I am not much of an aromatic smoker, though I can appreciate them. I don't think Sweet Cavendish has much going for it though. It's best feature is the look of the tobacco in the tin. It looks very silky and luxurious. It's all downhill from there. The tin aroma smells like a cross between vanilla, cafe mocha and Pepsi cola. It's not exactly a bad aroma, though not an extremely special one either. It lights like a heavily cased aromatic - slowly and you can hear the tobacco sizzle as the casing and PG burn of. This slight sizzle continues through much of the bowl -though it seems to smoke dryer than you'd expect. The taste is very one dimensional, in fact I could go as far as to describe it as boring. The flavor is hard to describe. One reviewer described it as a caramel-ish flavor. I can buy that -though it seems a bit flat for caramel. The virginias never seem to poke their heads above the surface, they remain dominated by the flavored cavendish. As I smoked it I kind of though of the mystery casing of Frog Morton and wondered if there was not some of this flavor in the Frog. Of coruse the Frog has so much else going for it.... but I wonder, after all this is blended (I believe) by McClelland too. Anyhow, I wouldn't recommend Sweet Cavendish to anyone -not even those who like aromatics. I have smoked many aromatics which burned, tasted and smelled better than this. Why smoke this?????

Promised a lot in the tin, and when opened the aroma felt great.
Still, didnt keep up the high expectation i had, after lighting. Tobacco came a bit too wet for my taste, causing an excessive number of relights, and a lot of sizzling. Smoked a bit too wet and needed a constant and slow draw, or self i would suffer from tongue bite for hours.
As for the taste and for the smoke itself, an almost fruity, nice sweet taste from the beggining till the end of the bowl, but nothing more than that all the way. Quite like a monocordic song that you hear and repeats itself from time to time, in your head.
Even for a newbie like me, looking for different smokes after a few years on cuban cigars, couldnt help getting a bit disapointed on what promised to be a good trip on the wings of a nice cavendish, but turned out to be a boring trip.
Just going to end this tin, and dont plan to buy it again.

A tobacco very much along the lines of Captain Black white label and Lane Ltd. 1Q, this is a heavily cased, damp aromatic blend, a bit excessive for my tastes. I was presented with a tin of this by sister in law and as I smoked a bowlful she herself became wobbly from the aroma. It is soft and mild, but if smoked hastily it can lead to tongue bite.
A quality product, I don?t think however there is anything special to set it apart from most Viginaia/Black Cavendish blends.

This is the kind of tobacco that you smoke around women when you want to create that special atmosphere for love. Other than that this tobacco is is foul. This may be the gooeyest tobacco I ever tried. So wet that even after leaving the tin open for a week it was still so sticky that it was hard to pack because of the syrup (I hate to call it a casing) poured on it. It is so wet that it was difficult to smoke beyond 2/3's down the bowl. Rejected.
