The black cavendish offers some brown sugar and slight toast note. The vanilla topping has a little strength, and I get a light caramel and something sort of sour or bitter from it, which indicates more than one flavoring is used. The strength is mild, while the taste is a step short of the center of mild to medium. Barely has any nicotine. Burns cool and clean at a moderate rate with a very consistently sweet flavor from top to bottom. Won't bite or get harsh. Requires an average number of relights. Leaves some moisture in your bowl. Has a pleasant, short lived after taste and room note. An easy going all day smoke that also makes a decent mixer. Two and a half stars.

Black and sticky and a bit moist, this tobacco prefumes the air with a soft clover scent but offers only a hint of sweetness for the tongue. I can happily report that it fails to attract bees.
I've found that Ebony works nice in blending some of my own Frankenweed as it adds nuances (sweet highlights)and a creamy element to the smoke. Marries nicely to pipeandcigar's Butternut Burley.
Recommended for first time smokers due to it's soft nature. Overcooked palates won't find much here.
As a stand alone smoke: 2 stars
As a blender: 3.5

I agree with the other reviews here. This is a pleasant aromatic tobacco with a heavy topping, though never goopy. The creamy, vanilla aroma is similar to IRC Old Colonial, but a bit thicker & more sugary in flavor. If you're going to go with a heavily cased aromatic of good quality, you're better off with the IRC OC. Ebony is a classic aromatic black cavendish, but it leaves me wanting something more. It's very moist & packs well, but Wilke Bohemian & IRC OC are the better of the classic American aromatics. Perhaps I'm getting a little tired of trying so many things that are mere variations of basically the same products. I'm starting to limit myself to a handful of products I want to smoke regularly.
Two and a half of five stars
