Go The Distance

It’s pretty good, I ended up mixing it with Peter Stoyeby 201 makes a great combo

good

Good service

Very different taste but a pleasant taste and aroma, definitely much more pleasant than I expected.

Good if ya like non flavor tobacco

This stuff is simply superb!. Very tasty requires and very few relights. I highly recommend anyone to try this tobacco out.

Have order more than once but still haven't smoked it straight. It's good for blending and at a very reasonable price. Not too wet or too dry.

Shipping was good. For an "economical" tobacco, this blend was good, but needs to be smoked slowly so it doesn't get too hot.

A great deal for the price. Quality cut tobacco with mild aromatic aroma and taste. An All Day Smoke! The Second time purchasing this tobacco with a discounted an offered accessory, which is well worth the money paid for both items.

I’ve been smoking it for years. I like it better than some high dollar tobaccos and it’s a great value.

Smokes well and makes a good blender.

excellent tobacco

This tobacco (unlike the super value tobaccos, such as Gambler, or Sparrow) is quality pipe tobacco. It has no topping (unlike Smoker's Pride, Cherry Cavendish, for example). It's just good, mellow (but heavy leaf) tobacco, with a proper light quality casing, and a very mildly sweet (almost unnoticeable) pleasant aroma. Not as syrupy as I imagined them to be (especially in Admiral's case); Very little tongue bite (as far as I could tell), and not really any aftertaste worth complaining about (again, I smoke value aromatics, and I've had a little whiskey tonight, but...). When I first threw this in my basket, I thought "Well, the price is right, even if it IS overly sweet... I can always blend it into aromatics that need a little bump in their honey pot (so to speak)", but you know what? I smoked a bowl of each by themselves, and, wow, it's surprisingly good. Like, REALLY good. I could EASILY sit down in the evening and polish off several bowls in a row (if time and my rather hot pipe permitted). The aroma is very subtle, yet well rounded and pleasant. Not too bold, or obnoxious. It has the potential to mellow out a lot of aromatics that get "easily excited", or just a great go to when you're piping alone, and want to forget the nonsense. Overall, they're both good, but if I HAD to choose, I would say Admiral's is a better choice. It's more subtle than Virginia, and has the potential to marry with heavier aromatics without any interference that could become overwhelming, whereas the Virginia (when combined with other syrups), has the potential to become an excessive bowl. You may see it differently though. Either way, it's a ride worth taking. Don't believe me? Buy a bag and see for yourself. I doubt you will regret it.

smooth

I fine budget priced tobacco. It smokes as smooth as Cavendishes costing 3 times as much. Stay lit and does not have any bite.

Tasty

nice sweet tasting pipe tobacco no pipe bite

Nice black cavendish at a great price. This has become a stable for my jars. Good alone or used to wakeup an other bland tobacco.

Great price for a nice natural flavor.

Fairly mild and cool. has a round woody flavor that reminds me of whisky barrels. Very "stringy" typical of cavendish, but that's what lets it burn so even.

Very good flavor, excellent price.

Good quality and fast delivery.

This is a good multi-purpose tobacco. First, it is an excellent smoke by itself. It has a nice chocolate taste that burns cool, no tongue bite and slow burning. The tobacco is a good quality with hints of different favored toppings. Second, if you remove some from the bag and add some vanilla extract and allow to dry, you get a very respectable Vanilla Black Cavendish. This Virginia Gold Black Cavendish really shines as a mixer. Some of my favorite smokes have some rough edges, but if a little of VG Black Cav is included it smooths those edges and makes a great smoke. Stock up on this tobacco and cellar it, but it won't be there long because you will use it up quickly. And by the way, the price can't be beat.

Smooth, cool smoking. Quality at a reasonable price. I like the taste, and everyone around me enjoys the aroma.

Flavor,smell, cost. Awesome Will continue to order

You really can't go wrong with a pipe full of cavendish, or a good cavindish blend, for me it should be straight, but a bit of latakia addr dwouldn't hurt.

