This and the Oliva Serie V and my two favorites. The vandella is pipe tobacco forward with sweet hints of vanilla and a mild leaf tobacco. It never disappoints! Great first thing in the morning with the morning paper, a Serie V later that day, and another of one or the other depending on what mood I am in.. Treat yourself and try a box of 55 to start. I bought a second box of 20 on 10/18/23. Already smoked two, sitting in the garage listening to Asleep at the Wheel and was very happy. What a way to start the day!
