I'm just wrapping up my first batch of cavendish thanks to your video! It smells 100 times better than bulk black cavendish, so I'm hopeful that it will taste better too! Just need to let it dry out a bit more before trying it! I just used an old electric turkey roaster with an elevated cookie rack. Some distilled water in the bottom and spritzed the tobacco with the distilled water to make sure it got damp and 6 hours later it was pretty dark. It got much darker as it cooled. Thanks again!
@@ThereAndTobacAgain It dried down to about 15% moisture so I tried it against the raw tobacco and it was much rounder in flavor and less harsh that the raw leaf. I did case it with some sugar water, which didn't add as much sweetness as expected. It was still too moist to burn well. I'll let it dry a bit more and try it again. For a first crack at Cavendish, I'm very pleased.
I have been enjoying these videos! Lately I have been wanting to create my own blends especially some codger burley types and have found your content to be very informative. The only processing I have have tried is stoving red virginia and that turned out well. Great stuff!
I used to blend Black Cavendish with Sir Walter Raleigh Aromatic, I also blended Sir Walter Raleigh aromatic with Paladins Black Cherry I always had compliments on the aromas especially from women my wife was extremely partial to the later. The flavors worked well together also. Ps I blended 50/50
I have in my vegeteble garden three types of tobacco. Virginia gold, Kentucky 21, and a bit ot Turkish samson. I am drying leaves in the greenhouse which works well. But I must have Cavendish. I've got an old pressure cooker. Gonna see what I can make.
Thanks for this content! I actually have been discovering pipe tobacco’s in a completely different way and I realize it’s different but it’s what has me so curious about the real tradition and in my case it’s been through naturally extracted tobacco liquids, so essentially like a tea from the actual blends which is then vaped, but while there isn’t the combustion element I really love the cavendish blends, also Tuscan cigar is really tasty ❤ but the Latakia is hit or miss forme, one of them reminded me of beef jerky almost 😂
Thanks for such an interesting video! I was trying to make Cavendish with my pressure cooker, but hadn't succeed. Now I think I know why. So will try again with this year harvest Virginia.
I love that idea of putting it in the Instant Pot. Question(s); where do you get whole tobacco leaves from? Do you grow your own? I would like to build a planter out in the back yard and try to grow some tobacco in it someday. It's a cash crop here in TN so I know we have the right climate for it. It's a hardy plant anyway so I'm sure after a few seasons it would be just fine. Also, I guess you could use the term "Cavendish" as a verb, right? Like, "I'm going to Cavendish my tobacco now" or something of that ilk. Anyway, that is great to learn even if I just buy some and start making my own blends. Keep up the good work on your videos, they are enjoyable to watch. Merry Christmas to you my friend.
My whole leaf I get from a farmer friend but I intend to grow my own this coming season. You can also get it a site called wholeleaftobacco.com. I've never ordered through them but their prices seem good. Give it a try and let me know how your cavendish turns out! Merry Christmas!
I usually buy seeds on Etsy and I grow both outside in the garden and inside in containers. The amount I harvest easily lasts a year even after giving some seedlings away
👏👏👏 Another very informative video. Thank you for sharing the process. I like to to keep Lane BCA & 1Q around as a condiment to add to blends and you're 💯 right about it softening the edge on blends. Making my own definitely sounds interesting. I'm experimenting with Cigar leaf at the moment, even using Cheroots to break up and add to blends for an extra kick. I see Italians doing this with Toscano Cigars. Take care Logan, Happy Holidays. Stay safe out there 👍🍂🔥💨 JB
Thanks for watching, Joseph, I always appreciate your comments! Those Tuscano cigars are made with the same leaf as C&D Sansepolcro, very tasty and potent leaf. Sounds like a great idea!
@@ThereAndTobacAgain I did not know it was the same leaf. That intrigues me even more now. I'll have to look around or order some. Thanks for the info. 👍
I like watching. But I'll leave the blending for other people. I do like most cavendishes that I tried. I got a sweet tooth. Thanks Logan, always good to watch your videos.
I'm glad you're enjoying the vids, but who knows you may one day get a crazy notion to mix some up yourself. It's a fun and enlightening experiment. Stay well, sir!
@@ThereAndTobacAgain Here in New Zealand it is perfectly legal to distill your own moonshine , Just need a licence to sell it . So it becomes the natural choice for toppings
Hooray..!!! Wonderful content I just got an instant pot and have been cooking like crazy with it and was wondering if it had an application like this..!!! I haven't really done any major blending, but I press bulk tobacco into crumble cakes..really improves the flavor....question so when your using the jar method I assume you have not top on the canning jar to let the steam contact the leaf..how long do you run the tobacco in the instant pot for Cavendish??
When I did it in the jar, I actually did seal the jar, the moisture I added to the tobacco creates the necessary steam within the jar. Both methods I did 8 hrs total but you could do it longer to deepen the color.
@@ThereAndTobacAgain Wow, thanks for the fast response, really enjoying your channel .. so you added some molasses flavored water in the jar, maybe a couple ounces..? and then added water in the instant pot proper as well..??
When I did it in the jar, I used just water in the jar. When I used the open dish, then I used molasses and water in the bottom of the instant pot. Hope that helps. Have fun experimenting!
Had a go at Making Cavendish today in My Multi Kai Cooker , Steamed it for about 5 hrs , drained of the liquid and then smoked it with some Oak chips from a whiskey barrel for a further 30mins and left to dry . Turned out better than I was expecting . Here a link for the multi kai cooker multikaicooker.co.nz/
Simplemente no sabes de lo que hablas... Aunque, parezca qué sí.... A ver... Los ingleses por ley NO pueden agregar ningún ingrediente al tabaco (desde tiempos antiguos) por eso ellos juegan con el vapor y fermentación (un universo en si mismo... Imposible de abarcar en éste comentario) El black cavendish, es una elaboración de tabaco muy desarrollada en los países bajos... Utilizando el tabaco Burley, más barato.... Se debe saber un poco de historia y los recorridos marítimo de la empresa de indias occidentales holandesas para saber con qué comerciaban, los tiempos de travesía, para darse una idea de cómo sé creó el black cavendish... Pues fué en un inicio una forma de conservación del tabaco, que luego derivó en una factura de elaboración del mismo... En verdad no estoy como para dar lecciones de historia o cultura general.... Sólo me irrita cómo hay gente que se expone de forma tan fresca a hablar sin saber...

