Cornell & Diehl Vanilla Cavendish
(1.75)
Same tobaccos as Chocolate Cavendish with the addition of a special vanilla sauce for extra mildness and flavor.
Notes: This was an Amar Blends Co. mixture. Cornell and Diehl bought the rights of all their old recipes.

This is the Red Virginia Cavendish that I rated at 2 stars with some god awful topping. Has a vaguely vanilla flavor and some other things. Gets bitter and harsh. Not worth my time and definitely not worth my money. Doesn't happen very often, but I couldn't finish the first bowl.

I had high hopes for this from my C&D sampler, as I generally like Vanilla Cavendish. I've tried at least 3 bowls in 3 different pipes, and after the first few puffs, the light sweetness turns to an increasing bitterness, like a stale cigar butt smells, such that I'm unable to finish the bowl. Could be I got a bad batch, but I remember a similar, though less strong, bitterness, in a sample of C&D Spice Nut I'd had.
For a Vanilla Cavendish I'd recommend McClelland's Vanilla (hard to find) or Stokkebye PS-9 Vanilla Creme.

Cornell & Diehl - Vanilla Cavendish.
It's Sunday, my aromatic day, so step forward C+D Vanilla Cavendish.
So, the pouch contains a well rubbed, medium brown, nicely hydrated ribbon, with a sweet-vanilla aroma. My initial thought was 'hmm, I don't hate it with as much alacrity as my pal Gentleman Zombie!'. That feeling soon changed!
Now, the if the flavour for the first part remained throughout I'd rate it higher. The initial taste is of rich vanilla. Sadly, though, this is very short lived. After a little while a stertorous, harsh, chemical-like, flavour joins in and reduces the rating; SMASHES the rating. The tobacco tastes hum-drum; not horrendous, but neither is it exactly bedazzling! The burn's too fast, causing a bowl to be over quickly; so, it requires few relights! On the positive I get no bite.
Nicotine: maybe a jot above mild. Room-note: not too bad.
Vanilla Cavendish? Pretty malevolent stuff! Not recommended:
One star.
