C&D's Autumn Eveing is said to be a Virginia Cavendish. Not a bad tin note on it. Smokes nicely too.
Not a 'traditional' cavendish, probably. I haven't much other Cavendish experience.
Maybe that first year I smoked pipes when I gave Luxury Bulls Eye a try, but that's really just a hint.

Stokkebye's LTF is a Virginia Cavendish of sorts, but the pressure comes from pressing those interesting rolls. Also, McClelland's Deep Hollow is a Virginia cavendish, but that one is going to be hard to find now that McClelland has... you know... :

I'd order a small quantity of unflavored black Cavendish from C&D or another name blender, to try by itself and as a condiment for blends, to get the hang of what it is and isn't. As I've mentioned, C&D Tuggle Hall is a Cavendish based blend that I like a lot. Though it has Latakia and Perique, which seem to get thrown into everything (or too many) the Cavendish base makes it distinctive. The unflavored Cavendish lends volume to smoke and usually adds to an even burn. I'm interested that when Cavendish is given as a constituent of a blend, the original tobacco, nearly always Virginia or burley, isn't given. I guess they don't want to confuse the consumer.
Mwa-ha-ha! :twisted:Also, McClelland's Deep Hollow is a Virginia cavendish, but that one is going to be hard to find now that McClelland has... you know... :
MSO, usually if Virginia Cavendish is used as a component in a blend it is called "stoved Virginia." But if it is burley based, it is just Cavendish.
But, when it is an element by itself, then we call it a Virginia Cavendish.
