Dukhan Vanilla opens with whole tobacco leaf and warm spice: earthy, sweet and richly aromatic, closer to a pipe-tobacco tin than to smoke.

Vanilla, tonka and cacao soon soften it into something thick and creamy. Tobacco blossom keeps a floral warmth in the background, and a hint of bitter cocoa stops the sweetness running away.

The base brings dried fruits and woods, a raisin-like richness. The dry-down turns soft, slightly powdery and steady.

A cold-weather favourite for evenings by the fire, winter nights out and anyone who loves sweet tobacco.
