Sutliff Tobacco Company Black Cavendish B20

Very moist, though it smoked well and without bite. The flavor was as expected, with the natural sweetness on-point. Best as a mixer, in my opinion; added to a basic English Blend, it compliments the flavors of Latakia nicely. On its own, it is very mild and decidedly one-dimensional. Definitely recommended as a mixer; not so much for solo smoking.

B20 Black Cavendish … An all black (color) tobacco, in what I call the hodge-podge cut, everything from dust on up, with a strong vanilla aroma. Straight from the pouch this tobacco was in my opinion too moist, destined to produce steam and bowl goop, so under my desk lamp it went, and in short order it dried nicely, for me, a good sign.

Light up went without a problem. The first few draws produced satisfying volumes of mild sweet smoke. Which gradually faded into a just OK faintly sweet tobacco taste. If I had to compare it to something, I would say BCA, but this is not BCA by any stretch. On the plus side, its priced right, is “very” smoke able, mild and completely bit free, an all day smoke for sure. So you make the call, I personally can live without this stuff, but that is only my opinion. If you normally smoke Cavendish, I truly think this stuff has enough going for it, to make it worth a try.

The blend of Black Cavendish I smoked came from Gawith Hoggarths and I will definitely be ordering more of this mixture. The tobacco was a little too moist straight from the pouch and took some effort to keep it alight. However when dried for a short while it smoked well and really released its flavours. Somewhat fruity with little bite and not too much of the gunk left by most aromatic blends. I enjoyed this and found the taste improved as I neared the bottom of the bowl - there seemed to be a hint of vanilla and liquorice but the overwhelming flavour was fruity in my opinion.

This is a surprisingly mild otc aromatic. Most drugstore cavendish blends are just too sweet for me, but this one is pretty good. This is mixed with gold burley, and sold as burley and black. All three blends can be found at Walgreen's in my area for about $10 for a 12 oz sack. Worth a shot if you can't get to a tobacconist. It smokes easily, although it can get pretty wet if puffed too enthusiastically. But that comes with the territory.

Jar note of Vanilla, brown sugar, and spices. Tobacco is black course cut and a bit wet and sticky. Drying is needed as well as rubbing out larger pieces. Burns slow with a few extra relights. The strength is mild and nic is mild. Flavoring is mild to medium, with notes of vanilla, that disappears around the halfway point. Taste is mild and consistent, with notes of brown sugar, bitter wood, toasted bread, dry earth, mild spice, a sweet nutty background note, and a smooth retro. Room note is pleasant, and aftertaste is good.