This is a very smooth (no bite) smoking cavendish tobacco, well worth the extra pipe cleanings needed due to the tobacco's moistness.

I found a 1" piece of rusted metal in the lack & Gold tobacco. I believe it was a tip of a knife blade.

Ordered Virginia Gold Black Cavendish as I really like any black cavendish. I was skeptical because of low price as to quality of smoke. I was wrong! It is a mild smoke with good flavor and very nice room note. The feature I love is there is no bite whatsoever. I use it as a blender with almost anything, and one of the nice features is its slow burning quality. I blend with Lane Vanilla Black Cavendish and 1Q, along with Smoker's Pride black cavendish. Sometimes I throw in a pinch of Half & Half also. Great smoke for the price, great to smoke alone or blend with.

NICE BURN

Great great

An Aromatic and Flavourful Tobacco.... Which produces an Elegant Yet Full Bodied Experience, that is Not Overly Robust. An Enjoyable Time will be had by all! Fr. John

Nice cool smoke. Will purchase this tobacco again.

I once bought this blend at Walgreens, but they stopped carrying it. Fortunately I discovered your firm on the internet.

Have always liked a Cavendish. Smoked smooth and finished nicely.

Surprisingly smooth, well cured, excellent for the price. Good for blends.

High quality tobacco!!!

GOOD PRODUCT FOR THE PRICE .

Decent price,mild dose not bite,very pleasant aroma

Very mild, clean burning, with NO bite.

Admirals choice for the win. Have had both vanilla and black Cavendish. Admirals choice is a great everyday smoke.

Nice arome

Admiral's Choice is my preferred brand of pipe tobacco. It's milder than most other brands and burns evenly. I'm glad that you carry it.

A very pleasing smoke, great aroma, reasonable price. My favorite blend. I smoke about 0.65 oz per day. That is several pipe loads.

My husband loves the aroma. It reminds us both of his Grandpa.

I'm a really big fan of captain black original and this is by far the closest to it. It has a really smooth taste and absolutely no bite. Super mellow and a great smoke!

I enjoy this tobacco everyday!

This is an excellent value given its low cost. A very good and moist black cavendish. Reminds me a lot of Captain Black original in fact, maybe a little more moist.

I started smoking pipes about 10 months ago (Feb.'20) and have gradually been compiling a list of tobaccos I like. Virginia Gold Black Cavendish quickly became a favorite because, like most black cavs, I can count on it to burn smoothly and not leave my tongue fried. Yes, I'm still on a learning curve re how tightly to pack my tobacco and sipping the smoke rather than chugging ...but I do prefer mellower tobaccos with less bite because I'm pretty much an all-day smoker. Virginia Gold Black Cavendish smokes well alone and is a great ingredient for blending. Recommended!

Excellent flavor with smooth taste. Pleasant aroma and smoke.

I am enjoying it very much. A good smooth smoke.

Burns evenly great room notes.

Among all the value-priced tobaccos I find that Virginia Gold is certainly among the very best. This black cavendish is my favorite. I had good memories of this tobacco from the drug store days and having tried it again after all this time was a reminder that I wasn't too far off the mark twenty years ago. It plays well with other blends and the vanilla stays with you throughout the smoke. I will always keep a bag of this around.

This is fantastic. Cool burning, no Bite, and excellent smoke all around. I ordered this as part of the "Go The Distance" Special, and this is the only one I've tried so far. But it's excellent! Maybe not as STRONG as some more flavorful blends, but Strong wasn't what I was looking for.

Outstanding! Wonderful aroma. Only kind I will ever order again.

Nice smooth smoking.

I have been smoking Sutliff tobacco for a long time and after finding this Virginia Gold Black Cavendish, man this is a really great tobacco product. I would highly recommend it to anyone from beginners to the seasoned veteran out there. The best part is that I never have to dry it out always comes ready to smoke with no bit smooth smoking and good flavor with a mild room note so even if I smoke it around my friends they like the smell. I wish I could buy it in bulk at a better price even though you can't beat the price it self.

