This is based off a 1oz sample rather than my normal 2oz+. This is not a bad smoke if you are looking for the casing to lead the way. To me it tastes like a vanilla frosting on chocolate cake. Not the good butter cream frosting but the Duncan-Hines frosting in the can. No tobacco taste but the flavor stays the same all the way through the bowl. It is very sweet and a nice desert type of smoke. (I would rather smoke it than eat the cake maybe it will help with weight loss lol.) It does smoke a little wet and I have found that it does get bitter if I try to force the last 1/4 of the bowl. Just dump it out and let the pipe dry completely before refilling. No Nic hit at all so if you need one this is not the blend to grab. It will ghost and the basket pipe I have dedicated to aromatics even smells of nothing but vanilla now. I doubt that I will revisit this personally but as a very sweet smoke that does not bite unless you really try to make it it is fine. Good for a new piper perhaps.

Dry it some first and it'll perform better. It gives you the vanilla flavor you expect and want from black cavendish. No complexity, but you're not buying this for that anyway. Has very little nicotine and doesn't bite. Burns at a reasonable rate with a consistent flavor, but leaves a bit of moisture in the bowl, bordering on goop. Requires a few relights. Has a decent after taste, and is an all day smoke. Makes a good mixer. More of a two and a half star blend.

Alas this sticky black cavendish brings back many memories of my youth and college years.
I worked for a few years as a sales associate and novice tobacconist for a very popular mall tobacco retailer/gift shop. This tobacco was sold under the name Nightlighter. It was a very popular smoke for new pipe smokers. As the new smokers experience and taste grew the desire for this moist and extremely vanilla flavored confection lessened if not ceased altogether. I have seen this cavendish cake up and ruin many a fine pipe in relatively short order due to its high sugary topping to tobacco ratio. It usually could never be smoked to the bottom of the bowl because it was far too wet to maintain any space for oxygen let alone an ember. This usually resulted in a very top heavy cake in a pipe. This tobacco also leaves a ghost that never goes away even with a straight burly smoke or twenty.
Taking it for what its worth this tobacco is really only good for blending with fruit flavored cavendishes or a good dry burly. My recommendation is no more than an eighth ounce or less to an ounce of the dominating blend.
I can't say it is truly a horrible tobacco but I can say don't ever smoke this tobacco by itself unless you plan to dedicate a pipe to it.

An average everyday at work smoke, nothing to cheer over. It's not the worse I ever had. It's just something to smoke just to say your smoking. Mild and not very exciting. But I would take it fishing or something like that.

I've smoked about an ounce of this now and I did like it. It is sweet but otherwise plain. I couldn't detect the vanilla that other people did. This would be better if it were a little sweeter and slightly stronger. Still, not bad and I might pick some more up sometime. It did tend to gunk the pipe a bit so I simply went out and bought some cheap corncob pipes to smoke this type of stuff in.
