Looks like your basic vanilla black Cavendish and even has some of the bag aroma of BCA. Black wide ribbon with some grayish color. Taste-wise, it's very clear that this is where something like Lane's BCA gets its genesis. However, this is not your average goopy aromatic that leaves a wet heel. The point of this seems to be as a blender, which is the reason I bought it. There is no vanilla taste but there is a slight, dark sweetness - different than a stoved Virginia... not as naturally sweet but just as dark. More caramel-y but like caramel with most of the sugar removed. In a word, exactly what I was looking for.
I'm working hard on an oriental-no latakia blend of my own. Whereas I prefer the flavor when I use a stoved VA, this was an interesting sidetrip. I'm going to use this on a sub-type but I'm not as close to finishing it as I am the main blend (without this added). Basically this brings a less firmly-backboned sweetness that will reduce the richness of an oriental blend while coloring the blend in a different manner. Kind of a caramel taste, but caramel "lite"... like a caramel for dieters or something. Hard to describe but really interesting, and destined for my blending table.

This black cavendish blending tobacco offers a little fermented dark fruit, caramel, and light sugar. The strength is mild, while the taste is a step or two past that mark. Hardly has any nicotine. Won’t bite. Burns cool and clean at a reasonable pace with very consistent flavor all the way to the finish. Leaves little moisture in the bowl, and requires an average number of relights. Has a pleasant, slightly lingering after taste. An all day smoke that’s better off being a mixer as intended.

Jar note of chocolate, vegetation, rich earth. The black tobacco has a little dark brown and moisture content is high. The cut is mostly ribbon with a good bit course cut. Drying out a bit is needed. Burns slow with many relights. The strength is mild and nic is mild. No flavoring detected, despite tin note. Taste is mild to medium and mostly consistent, with notes of wood, mildly sweet, earth, nuts, dry vegetation, sporadic hints of cocoa, bitter, mild tartness, cooked brown sugar, a toasty background note, and a smooth retro. Room note is pleasant to tolerable, and aftertaste is great.

This tobacco was sent to me as a sampler from the shop I bought my pipe from. I have in the past smoked aromatics mainly with Black Gold being my go to tobacco. I got out of the hobby for about 2 years and am trying my hand at English and Balkan blends. I don't know what leaf is used in this blend but am thinking some type of burley? Who knows, maybe it's a Virginia. All I know is that the way I received the tobacco, it was just the right moisture content and burned extremely easy. Since I have the new Morta pipe, I smoked the first bowl very gently letting it go out since I didn't want to overheat the chamber. It relit very easily and I believe would have been a one light tobacco had my pipe been broken in. Overall, the flavor of the tobacco is very mild with some sweetness. It had no nicotine noticed and certainly did not bite. I thoroughly enjoyed the room note and even my wife said it had a good aroma. Basically, this could be an everyday smoke although it doesn't have any superlatives. It is just a good aromatic cavendish in my humble opinion. Try some!

I am reviewing several C+D blending tobaccos as a precursor to some blending experiments. I know not many people blend, but these reviews may provide some hints to those wanting to do so.
Stock Black Cavendish - the staple of many blends. Smokes cool with little bite, but also little flavor. Best in the designated role of a cooling agent and carrier for casing. Though if you want to smoke a very mild burley tasting tobacco, this could be it for you.
