Black Cavendish

risingly and reasonably dry to the touch.
OK. I dreaded this one. I'm kind of gun shy as hell at this point when it comes to the aromatics and the black cavendish as a component - mainly because sometimes it's cool, and other times it's like taking a shot of Prestone antifreeze.
This is where I tell you that this experiment, or project, or whatever this endeavor has become , is valuable if to no one else but to me., Because there are learning moments.
It's not bad. I feared for no reason. It's actually , I guess, kind of lovely, if aromatic - or rather - not "seasoned" and "spiced" blends are your bag.
It was much better than I anticipated. It has a nice dry smoke - and then it starts to make connections in my mind, There are blends I have rated as high as a 5 that have black cavendish- nine of them to be exact - so I obviously can't hate it like I thought I did.
( The nine so far being : Sweet English, New Market, Old Joe Krantz Red, London Squire, Captain Bob's Blend, Cordial, Old Court, Engine 382 and Stratfordshire.)
But ALL five of the blends I have given a rating of 1 to - Belmont Station, Dark Cherry Cavendish, Berry Good, Black Cherry and Apricots and Cream ( so damn gross ) - all five also have black cavendish - and it was the componet I blamed in most cases - so what gives?
I think I have a guess - Green River Vanilla. I may be off, but I think it is a component in the ones I don't like. And as I rated GRV itself as a 2, there is some kind of alchemy of blending it with the other fruit toppings that puts me off. Thats my current working theory.
Anyway - back to this bag - I only smoked 2 bowls. Thats all I needed to determine 1) I was wrong maybe - that Black Cavendish on its own right is OK and 2) It's just not really my thing. There are hints - the tiniest and smallest mental trickery of hints of an almost Oreo like vanilla and chocolate essence there - but it a sugar free diet one as the matching sweetness is not present.
It is not bad. It is not offensive. It is, however, as boring as watching ants walk by on the sidewalk.
I see zero reason for me to cellar this blending tobacco. If I need some for a blend idea, I'll order some. Otherwise I don't think I'll ever smoke another bowl of it solo.
My Rating: 2

The more of this I smoke the better it gets. Will make room for it when I order my next tin of Granger.

tin note. Taste is mild to medium and mostly consistent, with notes of wood, mildly sweet, earth, nuts, dry vegetation, sporadic hints of cocoa, bitter, mild tartness, cooked brown sugar, a toasty background note, and a smooth retro. Room note is pleasant to tolerable, and aftertaste is great....Read More
