Probably Stokkebye's most visually striking blend, as the dark cavendish is contrasted against the bright virginia in a pretty dramatic fashion. The drama continues with the scent, which is very strong and very sweet.
Fortunately, the pouch note is much more subdued on the palette, much like the other Stokkebye aromatics I've tried. And like the other Stokkebye blends, the smoke is rich, deep, and full bodied. There's a touch of sweetness (much less than the pouch note would lead you to believe) and ample vitamin N (very ample, in fact).
I realize I've said "just like the other Stokkebye blends" several times, but after trying six or seven of them, I've noticed a pattern. They make them big, rich, and full bodied. Always with a touch of sweetness, always with a bit of nuttiness. If that sounds appealing to you, then just pick a casing. Personally, I don't think Black Currant Cavendish will become my "everyday" blend simply because the apple and currant casing (or really any fruit) isn't exactly in-line with my tastes (although, I do like it occasionally), so I'll be sticking with the Stokkebye whiskey. But, if your palette leans more toward fruit flavors, then Black Currant Cavendish is a really good one.

I'm suprised the reviews aren't better for this blend . It's an aromatic but not wet at all.The room note is off the map . you can taste what everyone else smells . It burns fine . I wouldn't smoke it all day / every day . It's a little warm at first but cooled for me . I'm a big scottish mixture fan and this type of aromatic I don't go for in general but this was a nice suprise

I recently bought an ounce of this at my local tobacco shop. It smelled very good in the jar and the moisture was about right. The taste is sweet. However, let me say that the sweetness is not your typical "candy" type of sweetness. Don't think of cherry, but rather think of raisins. The flavor is consistent through out the bowl. Remember to puff slowly or there will be a bite. It can be forgiving on that score, though. There are too very important factors that make me totally recommend this blend: The room note is very pleasing to my wife. This is her favorite, so far, next to Retriever from Nording. The other thing to note is the kick of nicotine that surprises you about half way through the bowl. This fact reminds me why I smoke in the first place. If I was overly concerned about flavorings I would go out and get a bag of actual currents and eat them. The tobacco taste is somewhat over-shadowed by the sweetness, but the little nicotine hit kind of makes up for that. All of this is to say, when your wife loves it and you can get satisfaction from it, this puts a tobacco in the "go-to" catagory.
