American Blends CV (Cherry & Vanilla) has been one of our best-selling flavoured pipe tobaccos in Chester for as long as I can remember. This blend is the exact same Vanilla flavour, minus the cherry. Somehow, the removal of the cherry reveals a lot of extra layers to the vanilla flavour, such as Bourbon and Caramel. The tobacco – a mix of Black Cavendish and Virginia – is pleasant enough, but it isn’t really the focal point here; as an American style mixture, the casing is the star of the show and you won’t taste the tobacco prominently.
