Candido Giovanella Baunilha Vanilla

Cândido Giovanella is a pipe tobacco line produced by Imigrantes Indústria e Comércio de Fumos, operating in Brazil's Paraná state, and has long been available domestically. The backbone of the line is built on sun-dried Virginia leaf grown in Brazil, along with Burley and black Cavendish; the leaves are ribbon cut and usually presented in 45-50 gram resealable packs. Baunilha is the vanilla-flavored version of this base.

In the smoke, vanilla's creamy sweetness leads, while the tobacco's own bready, lightly earthy taste stays in the background. Nicotine load is moderate, the smoke is cool, and thanks to the even cut it lights and stays lit without trouble. It's a suitable entry for those new to aromatic blends and those looking for a light, sweet smoke during the day.
