Smoker's Pride Black Cavendish

This is a good and inexpensive smoke. It has become my go-to daily smoke. Generates great clouds of smoke. It will bite if you work at. I find it a little too damp when first opened, making it hard to keep lit and generating some gurgle. Given a few hours exposure to the air, and it improves all the way around. Good flavor, and the room note is very nice--wife has approved it. Getting to the end of the first 12 oz bag, but have another one ready to go.

Having smoked a pipe for more than three decades, I've tried many tobaccos. This has been my exclusive favorite for over ten years. I still try new tobaccos of various cuts and composition, but fail to find any better. I have had ladies standing next to me at a street corner make favorable comments about the aroma, and it does not leave an unplesant odor inside. I smoke a 12 ounce package per week, and find that with the moist heel, it benefits by putting it in an uncovered container. The tobacco is best smoked in a filtered pipe. One of the major pleasures of this tobacco is the ability to smoke it outside in windy conditions, and still not get a burned tongue or mouth. The absence of bite, highly acceptable aroma, consistent taste, and excellent value-for-price make this a very much above choice. Strongest recommendation.

Mild. Smoooth.This black Cavandish is a great value, and great smoke.! I have smoked velvet, $32 for 12 oz can....but the pricing is getting much too high. Smokers pride black Cavandish is about $20 for 12 Oz. A much better value and a great smoke although very mild, but everyone enjoys the smell, and I enjoy the taste even though it is so mild.

This is a great blending tobacco and also a cool and tasty smoke by itself. It has the same taste as Lane BCA but is a rougher cut and a LOT cheaper! Most bags offer a very moist tobacco which needs a relight several times per bowl. Blend it down with other tobacco's and this issue goes away.

I like the McClelland Easy Street walnut flavor but it is usually a strong taste smoked by itself. Mix 3 (SPBC) to 1 (Easy Street) and the BC picks up the walnut taste, smooths it out, and has a nice moisture level, great taste, and a really nice room note.

The same with McCleland UPCA Maple Supreme. a 3 to 1 mixture, great smooth smoke with a very pleasant room note.

I bought this for a cheaper alternative to Lane's BCA. The tobacco is close to Captain Black Dark, Tinder Box Captain spice and it was close to Lane's BCA.I was very happy with my 12 oz bag purchase.I would buy this again very happy!

I thoroughly enjoy this blend from the first puff to the last. Very nice tin (bag) note and incredible room note. My wife hates tobacco smell and actually said she liked the smell of this and sat outside with me as I smoked it! Can burn hot if smoked quickly and at times leaves a wetter residue in the bottom of the bowl, but I wouldn't pass on this based on that since they do not frequent every smoking occasion. Extremely affordable ($2.99) and is cheaper at my local shop than online. If you buy it in bulk you get a steal of a deal on it.

I have everything from Frog Morton (3 different blends) to Mississippi River to G.L. Pease Gaslight on hand and i still love smoking the Smokers Pride Black Cavendish as well! I always make sure that I have some on hand because I enjoy it that much. I urge you to try it before judging it and at $3 for a 1.25 ounce bag, you can't go wrong. I would love to read some more reviews on it so please review when you try. Enjoy and happy puffing 🙂

my ideal is smooth, relaxing and nicely aromatic, something that this tobacco covers very well. this is the type of tobacco that is nice to have at the end of a day of hard work with a glass of whiskey. relax and ease into the evening. it also keeps well, i have been smoking the same 12 oz bag for about a year and a half, and is also decent as hand rolled cigarette adds to its value. this is my favorite pipe tobacco. That being said i have only had occasion to sample four different types.

The buck stops here. In my humble opinion this is the standard by which all other tobacco is to be judged. It packs well, it lights well, it stays lit with little effort. Those are the mechanics of it. The flavor is sweet and mild and it will not bite you. Have I left anything out? Oh yes, the price is just right.

I agree with most of the positive things said about this blend.I will sometimes smoke this straight up---although it is way to mild. Still it is a very nice smoke.It really shines as a cheap way to fix and smooth out a harsh ,or bland mix.Any blend that needs just a little sweet or a little smooth,can usually be helped out with a touch of Black Cavendish,IMO.For an OTC bag tobacco I think it is pretty solid.But if you smoke it straight remember---slow puffs-try to keep the bowl cool- bring a pipe cleaner or two-and don't expect a flavor explosion---it's just a mild black Cavendish and nothing wrong with that.
