McClelland Vanilla Black Cavendish

If I only had VBC to smoke it would be allright with me. This Tobacco burns well, has good flavor and good tobacco quality. This is much better than BCA. This is very close to Midnight by Tinderbox with Midnight having a better smooth Cavendish Tobacco flavor. The price is good for the quality at paylesspipes.com.

Three stars and maybe four.

After 45+ years of smoking a pipe, I have finally found the aromatic I have been looking for. It burns white ash to the bottom of the bowl, and the taste is constant from the beginning to the end. The taste to me is like Butterscotch and Vanilla, a truly pleasant mixture.

Appearance= Solid Black.

Bag Aroma= German Chocolate Cake with Vanilla Icing.

Texture= Moist German Chocolate Cake.

Room Aroma= My wife liked it.

Taste= Deep Vanilla most of the way down. Minty vanilla thru nostrils.

Verdict= Vanilla Connoisseurs; this is it!

This is my second favorite tobacco in the pouch aroma is excellent, a very intense vanilla; the ignition temperature is not too hot what helps you watch your tongue and the taste of vanilla feels and perceives the time smoking what in my particular case I love being non smoker doesn't interest me much the taste of tobacco and nicotine hit and rather perfumer and Wolverine what attracted me to this art of smoking pipe is more the subject of the smells and the tastes and this blend of supplements my expectations since the aroma in the room is very nice leaving it until the next smoke-scented. This will be a tobacco that is always in my rotation of tobacco still waiting for my other three favorite blends.

A great Cavendish. For those complaining of "sour" or "off" tastes, you need to start blending. I rarely smoke pure Cavendish, though there are some who do regularly. To be honest, the difference between most of the common bulk vanilla Cavendish tobaccos is marginal. This one does have a leg up over the others, in my opinion. My favorite use is blending it 1 to 3 with Lane 1Q. A excellent bargain aromatic, can't beat it for the price.

What a great tobacco!! I bought 8 ounces of this and have been smoking it in a missouri meerschaum General. I didn't want to flavor up my briar's but the cob works great for this baccy. This doesn't have much of a nicotine kick but it smokes smooth and cool with no bite and I love the vanilla butterscotch flavor. Definitely and all day smoke with no complaining from bystanders about the room note...I need to order some more as the 8 ounces is going fast. Did I mention that this stuff takes a light and stays lit for the bowl...amazing for a McClellan's product.

I bought a sample of this tobacco and let me say, I am going to buy a pound. This blend smells so good in the pouch, I mean REALLY good. I expected a very hard/harsh smoke because of the great smell, I was pleasantly surprised by mild smoke. The flavors of this tobacco are not nearly as strong as you would think by the odor of the unsmoked tobacco. I have smoked it in a cob, with a filter, without a filter and in my briars, this is good stuff. I would PREFER a bit more sweetness but think I can add a touch of something to fix it up for my tastes. I plan on carrying this tobacco with me wherever I go, there is no way a non smoker is gonna complain when they smell this tobacco in the pouch. Keep away from children, it really smells good enough to eat! Really recommend this blend to fellow novice pipe smokers, very good stuff!

As a man who loves pipe smoking, from fancy to simple, aromatics are in a class of itself. This is one of only a very few VBC,s that just delights its self all alone in a simple cob or apple wood pipe. If you were to smoke this alone I would recomend you put a filter to this, it is cased a bit heavy, so to compensate the gurgle you may come upon if your puffing a dad to fast. As a huge fan of McClelland, let me share a great summer time smoke, mix this with 2 parts Pal O mine and One part VBC, I like to keep opened tins in those glass jars with the rubber rim snap shut lids,...Give it a good shake in the jar, leave it for a week, open the lid just enough that air gets in without fully opening the lid, give it a day, and boom!!!, peaches and cream baby, sweet and rich, its summertime stuff, like warm humid evenings, honey suckels, and tree frogs, yea man, its down home, simple, straight or blended, 3 stars, not including the million stars you will be gazing at as you smoke and ponder in the heat of the nite, you won't be disapointed,... Not if you like VBCs. Happy smoking, and a wonderfull summer to all of you, HAPPY JACK

Absolutely fantastic Black Cavendish! Very similar to Iwan Ries' 3 Star Ebony. Dry, cool, and a lovely honey/vanilla taste and aroma. A good blender and outstanding on its own. For the lovers of sweet aromatics this is a must try. 4 stars.
