Super Value Natural Cavendish
(1.94)
Super Value Natural Cavendish is a cool-burning, gentle blend of tobaccos with minimal added flavoring for a mildly sweet and enjoyable all day smoke. It also is an incredibly good blending tobacco that will tone down an overly sweet Aromatic or for doctor up strong English blends.
Notes: Dream Castle/Super Value pipe tobaccos are manufactured by Sutliff Tobacco Company.

I know that somewhere in here, underneath the PG and various other chemicals, there is some tobacco. I just can't find it. Would add a nice note to one's fireplace, or perhaps as potpourri.

I'm kind of new to pipe smoking and I enjoy it so far but this wasn't so great. I got it as a gift from a friend, "Here to help you get started" he said.... Well if this is what I have to go off of for tobacco smoking then I think it would help me stop instead.
I opened the pouch and it smelt pretty good, so I started to pack my pipe. A few minutes later I'm on my back porch lighting up, the first puff was underwhelming by far and it only seemed to go downhill from there. It has a very neutral taste bordering on bland, and it burns rather hot for me. I couldn't just give up on it immediately though, over a few days I smoked several more pipes of it and it never got any better sad to say.
But all in all it was free which is great and as I'm still getting used to the tobaccos out there I think this may help calm down other blends as it was so lackluster on its own. As this is a natural blend I shouldn't fault it as much for the mild flavoring but the taste of the tobacco isn't stellar either. So, I don't recommend smoking it alone however in a mix it may help tame other bold flavors.

Lucky for me, Pipesandcigars sent this as a sampler so I didn't have to waste my money to try it out. Another baccy heavily laden with a casing of anti-freeze that comes sticky-goo and will not dry out which Dream Castle seems to be noted for.
Tried to dry on a cookie sheet for over 24 hours to no avail. Tried smoking it anyway. Packing was a chore due to the stickiness, lit OK, stayed lit OK but started to gurgle within the first quarter of the bowl. Taste and room note were not offensive and did not leave any bad taste or odor in either the pipe or the mouth. Gurgling just got worse and worse and had to wipe the bowl out after the finish.
If it were not for the humectant, would make an OK blender for harsher and bad tasting baccys but, this stuff scares me health-wise, and I will never bother to order more.

I just got back from the post office where i was expecting a box of cigars but instead found a white envelope. i didn't expect this so i figured it was from someone in the youtube pipe smokers community. after i read a couple reviews i remembered signing up for a free sample online not remembering "ya' get what ya' pay for"
I opened the pouch and gave it a wiff, it didn't smell too bad so I stirred it up, still not too bad but i've smelled better. the common note on here is that it's quite wet/sticky,I too find the same result. I closed the bag and read a few more reviews to get a general idea of what i was getting myself into, then I went to get my meerschaum as I am fresh out of corncob pipes. i'm typing this little by little as I must go outside to smoke it. so now i'm going to pack up my pipe.
it packs like a turd in a punchbowl.. soaked and lumpy... plenty of hard stalks (stems) to go around... thank "god" this meer isn't anything special to me. and now time to go outside and see how good anything called "super value" can be.
Using the 2 match lighting system I got the bowl fired up immediately and had no trouble keeping it lit. the bowl started to gurgle right away and i noticed tongue bite kicking in just as quickly. i decided to try and find some flavor but it just wasn't there. i tried a few more times and a very slight hint of something came through but i couldn't figure out what it was. I decided mid-way through this pipe that i was done giving "Super Value" a chance and dumped it out. the sound of it hitting the sidewalk was quite loud. DO NOT EXPECT A VIDEO ABOUT THIS BLEND! I would only recommend you give this tobacco to an enemy because if you give it to a friend they'll likely hate you for it.
IS THERE A ZERO STAR RATING ON HERE?!?

I previously reviewed this in an apparent duplicate entry of this blend at this location on this site: http://tobaccoreviews.com/blend_detail.cfm?ALPHA=N&TID=2014

This tobacco came with a 2 pipe purchase from pipesandcigars.com, so expectations were low.., i tried it on a Dr. Grabow filter pipe, result, flat tobacco, somehow sweet but dull. No bite for me even if i over puff. Room smell is very light and nice. English Lovers abstain to try it!, Aromatic lovers, you can find a better choice even if your low on budget !, somehow i would recommend it just for newbies.
