Of course it's not on the same league as some of the finest pipe tobaccos out there but I'm smoking this on a daily basis and loving it for the cost-benefit this one has to offer. As for the smoke itself, it can bite sometimes if you're not careful. Also the taste is very mild and the wife rating is pretty good with no complaints so far from the family and girlfriend. It's very effective if you want to sit back and relax after a stressful day at work or watever.

For what it's worth, I recommend Irlandez Black for all the Brazilian folks out there for it's price and overall quality. Also, it's good to note that this is not an actual cavendish processed tobacco whatsoever.

I find out that Cavendish is a good kind of tobacco processing and I think that I should give it a try with Irlandez. Ok, I shouldn't have done that. Mainly because Irlandez Cavendish it is NOT a Cavendish processed tobacco.

Despite that, Irlandez Cavendish doesn't tastes so bad. It have a full heavy taste, but sweet. The smoke is ok, too. Serves well to fit an everyday smoke because it's way cheaper than the imported ones.

I saw the very different pack of Irlandez, and the "Cavendish" classification just down the brand. As I listened and red the older pipe smokers talking about cavendish tobacco, I got it to have some impression. Just love it. A different aroma and flavor mesmerized me, the nicotine injection was ok, and was what I was looking: a different tobacco.

Now, some years of smoking experiences, I know that is not a really cavendish, in fact it's a plum aromatic blend, that could be perfect if smoked in a small pipe and very slowly.
