia is present. The room note is a crowd pleaser.
Worth a try

Generally do not smoke aromatics, but I'm not against them either.
This one, it's worth a try. The room note is simply enchanting. Folks will flock to the aroma.
For the smoker, there is still a hint of real tobacco back there, and some nicotine f... Read More
or you. It does tend to be dry in the tin and it does tend to burn hot so you'll need to slow down a bit. It's light and clean, burns to a nice ash. Surprisingly for as sweet as it is, it doesn't leave much of a ghost.
I don't smoke it often, but when I do I thoroughly enjoy it. Sometimes on a warm summer evening with a glass of sweet tea, this is just the ticket. Also, when pleasing those around you is of import, it's a rabbit in the hat, even the most adamant anti-smoker will be drawn to the scent. Read Less
My 2nd favorite

Product: Dan Tobacco Sweet Vanilla Honeydew 50g
This is my second favorite aromatic. Well, I only smoke two aromatic tobaccos so I guess that's a compliment worth having. My wife always compliments the room note when I smoke this one. Vanilla over a sweet, almost melon like flavor; the name doesn'... Read More

sweet cool smoke

Product: Dan Tobacco Sweet Vanilla Honeydew 50g
Not an everyday smoke but it is one I cherish when I smoke a bowl of it, usually when the pipes have been freshened and cleaned up so you get the full bang for your buck so to say!
