Cavendish Cut Burley

i Pride.
This is a fun little VaBur smoker , balancing sweet and nuttiness / breadiness well. While it’s a touch bland (similar to Yorktown which I recently sampled) you can tell it’s what the blender was striving for.
My gut tells me that age *might* make it better but I dunno.
You can make good burley pillowy clouds of smoke but do not push it - if so you end up tasting ash and hot air.
The official bio mentions a citrus element - I won’t say I got that but I will say there is a brightness in flavor that balances the sweet nicely and keeps everything in harmony.
I wrote “Prince Albert-ish?” In my notes and maybe so. Or Granger. Maybe Half and half. Point is it makes me think it rigjt at home to being comfortable in a big ass can on your Papa’s wood bench.
To that degree I think I surely has “all day” blend potential. In the balance of things I like it more than I don’t.
Needs something ? Probably not. I just need to get 8 oz and smoke it exclusively to get to appreciate it better most likely.
My rating : 3
This is the 54th of 101 blends I am reviewing for this project....Read More

Classic burley-forward blend. It burns a little fast, but not too hot even so. Sweet and sour, very nice room note. I can see this making a valuable blending base.
Good Blending Component

tion of it, but there might be present in other CD blends. If you are finding it a little bit too one way street, try mixing it with other blending components and see if you like it more that way. I personally love it, but I think you need to have a few bowls to be able to fully appreciate it....Read More
Not bad, but a bit confusing.

n't WOW me, but it was nice enough I'd smoke it again. If you're familiar with Lane Limited: Ready Rubbed, this blend is in the same ballpark. I've had many Cavendish blends (I like Captain Black OTCs for example) but there is little here that reminds me of Cavendish. In fact, isn't Cavendish a process and not a “cut”? So, the name alone is a bit confusing. No matter, they got the Burley right, which I think is the lighter, white Burley variety. It's nice and airy, not harsh enough to bite, but Burley enough to hint at cigarettes ever so slightly. Too much of that sort of room note turns me off in a big way, but this doesn't do that. It does contain bright Virginia, but other than a slight sweetness occasionally, the Burley is clearly running the show. The mechanics are fine, it easily packs and takes to flame readily. It burned away faster than I expected. Toward the bottom of the bowl I found I wanted to dump some ash (not the ember, just the pile of ash – Billiard smoked). It started to taste more like ash than tobacco the closer I got to finishing the bowl. For me, this is another (just) good tobacco that's just not what I'm looking for. Others may love it. There are a few Burley blends I've grown to like a lot: Morley's Best and Crooner are at the top of my Burley list. I even like the before mentioned Ready Rubbed, but Cavendish Cut Burley fell short of my higher expectations. Don't be afraid to try it and judge for yourself. I hope this helps....Read More
