Jim or Anyone KBV Anne Cap Like Cavendish?

GH&CO Dark Virginia Cavendish (DVC) is what came to mind, it’s a wonderful smoke, in my opinion. I think it was mentioned above but just in case… I don’t even know if it can be found anymore. That’s my two cents but I could very well have misunderstood the intention of your post.

That's been on my radar. Some chatter about being discontinued, but I don't know if Rachel has confirmed or denied. A couple online places still have some, but I'm not sure if I'm "500g bag curious."

Boswell’s has GH DVC by the ounce, I was considering it, but it seems hard to come by so I passed on it.

DVC or Dark Virginia Cavendish is produced by cooking Virginia leaf with steam to removes a lot of the stronger elements in the leaf. Order online!

I bought a can of Rattray’s Dark Fragrant at The Country Squire. I was about to place the order, with two other blends online, now they are using AgeChecker. I called them and they’ll do phone orders, so you don’t need to cough up and submit your ID online, I placed my order over the phone.

I’m not submitting my ID through AgeChecker!

As long as we’re not on your Hit List, I’m fine with whatever you do! LOL

I’ll second the recommendation for C&D Winchester.

I’ve only smoked a couple bowls out of a cob so jury is still out. C&D Gillingham Mixture. “A rustic blend of black cavendish, red and bright Virginias, and a touch of Perique, with a bit of honey to sweeten the pot”. Definitely not an Aromatic.

How strong is the Cavendish in Winchester and Gillingham Mixture?

The reviews on Tobacco Reviews make it look like Gillingham Mixture is stronger with the Cavendish, but the reviews on it are pretty poor. Hmm

Keep in mind I’ve only had a couple bowls out of a fresh tin of Gillingham, but it striked me as similar to Winchester but with more Cavendish.
I, like you, wanted a non-aro or lightly aromatic cavendish although I approached it as wanting a softer smoke. I tried straight Cavendish and that didn’t suit me, too boring. Winchester fits the bill for me but my curiosity will lead me to try other “Cavendish but not too much” type blends. I also want to play with adding C&D unflavored cavendish to blends. I hope you enjoy your search!
