Savinelli Black Cavendish

As every day tobaccos, I always smoke aromatics. You could say I´m kind of a sweet- tooth and usually like very strong flavoring, but this is a bit too much. The package looks elegant with its magnificent Savinelli sandblast and the dark tobacco in the tin looks and smells fantastic, but... This tastes exactly like the worst aromatics with too much fruit, or whiskey or whatever they put in them and the tongue bite is instant. Drying up the tobacco helps, but the nasty sting doesn´t disappear entirely. Black Cavendish wasn´t altogether unpleasant experience, but because there´s so much better aromatics (also by Savinelli), I´ll give it only one star.

While I have never smoked anything under the Savinelli banner, I have had plenty of great experiences with smokes blended by Kohlhase & Kopp. This one fell short however. The open tin didn't have a specific flavor, just a gross sour, dank, artificial sweetener goin on. Maybe the attempt to cram 100 ingredients into one tin was the culprit?

While not sticky to the touch, the toppings took some work to ignite that eventually gave off an almost greasy smoke. To its credit, the smoke tasted much like the initial aroma - so not good.

The batch tended to mellow out several weeks after opening the tin, but by this point, I was just blending it with other tobaccos on hand, so I can safely say I wasn't into 'it' as a sole recommendation.

This is not only Black Cavendish, this is a flavored mixture and the right composition is Black Cavendish (three quarters), Virginia and Burley (a quarter). It is heavily cased with vanilla and chocolate but in my opinion the result is mediocre, and sometime disgusting. Low nicotine. The flavoring is with artificial essences and the taste is really ordinary. Not recommended. In my personal rating (from 1 to 10) my score is 4 and only a star.
