Smoker's Pride Black Cavendish

∆ A pleasant smoking tobacco, with an excellent price point ∆

Upon opening this 12oz bag, strong notes of english prune, vanilla, and chocolate fudge emerge. Such scents are pleasing to the nose, and smells rather edible. The tobacco flakes are quite moist, and consistently black in colour. I loaded my new, long-stemmed pipe with this mix, and packed it down with one firm push of the thumb. The first lighting gave me a surge of cool, simple, and tasty plumes. After six Sea Dog matches were spent, the pipe remained lit for the rest of the session. I am in agreement with others that a gentle drying is required. All of the said scent profile is dialed back and combined into a medium taste. Ciao.

This stuff is great! There is no negatives in my opinion, cheap, tasty and did i say cheap? I found this at a small smoke shop near my house for a whopping 8 bucks for a 12oz bag! At that price and the reviews i found on this site i couldn't turn it down. It has i nice full bodied taste with absolutely no bite, smell good, just a great smoke anytime of the day. I think this may be my favorite just for the fact that its good and very cheap.

Im new to smoking pipe tobacco. So far ive tried 2 brands. Criss Cross and Smokers Pride. Between them Ive tried 6 different blends. So far this blend is my absolute favorite. It burns slow, very aromatic compared to the other 3 aromatic blends ive tried with Smokers Pride. I can smell the chocolate in the air. When i first opened the pouch it litterally smelled like chocolate cake. And the aroma, aww man, i cant get enough of it. The texture is moist and it looks like black dirt but its my favorite right now 🙂

This is the best of the Smokers Pride lineup . It looks and feels moist but it burns fine , smooth and cool . If youve never smoked a black Cavendish OTC , you'll probably need to relight cause youre not used to this type blend . You couldn't get this to bite if you tried . It has the typical vanilla/carmel [ ? ] type Black Cavendish flavor that isn't way overdone and it does get better if ya leave the bag open for a few days right after you pop it . There are a few Black cavendishes I like better but not many . The roomnote is very good too ! If you like black Cavendish , it's a must try and it will give you a reason to stop by whatever place carries it around your town , as it is quite big in the market , you can probably find it locally . It is , from what I can tell the same as the new Captain Black dark , though the flavoring is a touch different , it's basically the some stuff

One of the best Black Cavendish I have tried at any price, a plus that it is so cheap. Mild, No Bite and Burns well, Highly Recommended.

I ordered this tobacco on the recommendations found here. I did not expect much at all since a 1 pound bag of this was less than $13 (US). I received it today and I am one happy smoker. The odor in the bag was nice but the tobacco looked really wet. It only appeared that way, lit up well with no drying. It stays lit quite well but you must keep dumping your ash otherwise it burns down to the bottom of the bowl with no relights. I truly enjoyed this blend, no chemical taste or the like just wonderful smoking. Its a bit harsh right near the bottom of the bowl when inhaled but no tongue bite even with big pulls on the pipe. I highly recommend this for novice smokers especially if you are switching from cigarettes to pipes and wish to inhale a bit. A very good value!

Added Note: I have been smoking this now for a while, I use it to blend with other tobaccos and also to mix with other pricier black cavendish tobaccos to extend my money a bit. The taste is mild enough not to overpower and the price is good enough to make it a guilt free everyday smoke. A real bargain, a must try for sure!

Excellent black cav, good tobacco flavor, lights and smokes well after some dry time. Put some in a non-plastic bowl and leave on the counter for a few hours. Easily the best of the SP line, black cav done right.

For the price, 4 stars.

Bought a 12 oz bag smoked some today very pleasant vanilla/ toasted marshmallow taste. I enjoyed this black cavendish and would recommend this well balanced aromatic. Also it was not sticky or goopy.

This black cavendish is decent. I enjoy black cavendish and this one was a surprise considering the price. I expected a goopy, overly flavored blend. This was at a good moisture level straight from the pouch. The vanilla flavor is there but is not overpowering. A new pipester could get a good intro to this hobby with this blend.

11/06/2021 I have smoked a lot of this lately. It has become my go to blend. The price can not be beat, and this is a pleasant, non-troublesome smoke. Upgrade to 4 stars.
