This is a basic Dutch cavendish. I never smoked much Amphora Brown back when it was in every grocery store, but this is similar to what I remember. One of the other reviews said it was like Sail Regular, and that is true in terms of strength and cut. I find Sail Regular to have a slightly sweet taste with just a little oriental spice.

This is a good smoke, but it is nothing fancy. I got tobacco flavor, natural subdued sweetness and a cool burn. It is a combination that works. This is an "all-day" blend, and by that I mean I have smoked five bowls of it in a row and did not get bored with it or suffer palate fatigue.

Edit 8/31/14: I bought a pound of this when the sample was gone. I find that I go through this at a brisk rate. I reach for it a lot. It is simple and satisfying. This is a solid 3.5 on the scale. It is not something everyone should try, but it works very well for me.

The flue cured Virginia is a bit grassy with some tart citrus, light floralness, and a bit of spice as the lead component. The nutty, earthy, woody burley is also a little toasty with a touch of molasses in a supporting role. The Virginia cavendish offers tart citrus and honey, and noticeably melds well with the other varietals. The spice is a little tongue tingly, so I recommend a slow to moderate puffing cadence, or you may feel a little bite and a harsh note. Has a few small rough edges. The topping (honey?) is hard to define, but is a little sweet, and doesn't detract from the tobaccos. The strength and nic-hit are just past the center of mild to medium. The taste level is a step past that mark. Burns slightly fast, requires very few relights, and has a very consistent flavor as it easily burns to ash. Leaves almost no moisture in the bowl. Has a short lived, pleasant after taste and room note. Not very complex, but serves well as an all day smoke.

...Quite a nice tobacco...simple, straightforward. yet it pleases all my senses. While it is a dramatic shift from the strong plug/flake tobaccos I smoke, it has made it into my top 15 tobaccos in rotation. This is one of those few tobaccos that fits under, "Less is more"... Extremely pleasant taste and aroma, and can be enjoyed in any size pipe...especially good with hot tea/coffee and in the evening with a wee dram of single malt. Certainly worth a try...

...a pipe is to be savored...

It always cracks me up when people say a certain blend of pipe tobacco tastes like cigarettes. I also smoke cigarettes and wish they could taste like this blend. Honestly, if you think this tastes like cigarettes then they either sold you a bag of "faux" pipe tobacco or you've never had a cigarette. I don't say this to be harsh, I say it to make it clear that it is IMPOSSIBLE to mistake this for cigarette tobacco.

The jar smell reveals some kind of topping, maybe vanilla. This blend, however, isn't heavily cased and you can taste the tobacco. I would qualify this as a lightly aromatic cavendish blend. The taste and aroma develop into a creamy coconut type flavor, and the last third is more reminiscent of a plain burley blend, but slightly sweeter.

A simple whiff at the jar will convince you it won't taste anywhere close to a cigarette.

The third is a series of reviews on Peter Stokkebye's more naturally flavored tobaccos, the other two being Cube Cut and Aromatic Dutch Slices. No appreciable aroma other than that of fine tobacco, and like the other two previously reviewed tobaccos, NDC was easy to load and light. The overall smoking characteristics were outstanding and similar to those already mentioned. This one, for me, was more Virginia forward (but not hay like) and had more of a spiciness/sharpness while exhaling through the nose. A very naturally tasting smoke and very appealing. A bit more tingling on the tongue than the other two but no bite to speak of. Smoked dry to the heel, without moisture or dottle, and maintained a very nice, pure tobacco taste throughout the smoke. Solid smoking experience and for me but would have preferred a more, fuller tasting Burley in the mix. A good set it and forget it type of smoke and along with the other three, very affordable.

Rather suprising that a bulk dutch style cavendish of this sort has some appreciable nicotine. It's a bit closer to medium than mild in this regard. Dutch style cav's are generally very light. In fact, it seems to me despite the description that there must be at least some lighter dark fired leaf in this blend, slight smokiness in there. In line with dutch style it is very light in flavor with a very mild chocolate-like casing. The cut is a ready rubbed caked tobacco along the lines of the old Amphora, perhaps a bit chunkier. Moisture level was just about perfect with no noticable humicants, no bite. This should be a good mixer.

As a smoker who enjoys sail regular, and skandinavik regular, I find peter stokebye natural dutch cavendish to be very similar to sail regular, and a lot less expensive. It also reminds me of the old amphora regular, as well as I can remember it. It is a good flavorful all day kind of smoke,without all the goop and additives of some of the other brands like lane, and mcClelland's.Granger rough cut,sail regular,stokkebye luxury navy flake,and mcBaren virginia no.1, are the favorites in my rotation,although i've found myself smoking p.s.natural dutch cavendish 90% of the time. If you like sail regular,or the old amphora regular, this is the blend for you. I buy mine from for $12.50 per 8 oz. Natural dutch cavendish may become the only tobacco I buy in bulk in the future,except for an ocassional can of granger rough cut,as I enjoy a good burley with my morning coffee. I give p.s.natural dutch cavendish four stars.I've also found this blend to be bite-free.

Stokkebye’s Natural Dutch Cavendish doesn’t offer much in the way of scent in the pouch other than a light sweetness. It’s fairly dry to the touch verses a black Cavendish. In the pipe it is very straight forward offering no complexity but then who expects that from a Cavendish blend? It is mild, and sweet, but not overly sweet, rather just enough to satisfy my sweet tooth. I think that JimInks description of citrus and honey comes closest to what I taste. There is no bitterness that I can detect and if there is any artificial flavor like those found in OTC blends, I can’t taste it. It burns cool and leaves no coating in my mouth like similar blends that I have smoked. I also like the fact that it burns pretty dry not leaving much in the way of moisture in the pipe. At the current price point, this is a far better offering than any of the OTC blends like it that I have tried. Nothing fancy here, but good all the same!

Update--I submit that this is the cheapest "natural" tobacco you can buy that is any good. By "any good" I mean a tobacco which will satisfy those used to natural premium blends with little or no flavorings and little or no PG. Do not be fooled by the word "Cavendish".

This has a very subtle sweetness and aroma, from the Dutch Cavendish process, and a nutty burley presence with a decent amount of body.

It's lack of pretense and straightforward flavor without off tastes are quite attractive. The main downside for me is it must be taken slowly or "breath smoked" or else it can get bitey.
