Not Bad

Mild vanilla flavor. Somewhat moist. Does not pack well due to the very long cut of the tobacco.

Best of the bunch!

Mar 15, 2019

I've only been smoking pipes for about a year and along with several tins that I ordered to try, I put this in the cart. It was the best of the bunch - even against more established brands. Very nice flavor, but also doesnt get too hot or smokey.

reasonable tobac and a reasonable price

Admiral's Choice Black and Gold pipe tobacco

Sep 16, 2017

It was a fresh nicely cut tobacco. The has a mild smoke and pleasing aroma. There is very little burn to the tongue or palet. A tobacco one can smoke often.

It is what it is, and that isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Jun 23, 2017

I ordered AC B&G mostly because of the price. I wanted to see if an inexpensive tobacco can be any good. Well, Lane 1Q it ain't. What it is is a nice smoking tobacco for a great price. The vanilla hits you like a ton of bricks upon opening the bag. Sweet smelling, and it's got enough PG to keep it moist till the turn of the next century. No tongue bite with slow and careful puffing. Room note seems acceptable. There are more expensive tobaccos that have similar negatives, but why pay more when you don't have to? I was undecided between giving this a three or four star rating. I settled on four star as I'm halfway through the first bowl of this new arrival and it's actually getting better. It'd probably ghost the heck out of any pipe it's used in, so be mindful.

good tobacco for the money.

Jun 21, 2017

This is a very nice mellow flavored smoke,,not heavy in the sweetness dept.burns well,,no bite(so far,,after 1/3 of the bag smoked).a nice room aroma and nice flavor.i like this better then the A.C. van cavendish.a good tobacco for beginners or the smoker who likes a mellow aromatic once in awhile.im glad i decided to try this one.

I mix with the the other, when pipe is clear just love the smoke and people like the aroma

Mar 12, 2017

I mix with the other when pipe is clear I LOVE the smoke people admire the aroma

Jan 24, 2017

It's Pipe Smoke ,Little to No Discernible flavor to distinguish it,You might use it stretch your Good stuff when running Low if that is tolerable until your next order arrives.

Great Gift

Dec 31, 2016

Got this blend for my dad for Christmas. He absolutely loved it. Will definitely buy again.

Black and mild

Nov 10, 2016

Enjoyed as a first time/beginner pipe smoker. Reminds me of the flavor/taste of smoking a black and mild cigar.

Mild, Mellow,Sweet

Nov 09, 2016

Mild, with a mellow hint of sweet. It only bites if you smoke too fast.

Excellent smoke

Nov 05, 2016

As expected, top quality.

the best at any price

Oct 10, 2016

absolutely the best smoking black Cavendish I have ever purchased! The quality and price are unmatchable by anyone. If you like a mild, smooth tobacco, this is it!

Best tobacco buys for the buck

Sep 17, 2016

I am a big fan of all the Admiral's Choice tobacco blends. There are better blends, but for the price you pay, nothing beats Admiral;s Choice. As for the Black &Gold Cavendish specifically: of their blends, it is the richest and strongest. Like all their blends, it is also smooth and never causes tongue-bite.

Great Value for the Money

Sep 10, 2016

I've tried a lot of pipe tobacco but this is the one that stands out.

Admiral's Choice Black & Gold Cavendish

Jul 23, 2016

OK for a value-priced tobacco but certainly not high on my list. It burns quickly and leaves an unpleasant aftertaste. It doesn't like to be packed tightly, either

Absolutely can't be beat

Jul 22, 2016

I just received my order , and quickly too! It seems to me you can't find a much better smoke than this. I smoke many different types and flavors but I always come back to this one. No, bite, wonderful on the nose and burns great right out of the bag. I personally like a bit more black cavendish blended with it, but that's just my taste. So whether you smoke it just like it comes or mix with your favorite blend, I know you'll find a great smoke. Thanks again P & C.

Good taste, good price

Very good budget smoke!

Apr 23, 2016

This is a excellent budget smoke. Its mild, fairly smooth, and fairly cool burning. It remind me of a mild 1Q. I keep this tobacco around always as a backup between orders of my premium tobacco. Its a excellent backup or a knock around smoke.

Very good cheap tobacco

Very good cheap tobacco

Great

Apr 13, 2016

It's been my favorite for years. The store I bought it from quit selling it. I was glad to see you all started selling it.

OK Tobacco. Good Value

Apr 07, 2016

OK pipe tobacco. Slightly moist. I wish they would list one more category. Whether a tobacco is moist or dry. This one is slightly moist. The reason is a dry tobaccos BURN TOO HOT and ruined many of my pipes. They burn fast too and have a BAD tongue bite. Looking for tobacco that is moist and flavored only now. This one didn't burn too hot or have a nasty tongue bit. The aroma was OK.

