Slightly moist but velvety smooth. This BC delivers all you could ask for in aroma and mild flavor

I'm not a black cavendish guy. Or at least I didn't think I was. But this stuff is great. Instead of Captain Black Dark, which makes me sick just smelling it in the pouch, and instead of stuliff's aromatic blends, which are overly greasy yet somehow taste little better than steam, this stuff smells good both in the bag and in your pipe and tastes much more complex than it should. I'm not saying it's my new favorite tobacco—i'll still reach for a Vaper or straight Va flake or some kind of unflavored burley blend nine times out of ten. But if I'm looking for something sweet, this is great stuff....Read More
Smooth, Cool, Mildly-Sweet Vanilla

As Black Cavendish (BC) goes, PS201 is among the better but still far from being a top choice. It's not a pure and natural form like Gawith and Hoggarth's DVC, which I consider the pinnacle of cavendish, but this has a place in mixtures and/or straight smoking of smooth, cool, fragrant BC. I'm currently searching for a BC to add at 30% to Low Country's Natural Virginia & Burley. Low Country's VA/BUR is quite strong (a bit too strong) in body and nicotine, but it lacks sweetness. Although it would certainly elevate the nuance, the addition of G&H's DVC wouldn't subdue it much, and so I need some 'gravy' so to speak, that will sweeten. smooth and lighten it up a bit. PS201 is a contender as it will meet those needs, but its vanilla note isn't what I want. I'm, jsut not big on vanilla. C&D makes a BC that fits the bill without any added flavor, but Sutliff's B21 Black Spice actually meets everything I want with an added cinnamon, nutmeg sweetness. I think among BC, PS21 has a moderate sweetness when compared to say Lane BCA, which has a vanilla/liqueur flavor, but that singular vanilla note of PS201 is something you really have to like and want. This would be excellent in recreating Frog Morton though. Nicotine is <1 outta 5, no bite no matter how hard you push it, good moisture....Read More

It's great black cavendish. Nothing special, just an excellent example of what BC should be. I use it mostly for blending.
Exactly what you'd expect...And that's a good thing

With a name as bold and daring as "Black Cavendish" there's exactly one thing I'd want this tobacco to taste like and it hits the nail on the head. Strong notes of vanilla, sweet but not cloying so, smokes surprisingly well with little bite on its own for something more intended as a component. Adds a nice taste and body to just about anything if you throw a little in....Read More
Way too sweet for my liking

If you are a person who likes to swallow a spoonful of syrups, be my guest smoke this blend. This gives off a taste that never changes while you smoke it, it is that much potent and sweet. Immediately after you open up a cellaring jar, you would be welcomed by overpowering sweetness of Black Cavendish.
It is one of my go to blend when I need breaking in estate pipes....Read More

I grabbed all the Straight Black Cavendish that the site offers in order to compare them. This is for sure one of the best pure/straight BC that I've ever had. Not too over powering with topping and smokes mellow and nice till the bottom. Not overly damp and had no issue with relight. If you know how to smoke an aromatic, then this will give you no problems either....Read More
