This is decent, but I think the Cavendish is a bit over applied here. It does make this ultra-smooth, but it also makes it just a bit bland. The Orientals come through nicely. The Latakia is muted by the Cav and only the smokiness comes through. An OK blend, but could have been better. I see where some see this as sweet, I see it as lacking that very thing.
Medium in body and flavor. Very, very smooth. Burns well.
EDIT: I'm starting to get the impression that a mistake has been made here. I'm thinking from reading some of these reviews that this is supposed to have Virginia Cavendish in it and that would make sense. Mine clearly has unsweetened Black Cav in it which is why it's bland and lacking sweetness. I think this may be a quality control issue.

Another blend that I have purchased early on my pipe journey. I think that the Cavendish is a bit too much in this blend. I think that it is a bit too sweet. I have not tried the Dunhill original, and honestly I am not sure that I would stand it line or pay to try it anyway. This is not my cup of tea, but it is by no means bad. I will keep coming back and see what happens down the road.
