Stockton and Cavendish Strength?

[PipeIT]

Seeing the MB Stockton came back around I was considering buying some.

I really enjoy Cavendish and wanted to know how the Cavendish strength is with this blend, if it’s very Cavendish forward, or medium, or light, barely noticeable, etc...

Where does the taste of the Cavendish sit in the scheme of things?

Thanks

Why don't you check TR? I never smoked it, but it looks like the cavendish is not a major player,

It’s a proprietary cavendish made from Kentucky, it’s a medium blend with a tad spiciness and a slight hint of a sweet topping, barely any. I like it! I’m not sure it’s typical of “normal” cavendish but I’m smoking it right now and I like it!

I checked TR first, and my favorite reviewer, Jiminks, gave it 3.5 out of 4 stars, so I bought 2 tins.

Cavendish's are normally on the very mild side so don't look for them to provide a remotely powerful smoke.

You'll get some answers from people with different senses of taste. From what I remember, it's on the subtle side.
Best is to buy it and see for yourself.

I know what Cavendish is like, I’ve smoked a lot of it. I wouldn’t call it a powerful blend either, but it can be a very full flavor, especially in a blend that is quite Cavendish forward, then the taste is quite evident.

KBV Anne Cap is a very Cavendish forward blend, loads of Cavendish flavor from beginning to end.

I did read the reviews, I thought it was a bit mixed from what I remember, I also asked, because we all know blends can change.

So I wanted to see if anyone bought a recent tin, what it was like.

Thanks
