Smoker's Pride Black Cavendish

This is another blend I decided to try based on the great reviews it has gotten here, and I was not disappointed. I've been smoking it about a year now. Sweet and cool smoking, at a great price. It comes way too moist for my taste, but it is incredibly hard to dry out by exposing it to the air. I have left it out overnight with little difference in moisture, yet it always burns consistently well. Go figure. Little to no tongue bite; if it is burley, I can't tell. Very little bitterness at the bottom of the bowl.

A very nice, basic black cavendish. Makes a good 50/50 mix with Carter Hall, also.

Tried this after getting a bad chemical taste from Captain Black. Found this to be a pleasing smoke with a nice sweetness. The wife finds the aroma to be of vanilla and encourages me to smoke in the house. Coming from cigarettes I don't get the nicotine kick from this I need. I found a blend of 4-1 with Prince Albert kicks it up a notch and counteracts some of the sweetness. Would recommend this to anyone looking for a satisfying sweet smoke.

Update after a few weeks. Towards the middle of the bag this tobacco was much too moist. Hard to keep lit and would get bitter towards the bottom of the bowl. Will have to dry it out a bit. Dropping 1 star as a result.

Very good, no nonsence, old fashioned black cavendish. If one were to put this in a tin with a fancy(somtimes silly, name), you who like black cavendish most proberly woud pay more. I say that because it is true bc, easy, smooth smoke, better than many other bc, this has no artifcial casing that I can detect. The price on this is so friendly that I must applaud Lane Limited. If you like plain bc, then by George, get some of this stuff, put it in a mason jar, smoke it like it is, or blend it. An easy smoke to sip, roll, inhale( YES MUST OF US DO INHALE A FEW TIMES DURING OUR SMOKE). Enjoy, bc fans. 3 stars

Not as strong as their vanilla cavendish in the vanilla department. The vanilla taste in this one is milder and easier to take. I think this one like the other is capable of ghosting a pipe so use your cobs. Overall not unpleasant to smoke. A bit too sticky and needs to be dried out for a few days before you smoke it. Very useful in mixing into other bland tobaccos to liven them up. Very sweet. Can bite you if you smoke it too fast.

I did not expect much from this blend. I had a forum buddy send me a very large bag of this and as always, I will try anything. Well, was I surprised! I liked this. It is not MacBarons Vanilla Creme nor is it Lanes BCA, but it is very tasty mild and smooth in it's own right. I could smoke this as an all day blend if money became short for me. it has a great vanilla sweet pouch aroma and it is a mixed of black with some brown thrown in. It is wet, so I dried some out before smoking it, but as it takes forever to dry, I did load the pipe with it still being too wet. But it packed easily and lit easily and it stayed lit well. It imparts a soft mild vanilla flavor with a burley base shining through. It was surprisingly mild for a cheap aromatic and the vanilla flavor was quite good and not chemical tasting. it smoked all the way down without relights and while it did leave moisture and dottle at the bottom of my pipe, I found I enjoyed it enough to reload another pipe and repeat. It was great with coffee. So to sum it up, this is one of the best of the cheap drugstore blend aromatics I have ever smoked. Will it be a regular of mine, no, but I would have no problem smoking it if tobacco gets scarce on us.

Ok, this was the first tobacco I tried back in college and it's the same one that got me back to pipe smoking. It's sweet, mellow, smells good, and well, cheap. I don't think I'd buy a lot of it because the preservatives kind of weird me out. But, if I was somewhere where this was all there was, I'd get it again. I would recommend it to a new smoker though.

All things considered this is a fine aromatic. It comes pretty moist sticky but Ive never had a problem with it gooping up the pipe too bad or gurgling. I like the taste and room note and it doesn't bite. Ive been pipe smoking for almost two years now and although Ive been smoking aromatics less and less when Im in the mood this does the trick. Plus its dirt cheap, nothing wrong with that.

Out of the bag it's a bit sticky and moist but actually takes a light and smokes very nice with NO bite. It has a rasin-like/vanilla smell in the bag and tastes about the same...the room note is fine and pleasant with a little more twang than others but still nothing offensive. It's a drugstore tobacco so of course it's going to be a little wet and goopy but I've had worse...A little time drying out might help. It won't kill your tongue or your wallet...you can't go wrong. If you Take it for what it is you will be impressed. It's a simple, mild, cool and satisfying smoke that is WAY better than the usual cheap stuff, although it is pretty one dimentional. It's nothing special, there is nothing about it that will jump out at you. It's very mild, maybe even too mild. But Most of all I was shocked how well it smoked and it has zero bite. Not bad at all. It just sucks that they sell such giant bags of this stuff or other buget brands, I won't smoke it regularly but I won't toss it in the can either...I'll have this bag for a long, long time...lol. If your limited to drugstore tobaccos or on a tight budget, this may be a good blend for you to have around or even for the first time pipe smoker.

Being relatively new to pipe smoking I have already discovered that more expensive tin brands are not what they are cracked up to be. This was the first tobacco I bought for my pipe due partially to the price and partially to the way it smelled in the bag. I hope I'm not alone on this but it reminded me of cheesecake as far as initial aroma in the pouch. The taste was mild and hinted at a sweet natural vanilla flavor without being too heavily cased. For the price this stuff is hard to beat, I would definately recommend it to beginning as well as more experienced smokers for a break in the norm (unless this is your norm in which case there's nothing wrong with that either).
