Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Vanilla Diorama
Vanilla Diorama is a sophisticated, boozy vanilla that splits opinion. Some herald it a masterpiece of warmth and comfort, while others find its spice and rum notes too overwhelming, even bordering on offensive. Definitely not a safe blind buy.

Our Verdict - Sundowner
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it. Some reckon it's a masterpiece of dry tobacco, while others can't stand the opening or find it too challenging. Definitely not a blind buy.
