Has anyone tried this yet? I just ordered 2 tins to try. It sounded interesting. I was just wondering others thoughts on it.

I'm smoking it now in a corn cob. Mild and dull.

I bought two tins and have really enjoyed the blend so far. It has one of the nicest tin-notes I have experienced, smokes well, and tastes really nice. I just ordered two more tins to cellar.

Here's my review of the current version:
The steamed and toasted three cavendishes are in order of importance: the lightly sweetened Dominican cigar, Eastern North Carolina red Virginia, and unsweetened one sucker Kentucky burley black. They combine to create a fair amount of fermented tart and and tangy citrus, tangy dark fruit, earth, wood, peaty vegetation, cigar, floralness, leather, herbs, some sugar, cocoa, espresso-ish coffee with a little cream, grass, spice, nuts, tea, acidity and light roughness. In order of the importance of the toppings are coffee, walnut, and creamy vanilla toppings with a light tangy citrus. They have a moderate effect on the varietals. The strength and taste levels are medium. The nic-hit edges past the center of mild to medium. Won’t bite or get harsh. It does sport a light rough edge. Mildly moist, well balanced, and complex, it burns cool, clean and slightly slow with a very consistent creamy sweet, fruity, espresso-ish/coffee, cigarish, lightly sour, bitter, cocoa, spicy, floral, savory flavor that extends to the pleasantly lasting after taste. The room note is a touch closer to tolerable than it is to pleasant. Leaves little dampness in the bowl, and requires a couple more than an average number of relights. It may be an all day smoke for the more experienced smoker, and is easily repeatable under any circumstance despite its inherent depth of flavor. I recommend a wide bowl for this blend. This version is mostly the same as the others, although the cigar cavendish seems just a tad more obvious. Four stars out of four.
