I'm not usually a big fan of aros, but this is one I can get behind. The bag smells like vanilla, honey, and fruit. Enticing. Moisture content is fine, but if you let it dry for 10 minutes, it's that much better. Lights and burns easily. No tongue bite. Flavor stays pleasant and keeps me interested down to the end. I only get moisture build up when I smoke it out of a bent pipe, but even then, it is minimal. Room note is great. My wife says it reminds her of her grandfather's house, so that's a big plus. I give it a solid 3.3, the highest I've ever given an aro.

Very solid cavendish. Just sweet enough, just tobacco-y enough. No bite. Burns good. Great to puff on all day. Everything about it is mellow and unobtrusive.

First off, I love Russ's blends. The man is a master at developing new and interesting tobacco's, Cavendish in the woods is no exception. I have always had a soft spot for vanilla Cavendish. It isn't my daily or even weekly smoke but I do enjoy it more than any other aromatic out there. This one is more complex, with dried fruit and even a touch of honey or brown sugar to it. It can be a bit wet, I usually fill up a country gentleman at night and let it sit until the following day before smoking but it is worth the wait. Puff this too fast and it can go bitter, but you really have to try to get it there, I'm a fast puffer and I rarely have a problem. I picked up 8 oz of this one, I like to keep it around for when I get that sweet tooth!
