It's an old truism, but may be a good reminder, that black unflavored Cavendish, and probably many Cavendish tobaccos, thicken the volume of smoke in a good way, if you like a little more smoke to taste. Or by itself, Cavendish provides a nice high volume smoke that is usually mild and mellow. C&D offers a tasty version in bulk, as do other brands.

Good to note regarding more smoke. I believe that adding a little unflavored black Cavendish also adds a little smoothness and subtle sweetness. Good for adding to some English and Orientals that tend to be on the dry smoke or bit too spicy side.

The three blends I have that contain cavendish: SG Celtic Talisman, HG American Black Cherry and Peterson Killarney.

The Killarney needs a week or two in the jar as it's like French kissing a stinging nettle right now, I just went for a smoke of it and noticed the plentiful and slightly moist smoke. It was very satisfying.

I'm still getting to know the different qualities of tobacco so threads like this are really helpful. Today I made a space for six more tobacco jars so I'm on the prowl ? .

I've seen that written before, without really getting it. The socalled "volume of smoke" seems to me to be "less concentration of flavor".
I always find the blends with black cavendish to be shallow in flavor and fill the void with a mild sugar sweetness.
