Vanilla Cavendish

Vanilla Cavendish is one of the basic aromatics Cornell & Diehl sells in bulk. It's based on the maker's own black Cavendish; Burley and Virginia leaf are added, and the mixture is then flavored with a vanilla-based sauce. It's ribbon cut, making it an easy-to-pack, easy-to-light everyday entry.

Nicotine load stays on the light side; what stands out is the soft, creamy flavor side where the Cavendish's own dark sweetness meets vanilla. An uncomplicated blend of the kind those new to aromatics, or smokers looking for a plain vanilla profile, tend to reach for. Cornell & Diehl is an American maker founded in 1992, with production continuing in Longs, North Carolina.