Best value tobacco

Apr 04, 2016

For ten bucks you get 8ozs for a tasty,no frills pleasant smoke.The blend lights easy,and smokes sweet.I like the re sealable bag also.You can't beat it,what more can you ask for?

No good

Apr 01, 2016

Way to damp.

Admiral's Choice Black & Gold Cavendish

Mar 14, 2016

A very enjoyable value tobacco that can be smoked all day without tongue bite. Nice aroma and room note. My everyday favorite value pipe tobacco at a great price.

Easy smoking, good blending base

Mar 09, 2016

Black and Gold generates clouds of sweet, pleasant smoke. By itself, it is mild but not very flavorful. I blend in judicious amounts of Latakia, cigar leaf, and/or Perique. The result is a great, complex smoke with low bit that stays lit.

A sweeter, less fruity Lane 1Q & Captain Black Royal

Mar 06, 2016

I decided to give this one a test drive since I'm a Captain Black Royal/Lane 1Q man and was pleasantly surprised by this mix. It's a pinch sweeter in taste to CBR/1Q and I absolutely love it. Less of the raisin aroma of 1Q and more of the sugary/confection variety of sMell ftom the bag and bowl. Just take your time with it so you don't get it too hot and get tongue bite and this will be so satisfying. Even though it's an aromatic, the goopiness at the bottom of the bowl, characteristic of these blends, is almost non existent, I was shocked. Optimal if tobacco is left to dry a bit before smoking, but great either way. Beautiful ash layer. I've been reaching for this more and more lately, and since it's less than half the price of CBR, this will be a new favorite of mine from now on. If your blend of choice is 1Q/CBR, this is a must try.

Delicious!

Feb 16, 2016

Black and Gold has a sweet and savory flavor that keeps me wanting more even at the wee hours of the morning. It's so flavorful in fact, that the only time I won't smoke it is in the case of eating or drinking something with too subtle a flavor that I can't taste both! I'll definitely be buying again.

Up there with the best

Feb 12, 2016

I'm shocked. Great smoke at a bargain price. A bit more umph would make it perfect IMO.

Admiral's Choice Black & Gold Cavendish

Jan 30, 2016

When I first sampled Black & Gold, I was a little disappointed. It was much more 'aromatic' than I like. However, after several bowlfuls, I find my opinion changing. Also, the aromatic aspect tends to diminish further down the bowl. I now find that I am reaching for it more often. I am looking forward to trying the Natural Cavendish as a comparison.

Inconsistant quality

Jan 15, 2016

The second time i ordered this it was nasty,unlike the 1st time I ordered it. So the inconsistancy is a mystery. It got bitter and stinky the deeper i we t into the 2nd bag. So you take your chance with ordering this cause there is a problem with quality control or the type tobacco is not consistant from one bag to the next. The two weren't even close !

Delicious Flavor!

Jan 13, 2016

Excellent Aroma and Taste ! A superb value for the money...Believe me!

Found after all these years

Jan 11, 2016

I have been a pipe smoker for about 40 years. There was a tobacco that I loved named black and gold Cavendish. It had a great aroma no tongue bite and I could smoke all day. It was carried by CVS drug stores. Well they stop caring all tobacco products so I went in search or replacement. Most tobaccos I smoke or aromatic and a blend of Virginia and barley. I always seem to get terrible tongue bite I actually gave up the hobby for a long while. But when I saw the name black and gold I said let me give it a try. It is the exact tobacco I used to smoke. I am so happy that I found it again

Jan 03, 2016

Wonderful, helpful, supportive service!

Amazing!

Jan 03, 2016

My first time buying pipe tabacco, and I am not dissapointed. This is incredibly tasty and delicious with an incredibly earthy flavour. Must try!

Everything was perfect.

Dec 19, 2015

The shipping was fast and everything arrived just as ordered. We got the catalog in the mail and my husband enjoyed picking out what he wanted from that catalog. He is old fashion and knows little about the internet so I helped him put in his order. The actual paper catalog was great though. He probably would not have ordered without it. He is now going to order all his pipe tobacco from you guys. Thank you for making an old man's day!

Amazing!

Dec 17, 2015

This tobacco is a wonderful mixture of taste and smoke. I dare anyone to find a better smoke for the price. And people tell me it smell's delicious. This is my second order of this brand and it really is better the longer you smoke it. It seems to keep the flavor all the way to the bottom of the bowl. It's a bit damp, so a few hours drying should improve it for you , but I don't mind a relight or two. Thanks guys!

