As a change of pace I tried this blend. Very mild and very slight on taste. No bite. No re-light. It burns well and leaves light grey ash. Once this tin is gone I'm not sure if I'll buy another one ....who knows

Caveat: I'm not a regular cavendish smoker and only picked up this tin because I was sampling all the Astley's blends. Actually, I found No. 66 to be a fine--but rare--change of pace, smoking it mostly in a meer. When I need a touch of sweetness, I'll go to No. 66 (although now that the tin is finished, I doubt I'll buy another). It burned very well, down to a dry ash. As a palate changer, it is recommended for occasional smoking.

I smoked this tobacco about a month or so, not what I expected from this Cavendish blend.
Being a lover of the Cavendish blended tobaccos this one left me disappointed. The sweetness seemed to be throughout a full bowl of tobacco, no tongue bite, no harshness, but never really sensed any aroma

Tin aroma is ala fruit cake smelling. Room aroma gave no negative comments.
If your a Cavendish smoker then you will probably like this blend. It's one of the best burning cavendish blends on the market. Burns good and clean.
If your an English or a strong Va or Perique smoker you will probably not like this blend. It offers nothing to this type of smoker.
Not a bad working/fishing smoke. Better then the so called "drug store blends". Smooth and suttle.
I like my Va/P blends but I'll grab a can of No. 66 once a year or so.

This is a very nice black cavendish! It smokes very, very cool and suprisingly pretty cleanly. It is rich in the way a good chocolate pudding is rich, and is in just about every respect a model black cavendish. Not at all syrupy, very rich-flavored, and mild. From that perspective, I just can't criticize it.
From the point of view of a smoker who wants something to put in their pipe, I can say that if you want a straight cavendish you could hardly do better-- but if you want a complex blend then this will likely dissapoint you, as it's just "one thing".
