I used to smoke the original Douwe Egbert's. The remakes are not good at all. This particular blend didn't exist back then, but thought I'd give it a try.
It's very mild and quite tasty! Just ordered another pouch. Even mixed well with a bit of Latakia as an alternative. No bite at all.
good to go.

to show up in the first 1/3 and remain in the background. Taste is medium and moderately consistent, with notes of cocoa, peaty herbal vegetation, tangy dark fruit, vanilla, wood, dry earth, sweet grass, citrus, spice, floral, toast, molasses, orange peel, acidic, a spicy licorice and nutty background note, and a peppery retro. The double fermented Virginias are leading with Burley, Kentucky, Oriental/Turkish and Flavoring supporting. Room note is pleasant, and aftertaste is good....Read More

This is a mild cavendish with a pleasant room note and some mild, fruity flavors. Smokes well and is not too wet. Solid smoke for the price and brand.
Great choice!

Definitely a smooth black cavindish with some fruity sweet notes to it. I'd buy more.

to the quality of the Amphora line. If you don't particularly enjoy Cavendish, spend your money on another pouch of your favourite Amphora blend. If you dig the black stuff, give this a try....Read More

A not-so "Special Reserve".

lack Cavendish most of the time. As for it being “double-fermented”, it made no discernible difference to me. This has a similar problem I see with a lot of aromatics and that is it's unbalanced and Black Cavendish heavy. I like many BC blends and aromatics in general, but just adding a ton of BC to a small percentage VA/Burley base is not a recipe for a good aromatic. I'd rather have a really good VA/Burley blend making up a large portion of the mixture with just a sprinkling of Black Cavendish to help punch up the already present natural sweetness of the VA and smooth out the Burley bite. Otherwise, just smoke blending Black Cavendish straight, right? The only Burley I tasted here was unpleasant and bitter. I didn't detect any artificial flavors, but there was definitely something chemical tasting that I felt in the back of my throat. It's called a “Special Reserve”? Words mean something, and anything mass produced is nothing special. It's like Red Delicious apples...what a great ad campaign to name the most bitter skinned apple “delicious”. Some aromatics also lose their aroma quickly and then taste like nothing really; just bland, which was ultimately why this didn't work for me. If you want to try this, I'd suggest a little drying time to help get it lit, but I doubt aging would help....Read More

e for lovers of Black Cavendish. No bite, easy to pack and while a little finicky getting lit, smokes great. The flavor of the dark fired Kentucky is great and the Virginias and Burley do just what they claim. A touch sweeter and a little fruity. I didn't notice the fruit tones until the bowl had burnt down some but they were there. I love this stuff and have already ordered more. Enjoy!...Read More