FC Eugene, OR

Dec 12, 2015

This tobacco has a rich, nutty flavor and aroma. A nice change of pace from the CB Royal and Lane 1Q that I normally smoke. It burns a little hot so I blended 30% 1Q with it and soon discovered I had created another personal favorite.

Excellent Tobacco blend

Dec 04, 2015

nice smooth mild smoke

Just the blend I've been looking for.

Nov 27, 2015

I'm a causal pipe smoker (a few times a week, mostly on weekends) and have been looking for the perfect blend for a long time. When I first started smoking, there was a local bulk blend that was great, but for some reason it got discontinued. Since then I've bought several others and have always been a bit disappointed. But then I found Admiral's Choice Black & Gold. This is the perfect blend for my palate: not too sweet or bold, and no bite. It is smooth and enjoyable for the entire bowl. Do try this wonderful blend; I highly recommend it.

Delicious and Priced right!

Nov 19, 2015

Very sweet taste and excellent aroma. Won't bite your tongue either. The price of this very tasty tobacco is absolutely FANTASTIC! Virginia Gold and Black Cavendish is a Great combination of blends. I smoke it daily. Buy a pound. You won't regret it!

My first Cavendish experience

Nov 05, 2015

I start to smoke pipe tobacco 2 months ago. My first tobacco was Virginia and Burley. This is my first Cavendish tobacco I try and I can said the difference in flavor and aroma is really noticeable. The Admiral's Choice Black & Gold Cavendish seems to be a good tobacco. I can't make any comparison until now but I read about many others products with excellent reviews who let me think there is more and better choices. But this one is my first experience and I'm not disappointed. This s good tobacco at an excellent price.

Enjoyed this tobacco very much , a light smoke, not too moist, had no trouble keeping it lit. Looking forward to trying the Vanilla also. Will purchase more of this in the future, is a good all day smoker and the ladies like the aroma too.

Admiral's Choice Black & Gold Cavendish

Sep 30, 2015

I've smoked this tobacco for many years. It's a value priced tobacco that gives a satisfying smoke all day without a bite. It smokes best when allowed to dry out for a few days. Not a connoisseur's tobacco for sure but enjoyable none the less. This was my first order from P & C and was impressed with the way they handled the order....efficiently with excellent communications, packaged well and shipped fast. My new go-to tobacconist!

An affordable favorite

Sep 17, 2015

Admiral's Choice Tobacco is the best mass-marketed tobacco. The price is great, and the quality is far superior to any of it's competitors. As for Pipes and Cigars, I now have ordered from them three times and am very pleased with the quick and easy service, and I have had NO problems recieving the orders accurately and promptly.

Admiral's Choice tobacco

Aug 04, 2015

A descent smoke and the price is good. It's not top-of -the line but more than adequate for everyday puffing. I find it best to let it dry out for a day or two before use.

Customer Testimonials

Excellent tobacco. Quick shipping.

JT of Saratoga, CA

I remember this brand in CVS Drugstores but never tried it. That was my mistake. It's a wonderful smoke and no bite. I'm retired and a heavy smoker so taste and cost is important to me. This one suits me just fine. Thanks P & C.

TC of Bay Minette, AL

Have half a bag left from a CVS purchase and was delighted to learn that Pipes and Cigars is carrying it. My wife loves the aroma and I like the mild non-tongue burning characteristic of this tobacco. Thank you Pipes and Cigars.

GD of Clifton, VA

The smoothest and most consistent ever.

JA of Fort Worth, TX

For a value blend this is pretty good stuff. I consider it a light aromatic. It's not heavy on flavor or aroma. No tongue bite which is always nice. I found out this is the exact same blend as Super Value Black & Gold! It smells the same and looks the same. It's distributed by the same company. Which is probably why I like it because I like the Super Value blend.

BW of Pomona, CA

The pouch note is very similar to play-doh. and it pretty much tastes like play-doh smells.

RR of Greer, SC

This was my first real venture into pipe smoking and I really like this tobacco. Just let it dry out a bit before you smoke and you shouldn't have any issues. I'll be getting more of this in the future.

JJ of Havelock, NC

A pipe smoker for more years than I like to count, happy to find that I can still buy Admirals Choice. I tend to stick to one brand rather than experiment. I like the mild flavor of this Black & Gold Cavendish and the aromatic scent doesn't offend non smokers. I don't find this blend to be overly sweet or give any unpleasant taste or bite. Very happy to find this on-line store for all my future pipe smoking needs. This was a brand that CVS use to carry.
