This is an economical flake cut tobacco. My definition of cavendish is that it is a type of cut...not a type of tobacco. Perhaps in the manufacturing process it was cavendish cut then pressed and cut into long slices.
It is not a complex tobacco rather mild, pleasing room note, and mild taste. What combination of tobaccos is unknown. Virginia and Burley, but in what proportion is hard to define. Sometimes I taste more Virginia than anything else and since I have aged two of the two lb. boxes from 1997 what changes may have been made, since then, I don't know.
The slices do remind me of other mild Danish type tobaccos, but without all the casings/flavorings. I fold and crumple the slices, keep fairly moist, keeping what I place in the bowl as a broken, slightly rubbed flake.
Since I prefer plug and flake cut tobaccos, this one fits the bill. Not too expensive and a lighter taste than the matured virginia plugs I usually smoke. Most often smoked in a group 5 size billiard. Very much worth a try for those seeking a mild slice.
...a pipe is to be savored...

There?s nothing wrong with this stuff at all, I don?t understand the negative reviews. This is the first Lane product I?ve smoked, honestly, I was expecting something cheap and heavily cased. It?s a respectable mild flake, harmless and pleasant. Folks want to compare it to MacBarens and Stokkebyes navy flake? Compares well I think. I have a decent palatte, not sure I could tell the three apart in a blind taste test, though it is a bit sweeter and less tendency to bite than the Macbarens. I?ve smoked a lot of the Stokkebyes and like it. It would be luck to pass a blind test.

I have always been leery of bulk pressed cavendish tobaccos but I thought I would give this a try.
The casing is certainly overpowering on the bourbon end but can be adjusted by a good rub out and letting it air for a good hour or so. The moisture content of this tobacco is a little heavy too and the resting does lend this offering to a dryer smoke.
This tobacco definitely has a minor degree of complexity for what it is. It lends itself well to to your favorite adult beverage and cheese and crackers. GCS has a nice nutty taste with some showings of spice and pepper. The room note will not offend most but this blend should be saved for airier venues. It burns well but a little hot if puffed too zealously. The ash is a medium to dark grey color and leaves little dottle if any.
For what it is, three out of four stars but no starter in my rotation!

This is a mild, light Virginia flake in the Danish style that compares well with Troost, Orlik Golden Slices and Stokkebye Luxury Curly Slices. At $15-20/lb it is the economical choice in this genre.
Comes in large, long flakes that I cut into thirds and store in mason jars. It is basically unflavored and has a mild sweetness coming from the Virgina tobacco. Little tendency to bite for a Virginia.

When I first started smoking Flake tobaccos this one was my favorite for a long time. It's a very nice tobacco but not complex enough for me anymore. I still keep a lot of it around and have a pipe that just loves this tobacco. You really can't go wrong with this one for a bulk flake. But there is better stuff out there in tins.

I bought this by mistake. I was told this was a McClelland tobacco. Anyway after smoking a few bowls I would have to give this a 3 stars in the realm of flake or sliced tobaccos. A good honest seemingly unflavored tobacco from Lane. Might be considered a Dutch-style Flake. Good for mindless puffing, no tongue-bite encountered.
