I wasn't impressed with this one. I love aromatics as much as I love English blends, but this one missed the mark with me big time. I received some from a friend, who had (unfortunately) purchased a large quantity of it for himself. I appreciated the gesture for sure, because I love aromatics.
I just couldn't like this one no matter what I tried. I tried cobs, different briars...anything I could think of. As with most Cavendish blends, I had to let it dry a bit before lighting up. This isn't a bad thing, as I like my tobacco on the dry side anyway (no matter what blend I am smoking). The pouch aroma was caramel, chocolate, and vanilla. I thought I was going to be in for a treat similar to Sutliff's Molto Dulce. I thought wrong. It had no flavor whatsoever...even down to the last of the bowl. It was quiet literally like smoking hot air, which is something that I have not experienced with very many blends (even Captain Black has more flavor). I can't say that I would recommend this to anyone, and I certainly don't plan on trying it again!

I purchase my first pipe in 1975 at my local Tinder Box and the salesperson suggested as my first smoke Lamplighter. Do I have found memories of that day? I do not think I finished that first 2 ounce bag. It was not that I was new to pipes, I just did not like the stuff. I know, lots of pipe smokers started with (many remained with) some sort of Cavendish, but in all honesty I think the mark was missed here. It seldom burned evenly. I always had to run a pipe cleaner through the stem halfway through a bowl. About the best thing about Lamplighter was many people, back in those days when you could smoke in a college classroom, found the aroma pleasant. If I ever have a hankering for a Cavendish, I will not try to satisfy that hankering with Lamplighter.