It is a very pleasant smell. No one seems to be bother when smoking it. I usually get the comment that people near me enjoy the aroma.
Very informative. I’ve smoked cavendish tobacco for about 6 years, but knew very little about the process and details.
Very informative. I make my cavendish like you do - in a steam cooker, adds up a lot to the final blending.

Codger blends are fun to try and recreate. They're not overly complex and you can usually come pretty close. Good luck!
Great video, very informative and helpful, thank you!

love the taste of Natural Dutch Cavendish
Indeed, it's my favorite cavendish for sure
Great explanation 👍🎄
GREAT VIDEO THANK YOU MY WIFE AND ENJOYED IT AND WE SUBBED YOU.
Thank u
You're welcome, Mark, thanks for watching!
On my home grown I use , Moonshine , Vanilla and Honey then press in a 12ton shop press
Never considered moonshine, that's an interesting choice. Of course I haven't had much moonshine in my life, maybe I need to give it a taste!
@@ThereAndTobacAgain Here in New Zealand it is perfectly legal to distill your own moonshine , Just need a licence to sell it . So it becomes the natural choice for toppings
Perfect

Thank you for helpful story of your own way to cook cavendish at home. Did you try to make it with a Kentucky leaf? What's result?
I've only made Cavendish with Burley leaf but any type of leaf can be stoved using the same process.
What is "golden" cavendish? Great video btw thanks for info

Nice! Sounds like an interesting flavor profile
@@ThereAndTobacAgain surprisingly very close to the Stokkebyes Natural Dutch Cavendish for taste . Very easy to smoke . Taste great as a ciggy too.
I've read all of those cavendish threads on Fair Trade Tobacco (the Whole Leaf Tobacco forums). What's your username on there?
