Go-to Black Cavendish

This is a solid black Cavendish. Smooth and on the mild side without a heavy topping distracting from the mellow taste. Zero tongue bite. Stays lit easily. It can be an all day smoke
Love this stuff

Good, dependable cavendish! My only question; why don't more people recommend this as a beginner's tobacco? No tongue bite, plenty of smoke, tolerant of how it's packed... sure, it doesn't have a big flavor, or knock your socks off notes, but it is a good go to while you explore English and aromatic blends. JMHO...Read More

Great conversation tobacco if you smoke it moist it's nice and smoky puts out a great aroma use a big pipe cuz you're going to really enjoy puffing on this. Once you get it going it stays lit for quite a while just a puff here and there
Not what it was

I'm amending my review:

I found one more method to dry it. I put it in the microwave for ten seconds. It needed two rounds in there to dry to a good level, but was still quite sticky. It smoked for a solid 30 minutes, so that was nice with a morning coffee.

The flavour was still lack
ing, however. There was a hint of the old flavour I love but otherwise it was quite bland. It's smokable now, but not something I'll buy again.

------------------------------------------------

Original review: I bought this a couple years ago. It was a great stand-in for Brigham's Black Cavendish. The taste, texture, etc was just about the exact same.

I bought some recently, though and it's not what it was. It smells different, it's sticky, and incredibly moist. I've been trying to dry it for weeks, but having no success. When I can get it to light it doesn't stay lit. There's barely any flavor when I draw a bit of smoke.
All around unpleasant and effectively unsmokable.
I'll not be getting it again. The hunt for a good Brigham substitute continues.

Jar note of Vanilla, brown sugar, and spices. Tobacco is black course cut and a bit wet and sticky. Drying is needed as well as rubbing out larger pieces. Burns slow with a few extra relights. The strength is mild and nic is mild. Flavoring is mild to medium, with notes of vanilla, that disappears around the halfway point. Taste is mild and consistent, with notes of brown sugar, bitter wood, toasted bread, dry earth, mild spice, a sweet nutty background note, and a smooth retro. Room note is pleasant, and aftertaste is good....Read More

No bells, No whistles, No excuses. This is straight up Black Cav and not ashamed to be exactly that. Don't pretend to be a corvette, this is a nice laid back stroll. Not overly sweet, nor goopy. Good stuff.

One the smoothest and mellowest smokes possible. A great all-day blend on its own, but also a wonderful additive for blending.
Sweet stand alone bc.

I like this tobacco a lot. It is my base smoke and though I try others from time to time I always come back to it. The cherry is not overwhelming but definitely there. If this is the only thing you smoke in your pipe the flavor will build
Very sweet

This BC is very sweet, smooth, soft and ligth. Cold smell like red fruit. Ideal for anyday.
