Pipe Dream

Pipe Dream is Abenaki Tobacco's vanilla-direction aromatic. Per the maker's recipe, high-grade American Burley, golden Cavendish, and Virginia are brought together; the flavoring is given via vanilla extract. The leaf is presented in a fine, thread-like cut.

The fine cut allows quick lighting and easy burning; on the other hand, the pipe needs to be packed loosely. The Burley-Virginia pairing sets a balanced base beneath the flavoring — neither too sweet nor too flat. It's aimed at smokers looking for the classic vanilla aromatic line. Abenaki Tobacco was based in Conway, New Hampshire; the brand's own sales site isn't live today.
