Even when this baccy is much better than Troost Black Cavendish, it's still far from good. Similar in taste to Sail Yellow (just a bit sweeter), it tends to burn hotter with a stronger tongue bite.
Not the worst drugstore blend, but quite unremarkable.

I really like this tobacco. It reminds me of a good Navy Blend. It is quite tasty, dries out nice and burns very well. There is not much room note.
The major thing with this blend is the Nicotine content. I must smoke it very slowly and I cannot smoke two bowls of this stuff back to back. I did a couple times, and my head was spinning. I'm a light weight I guess. 🙂

I loved the pouch aroma as well as the cut, th looks like a very well made product. It packed well in the bowl and stayed lit the whole way through.But wow did it burn hot, i thought it was going to crack my briar! I couldnt detect any casing or topping, but when i smoke it a second time(slower)i began to like the blend, and i will buy it again.

I picked up a pouch at a tobacconist in Roermond, The Netherlands, when I was visiting the outlet center in that city with my significant other
Troost Special Cavendish is a classic Dutch Cavendish with a unobstrusive flavoring that can be smoked all day long if one's tongue is somewhat broken in and one keeps the puffing cadence down, otherwise it can bite a bit.
The flavor is pretty constant, not to say monochromatic. A simple, honest tobacco for the moments when one wants to smoke a pipe but has to focus his attention on something else.

Loving the old Troost Slices, I once smoked my way thru a five-pack of Special Cavendish.
Special is nothing special. It's a somewhat pleasant smoke that I wouldn't buy again. This one defines the word, mediocre.
If you're looking for a substitute for the legendary Troost Slices, this ain't it.

I really wanted to like this, but it's just a bit too tame for me - most of the time. I tend to like the flamethrowers out there, and I just don't get much taste out of this. It's okay, when I want something laid back, with a pleasant aroma to it. Nuff' said.
