I had been eyeing the packages for the Townsman Cavendish blends for quite some time. I do like a lighter blend in an extra large bowl, and the reviews for these blends did say they were light in character. I decided on Blue because I like maple. I found this blend too wan for my taste. I agree with the other comparisons to Autumn Evening from this site. Townsman Cavendish Blue suffers by comparison. The maple flavoring isn't as maple-y, and the tobacco don't have as much of a flavor either. I found myself puffing harder and more frequently, which left a bit of a burn. There's nothing particularly bad about this blend, but there's nothing grabbing me by the taste buds either. I will probably use up what's left from my purchase in one of my all-day-sucker-sized large pipes. Even extra light blends have something by the bottom of those bowls.

If you want pancakes and sausage, just order it in a restaurant. It might make you say 'must we be total non-pipe smokers?' A gloppy, goopy mess ala McClelland aromatics. The C & D Autumn Evening is a better rendition of the Vermont sap variety - provided, of course, Mr. Tarler hasn't turned it into a fiery latakia blend by this time. Vermont Maple from Wilke is better, too, if you can withstand the tongue bite.
