  1. Zach (verified owner) –

    A very nice, not overly sweet aromatic! The first thing you notice is a nice toasted marshmallow flavor that gives way to a perfectly applied vanilla topping. IMO this is one of the better vanilla blends out there. The marshmallow aspect really sets it apart from other vanilla blends.

  2. Tex Fitzpatrick –

    An unexpected but of typical CS excellence.

  3. tayman.smith1 (verified owner) –

    There aren’t a lot of reviews on Bill‘s blend but I figured it had to be special since not just anyone gets a blend named after them. So I got myself an ounce to try and I was pleasantly surprised. The description is spot on, a delicate, creamy vanilla that just hits the spot. There really is almost a toasted marshmallow finish that rolls off the tongue nicely and isn’t overly sweet. A wonderful blend to sit down and relax with. Well done Country Squire.

    I find this one rather boring at first and wasn’t very into it but after putting it in a jar for a few weeks and drying it out almost a week. The flavors started to show. Very subtle smooth vanilla makes for a incredibly mellow smoke that I can imagine would be perfect for beginners.

  5. GW Lee (verified owner) –

    Oh my goodness!!! This one is FANTASTIC!!!! Totally hits it out of the park!!! Really nice smoke, down to the bottom of the bowl. Fine ash at the end of the smole and no dottle common with blends from other locations/companies. Will definitely will be getting more of this after the first of the year.

  6. Nick (verified owner) –

    Just trying my first 2 ounce and I have to say This is definitely an all day smoke! – wonderfully balanced and easy to smoke – my wife even loves the smell in the room when it’s lit – between this and old toby I have my 2 go too blends for sure – thanks squire team

  7. Bill Horton –

    I dropped into the shop Saturday from Slidell and the shop recommended I try some. VERY tasty and I ended up getting some to take with. Very nice to relax by the pool! Thank you for having an awesome shop and a so many great in-house blends.

  8. Taylor S (verified owner) –

    I had to come back and write a 2nd review because this is just really wonderful stuff, and is easily my favorite smoke. This is the most flavorful yet gentle vanilla/toasted marshmallow blend I’ve ever had. A nice thick smoke that just rolls off the tongue and doesn’t bite at all. A very nice treat to just sit down and relax with. I’ve had it in a jar for 6 months now and it’s still a perfect moisture and is just as delicious as the day I bought it. I hope this blend sticks around for a while.

  9. BrookD (verified owner) –

    I thought i had my vanilla in sutliff’s vanilla custard, however, this blend goes toe to toe. Much less goopy than VC, burns much easier and cleaner, and the addition of the marshmallow notes is just fantastic. This blend is the most consistently burning I’ve ever experienced. No re-lights needed. You also get more of the natural tobacco flavor, however, it is just so united with the aromatic flavors/notes that it’s hard to tell where one ends and the other begins. I can’t recommend this enough.

  10. Christopher Blake (verified owner) –

    Love this blend. Tried it for the first time a few weeks ago, and I will never go without it. Smooth, sweet tasting smoke with no bite. Great room note. The perfect blend to sit back in your recliner with after work. I smoke my vanilla blends out of a Savinelli Miele and this is the best one I’ve tried. I just ordered some Old Toby to try and I expect it to be just as good. I will definitely be a lifelong customer of The Country Squire.

  11. David Arnold (verified owner) –

    This is an excellent aromatic and one of a few I could see being an all day smoke. The vanilla is favorable without being overwhelming. The marshmallow adds a nice creamy touch. The flavoring is subtle enough you can still tell there is some quality tobacco forming the base of the blend. Well done.

  12. Brian (verified owner) –

    Classical taste. More of a classical house blend aromatic that grandpa enjoyed. Wonderful room note and jam packed full of nostalgia. If you’re looking for a soupy vanilla this isn’t it. But if you want a classical smooth aromatic that’ll transport you to your youth… Bill is your man.

  13. D Sauls (verified owner) –

    A blend which one whom appreciates aromatics might consider keeping a steady stock of. This blend smokes cool, not too heavily-flavored but does provide harmony between the flavorings and tobaccos used. Room note is pleasant but the taste of the tobaccos used come through favorably. Not a syrupy blend. But also not one dimensional as manu burley-based blends can be.

    Flavor and room notes are accurately described in the the product description. Additionally, this product is only about $6 to try so I must ask;

    why are you still reading reviews?

  14. Elijah Raine (verified owner) –

    This is, without a doubt, the best vanilla tobacco I have ever had. Sweet marshmallow, ice cream taste on the intake. Subtle, with great toasted tobacco flavor. I have a hard time smoking anything else when I get out my pipe. Amazing.

  15. Andrew (verified owner) –

    I’m still relatively new to the pipe, but I find this blend to be so lovely. The aroma reminds me of an old family member who always had a pipe in hand when visiting. Thank you CS!

  16. Jean-Philippe (verified owner) –

    OMG! It’s a very good blend! Honnestly the best I’ve ever smoked! Great vanilla and marshmallow taste!

  17. Joseph Bohn (verified owner) –

    Fantastic aro. Been through many aromatics in my years of smoking, this blend is at the top of my list. Room notes consist of sweet cream along with the signature marshmallow note. This is one of those rare tobaccos where I can actually taste the flavors as well. Definitely making this a lifelong staple in my collection.

  18. tomgeorgearnold (verified owner) –

    Bills blend requires firstly homage to be paid to Bill Rutledge as without this incredible man whom I have never met we would never have this blend. so Thankyou Bill

    The tobacco it’s self smells exquisite from the jar. is perfectly packable and stays lit after a gentle tamp and true light. The vanilla is evident through out each puff and the toasted marshmallow flavour comes to the tongue on the exhale. my favourite tobacco blend I have EVER smoked and I seemingly have an every growing cellar. patiently waiting for international shipping to resume so I can buy myself 8oz or even a pound of this magnificence blend!
