Manufacturer Description:
A gentle blend with a high proportion of Black Cavendish, a pinch of Virginia and some nutty Burley.
Characterisation:
In the round tin, the Black Cavendish is wrapped in a paper rosette and covered with a cardboard disc. The tobaccos used are evenly light and black-brown. The cut is a little shorter and narrow. The rising scent is slightly sweet. Stimulating the appetite, it is reminiscent of a fine Ceylon tea. Thanks to the well-balanced residual moisture, it is not necessary to air the tobacco - the Black Cavendish can be put into the pipe immediately after opening.
Plugging:
The rather small cut and the good feel make darning easy. As usual, the Black Cavendish can be filled in loosely at the bottom and then gently stuffed towards the top until it becomes firmer.
Light up:
Not too moist, the narrow fibers of the Black Cavendish quickly take on the flame. After the first flame you just have to smooth the surface a little with the tamper before you create an even glow with the next flame.
Smoking properties:
The Black Cavendish is surprisingly spicy for its dominant tobacco. Virginia and Burley play a prominent role here and show both smoky notes and soft roasted bread aromas. This is rounded off by the subtle sweetness of the Black Cavendish used. There are no surprises to be expected from this straightforward blend; it smokes just as easily as it tastes. After a quiet burn without any problems, only a little light flaky ash remains, which also makes cleaning extremely easy.
Redolency:
Since Black Cavendish is naturally not strong from its main underlying tobacco, but corresponds to a natural tobacco, non-smokers with sensitive noses should be taken into consideration.
Conclusion:
In the finely chopped Black Cavendish, the base tobaccos are evenly mixed in light and dark brown. The taste isn't just about Cavendish either. Smoky roasted notes are reminiscent of the Virginia used, softly rounded off by the burley. The Black Cavendish contributes the expected sweetness, resulting in an unspectacular but not uninteresting taste profile. This and its unpretentious behavior when smoked make Black Cavendish a tobacco for any time of day and occasion.
