Smoker's Pride Black Cavendish

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

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.

Lovely!It really doesnt get much better than this for the price. The pouch arouma is smooth and sweet with notes of vanilla and sweet cream butter. The cut is consistant and easy to pack, but its a little damp out of the bag, so it will need to air out for a bit. It took the match well and stayed lit the whole way down. Upon lighting the aroma and taste might remind one of heavey cream, honey and bread pudding. This one has just the right amount of sweetness without masking the tobacco's natural flavour. This stuff blends well with pretty much anything but is just fine on its own. I could see this being an everyday smoke for some, although not myself. A must try for any budget pipe smoker and fan of aromatics

Not a bad thing to say about this tobacco! I was a bit nervous at first because the whiskey blend gave me aweful toungebite. This blend though, burns cool, smells good and tastes marvelous! It is a good all day smoked with a good vanilla flavour. Its a bit moist but doesn't seem too "goopy" to me. It could probably stand to be dried but I think it smokes very well as is. I tried to entice this blend to bite but it just wouldn't do it!

I can say this makes a good all day smoke, because its casing can compliment anything from my morning black coffee, to my evening bourbon and soda. If you are evn thinking about trying this blend, DO IT! You won't be sorry!

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.
