There is nothing special about this black cavendish. I bought two ounces of bulk two years ago and smoked it all but it is not impressive. Room not is OK but there is not much flavor. Two stars.

This might be as bad as it gets. Like several other blends by this brand, the taste of wood is predominant. It is not your pipe that is on fire, it is the taste of this blend. With all the wonderful aromatics out there I can't imagine anyone choosing this. I rarely start a pipe and then empty it before the smoke is done, but I did with this. I couldn't take it.

From the "What's Dad got on the table for smoking today" file, comes Special Black.

For being touted as a (if it is so) Black and Moist pleasant sweet, it occurs as one most certainly, if devoid of such a crutch.

Nothing is further (from it) that it sucks except than possibly it does.

I have yet to decide, but am not still certain as to my ability to do so. (given the need) Having heard what I have read.

Wet and hot is the best description that comes to mind.Had in mind that it might be a good everyday smoke around the house and friends.Unfortunately 600 is to wet to burn decently.The taste upon lighting is mild and pleseant but the goop generated after a few puffs reminds me of the Texas marshes,sticky,almost quicksand like as I sank.At this point the bowl needs to be relit dont worry about burning the house down #600 will not stay lit long enough.Tounge bite would be nice but Hades on the tounge is a better description trying to stay lit.

Set aside hoping over time and little drying this blend will become another McClelland homerun.Until then moving on to some other great blends.
