Vauen Pipe Tobacco English Blend No. 22 50g Tin

Vauen English Blend No. 22 50g Tin is the perfect choice for anyone who loves the classic English character – but doesn’t want to miss out on a pleasant sweetness and a pleasant room scent. Here, VAUEN combines spicy Latakia with mild Black Cavendish, complemented by a pinch of Burley and golden Virginia leaf. The blend is rounded off with a slightly sweet bourbon vanilla aroma. This makes No. 22 an ‘accessible English’ blend: smoky and spicy with a strong tobacco character, yet at the same time smooth, creamy and surprisingly uncomplicated. In practice, this is a tobacco that appeals to newcomers to the world of English blends whilst also offering experienced pipe smokers a relaxed, reliable blend for everyday enjoyment.

English meets vanilla: smoky, creamy, elegant

The character arises from the interplay of the tobaccos: Latakia brings the typical woody, smoky note and provides depth, whilst Black Cavendish noticeably rounds off the smoke and carries the sweetness. Golden Virginia provides a light, natural underlying sweetness and a slightly toasty undertone, whilst Burley contributes body and a subtle nuttiness. Over this lies the bourbon vanilla topping: not ‘cakey’, but rather fresh, light and delicately balanced – roughly on a par with the smokiness, so that nothing dominates. It is precisely this balance that makes the blend so pleasant: it is aromatic without tasting artificial, and remains consistent right through to the end of the pipe. Thanks to the mix of different cut sizes, it lights reliably and burns very evenly – a real plus if you’re looking for an English-style tobacco that doesn’t constantly demand your attention.
