Ok hopefully someone can enlighten me. Why, are the blending houses using Cavendish tobaccos? How can a sweetened process tobacco help with the flavor in these non-aro blends. I have even seen it used in English blends. In my opinion if it is in a blend then the blend becomes an aro. So why use it?

Hi John ... hope all is well.
Sometimes, Cavendish is made by only casing with sugar and no other flavoring prior to toasting. These Cav's are useful for mellowing out a blend, slowing down the burn and adding just a light sweetness. I generally avoid blends with Cavendish because it has a slightly metallic / pencil lead flavor to me. I noticed that a lot of the "Sneak Peek" blends at P&C list Cavendish in the blend ... too bad.
Take care!

+1 cobguy, very good explanation. I consider unsweetened Cavs to be blend softeners. BTW, John, Cavendish is a process not a tobacco strain so you can have Virginia and/or burley Cavendishes.

So how is one to know which is being used in a blend? As it stands if I see the word Cavendish in a blend description I will avoid it fearing the main tobacco flavors being covered by the Cavendish.

Usually, you can tell because in the description it will still say "non-aromatic".
Here's an example from P&C's format:
Strength: Medium
Tobacco: Black Cavendish, Perique, Virginia
Style: Non-Aromatic
So, in this case, the Cavendish is "unflavored" and being used to just mellow, round-out and lightly sweeten.

Is there a Burley forward blend that can be recomended.
Cobguy; would like to get with you someday to discuss the whole leaf thing. Since I have forced into early retirement I am available any time.

C&D Pegasus is one of the few that jump to mind.
It would be my pleasure, John! PM sent.

I believe you are thinking of PS Luxury Bullseye Flake.

C&D uses unflavored Cavendish in many of their blends. As has been stated already, it can be used to tone down a blend or to add more body.
I believe C&D uses Burley as the base for their black Cavendish.
