Recommend me Cavendish English blends please
I've been smoking a pipe for almost a year I'd say. Recently tried My Mixture 965 and I've never had tobacco that good. I've tried different things, but this really seems to hit my pilate as a main mix. It seems to be the Cavendish that makes it so smooth, I also like the sweetness.
A lot of reviews people have this same reaction but then say later on as they found more blends they preferred others over it. That's hard for me to imagine at the moment... it getting better than this.
I was smoking EMP and Nightcap most of the time. I tried three nuns, I don't like the darker taste, I don't like Nightcap as much as EMP but I found 965 to be lighter, more smooth, yet still has a body to it. Although it's not an aromatic I tasted a nutty almost vanilla type quality to it that I haven't even gotten out of an aromatic. Although it's been a long time since I've smoked an aromatic, I've let those go.
I do get a Nic hit from the pipe, so I prefer the nicotine content to not be too high and the tobacco to not be too strong. I seem to like medium. I had just always heard 965 was strong and definitely stronger than the, "mild," EMP. Yet, EMP is stronger to me. Maybe it's just my pilate.
Out of all the time I've been smoking a pipe, this is the first time I was puffing to actually taste the tobacco more. Usually I am using the pipe for meditation reasons and enjoyment of that part of it, I like the tobacco to taste good obviously but that hasn't been the main part for me, it's more of a meditation tool, until I tried 965 then I understood what people mean when they say they want to taste the tobacco.
Just recently bought a ton of EMP as it's my everyday smoke and now it looks like I'm switching to 965! Oh well, I'm sure I"ll still use the EMP sometimes.
To me, EMP and Nightcap are like black coffee, nightcap being the more bold one. 965 is like a medium roasted coffee with cream and sugar in it. The creaminess of the smoke and flavor has really impressed me. Took me a year of smoking a pipe to finally have this experience. It also taste good down the whole bowl.
I really don't want anything too boutique recommended as I am looking for something I'd use as an everyday and before I decide on switching to 965 I want to try others like it. Meaning, I'd like to get it for a decent price on the internet, it to be available, etc.
I hear that 965 is more of a Scottish blend than English blend, what is a Scottish blend? What makes something step outside of being an English blend other than aromatics obviously.
