Flavours Bella Vanilla

Slight vanilla taste. Easy draw, good burn.

Mostly coming across like pipe tobacco, there's a super strong initial hit of vanilla that falls off pretty early. The rest stays true to simple pipe tobacco in flavor. Simple quick smoke to fill in a time gap.

Trying something new with this one. The initial smell and notes play more like pipe tabaco than cigar. Super mild and easy going. Ov this cigar is going to be primarily vanilla but I did get notes of black tea in the 1/3. The 2/3 was more of the same. The ash help impressively long. I had to tap it off but one I did it began to canoe and I couldn’t bring it back. The last third was so un-enjoyable between constantly fixing it and the artificial taste that I stoped early. Not worth it in my opinion

Nice vanilla flavor in the beginning but dissipates fast, decent, if uneven burn, but drew well. Nice 20 minute smoke.

This is the second of these I've had, and in no way did it come close to being as good as the first one. The first had very distinct vanilla notes with peach undertones. Didn't want it to end. This one was just the opposite. The draw was extremely tight. Three different attempts with a draw tool made VERY little discernible difference. The flavor was only the slightest hint of vanilla; no peach notes with this one. The draw was such a problem that -together with the lack of taste - I felt it basically wasn't worthwhile spending my relaxation time on. Have 3 more left from a fiver. Will see how those go before deciding not to buy this stick again. Rested in humi since January.

Have tried most of the CAO Flavors line and, up til now, found them all somewhat disappointing. However, must say the Bella Vanilla makes up for the rest of the bunch. Simply put, if you like Vanilla accompanied by an "undertone" of peach, you won't be disappointed with this baby because that's just what you get from foot to nub...no disappointments here at all !! 'Nuff said.

Absolutely horrendous. Unpalatable & completely repugnant. Probably would pair well with some sewer water. Throw away ASAP if in humidor!

I really enjoyed the taste It bond smooth will try again.
