The moniker is somewhat misleading because it contains no Cavendish at all. In the description it reads "no flavouring," but I can detect a topping of some sort with vanilla-like characteristics. The flavour profile of what appears to be its main two components, that is, bright Virginia and white burley, is down to the point, but I would have preferred oriental leaf in substitution of the bright virginia, and of course, no topping. The taste profile is medium, but it packs a medium to high nicotine punch depending on your tolerance. It is less sharp and acidic than you would have expected and leads to a bready mellow flavour profile quite consistent throughout the bowl. I have not detected any sharp edges or downsides apart from the topping. Not quite an aromatic, but disgusting enough to reject it if you are a seasoned and experienced pipe smoker. All and all, I guess it is OK, but won't buy it again.

I have been smoking this blend for a couple of days now, and whereas my initial impressions have not changed much yet, I want to say the following. For starters, I want to say I am thoroughly enjoying it. My main issue is with the topping, not so much the blending components. I understand this blend is intended for a broader audience, so I cannot hold C&D responsible for it, but me being a purist in the English traditional sense of the so-called "purist laws," I can only reject this blend on the account it has been contaminated with a foreign substance that is alien to tobacco itself. This is probably the most European or Danish style tobacco I ever had from C&D, and will probably appeal to those more accustomed to OTCs or industrially produced market blends, but I am all in for artisanal stuff. To put it simply, apart from the commercial aspects of this blend, I do not see the point in it. Having said that, I must say I did enjoy the dimension this added flavour brings onto the original formula, but that's beside the point. So please take my review with a pinch of salt because I am biased. If you want to try, just go ahead and buy some so that you can make up your own mind.

OK, I will upgrade to four stars. Narrow-minded people learn nothing.
