Planta Van Halteren Black and Bright
(2.57)
A blend of first quality fully riped cavendish left under pressure until the leaf tobacco has been changed into a deep black colour. Very rich and smooth aroma of tobacco components guaranteed.
Notes: Only very soft, doubly fermented black cavendish. Slightly sweet flavor with noble spices. Long Grain. Very mild and aromatic.
Mix and taste are unchanged; only the name is new. 'Bright' in the meaning of "shiny/bright" replaces the term "Light", which in the near future may no longer be used due to new EU directives.

I always had a thing for Black Cavendish blends, but it's not an easy task finding a good specimen of this species, mainly because some brands tend to use LOTS of soapy casing, and for some reason they burn quite hot.
With Black & Bright I think I found a great deal. I have to say it has a very strong aromatic aroma, but keeps the soul of a true cavendish. It's sweet and smooth, and burns cool all the way trough the bowl.

Black and Bright is one of the best pipe tobaccos I have ever smoked. Being recommended as a legitimate successor to Black and Mild, this very aromatic tobacco is now a major player in my rotation.
Never found the 50g pouch as stated in the description, so my review is solely for the 100g tin package.
Featuring a strong and pleasant aroma right out of the can, burns very smoothly. Some care is recommended as it burns very hot. The aromatic flavour retains it's intensity during smoke and leaves a very pleasant room note.
In my experience with aromatic tobaccos, this is one of the strongest I have ever smoked. I believe that it is this feature that gives it such a full-bodied smoking experience.
I strongly recommend this for all who enjoy Sail, Danish Black Vanilla and black cavendish tobaccos in general.
