The Virginia is a little dull and grassy, rather empty and not very sweet. The cavendish is okay. The Jamaican Rum flavor is decent, but not outstanding, and sports a syrupy note or two. Has little nicotine. Burns a little too fast and hot, even with some hydration, and I'm a slow smoker. The flavor burns off a little at the finish. Just manages to avoid being a biter. Has a very plain after taste. Can be an all day smoke.

No rum flavor at all. But looks and smells like a quality weed while in the can. Packs and burns well. Looks like shag, but wide strips. Lights easy, not overly moist. In fact seems like a very traditional, plain leaf, with no casing at all. One good puff, then it got rough. Really rough. Harshness that burns the back of your throat quickly. I could only stand about a quarter of a bowl. That was 5 years ago. Well it sat on a shelf in a jar for 5 years. During that time I changed a lot, as far as pipe smoking. I learned to truly love a lot of blends that I misjudged before. Still not a huge fan of strong unfired burley, but the hobby of pipe smoking has always been a work in progress for me. Always will be. So I decide I'd take that can of aged Jamaican rum blend off the shelf and try it again. Because it should have mellowed some, and because I have a more mature palate now. Well...its still awful. Dreadful, harsh, and unpolished. In its defense I'll say this. It does have a real tobacco taste. But this stuff is so rough, dry and burny that only a pirate marooned on an island could want it. If all tobacco was this way I would give away all my cobs. Life is too short to smoke this rough stuff.

This offering from CnD smells terrific in the tin, the rum flavoring smells great. Then you light it. The flavor is nonexistent, but that might because this tobacco bites harder than a Nile crocodile. It burns hot and fast, so you won't have to put up with it for long.

Deep, rich color. This tobacco smells of brown sugar and rum(no surprise there haha.) It packed okay, though a little tight. This blend needed a couple re-lights and left considerable moisture in the bowl- All of this suggests that this tobacco is very moist and I needed to give mine much longer in the air before packing. I found the blend to be bright and sweet. I couldn't taste rum exactly, but a definite sugary taste was there which unfortunately masked the natural sweetness of the Virginia. I had a great deal of bite from this blend and found the smoke was very hot. Admittedly, I am not the slowest of smokers and I am still working on getting my cadence just right. That being said, cadence does need to vary to account for differences in blends and this one really demands some patience. I have smoked a few more bowls of this blend and when properly dried and smoked slow, it is tolerable; Enough so that I won't waste it. The room note is nice and garnered some compliments from friends, though they all compared it to cherry blend, rather than rum. I wouldn't really recommend this as I am sure there are tastier aromatic VA-Cavs out there (if that is what you are craving.)