Great tobacco, great price point, doesn't bite, smells great

In the bag reminds me of a fig newton. The smoke is nice, mellow, and has a great room note.

Love the stuff! People actually stop me on the street, and tell me how nice it smells! One of the few that smells & tastes good!

Easy burning and a smooth flavor. Was pleasantly surprised and the quality for such a low price.

I'm quite pleased with the purchase. I used to buy this at Rite-Aid, in California, but I haven't been able to find it lately. I only smoke occasionally, so I'm no expert. But this is smooth and aromatic.

Very economical. Quite acceptable alternative to more expensive blends.

Enjoying

this is my usual pipe tobacco, will continue to order it!

Mild, mildly aromatic, nice smoke

Very smooth, and no bite.

I enjoy the low cost and bulk. I especially enjoy the flavor. My only complaint is there are large stems. But for the price I can let it slide. Keep up the great work.

I smoke it straight or mix it with another black cavendish to make it a smoother smoke. Nice aroma.

Great smooth Taste

Virginia Gold Black Cavendish has been my go-to tobacco choice for quite some time now. Smooth, cool burning, nice aroma. Pleasant for me and everyone around.

Recently tried it. Was going to mix it with other, but tried it by itself. Ordering 2 more today I like it a lot. Very mild, burns nice and a great price.

A tasty smoke.

Love it. Smooth, no bite, could smoke it all day. And can't beat the price.

Good value. Smooth

Good to mix with ...can't beat the price at pipes and cigars

Great natural taste. No bite

This is a great anytime tobacco. Smooth to the last puff with no tongue bite. Highly recommend.

My pick for the price

Smooth and slow burn

I like it a lot smooth and aromatic

Right price, smooth smoke, good daily tobacco

Love it

Great smoke from the same company that makes Captain Black. A whole lot cheaper. I've bought this several times and will buy it again.

Makes me happy

Tobacco has always been good stuff, but came really dry like it was old or had been cooked in transit.

Over the years I’ve smoked several of the more expensive and we’ll know bulk brands and enjoyed them. I decided to try the Virginia Gold and been pleasantly surprised with the quality, mildness and full bodied aroma. I will be recording it again in the future.

I have enjoyed smoking this tobacco. It tastes good and has a pleasant room note. There’s no tongue bite, as long as You don’t smoke it too fast. Smoke it slow and easy and it’s a winner. My favorite & regular tobacco is called Shadow Mtn., but its only available at a B&M 200 miles from me. While not a complete replacement, I will definitely be ordering more to have around as a weekly smoke. If you like cavendish tobacco then try this one, you’ll like it too.

I'm a huge fan of black cavendish. I liked the price so I figured I would try this one. Pleasantly surprised how good it is! Smooth. Flavorful. Sweet. Wonderful aroma. My favorite blackk cav is Captain Black Dark. I judge all black cav by CB Dark. This VG might be exactly the same as the CB! They are both made by STG. I will definitely purchase this stuff again! If you love Black Cavendish like I do, but are on a budget buy this one!

Nice cavendish at a great price, I would compare it to Smoker's Pride. Anyone looking for a low cost smooth tobacco with no bite should try this tobacco.

It's a good natural blend to mix with aromatics if you like a combination that's not too sweet. Its grains are very stringy and long, requiring more effort to stuff it down into your pipe bowl without having any hanging over the side.

The Virginia Gold Black Cavendish is and "Old Friend" It is a reasonable smoke. I usual mix it with Capt. Black original(White) and it smokes very well. The cost is very reasonable also. I would recommend it to anyone that likes a light smoke with a good flavor.

Mixed 50/50 with Admiral's Choice Vanilla this tobacco gives a clean mild smoke with a pleasant aroma, does not burn hot and is moist enough to keep fresh and burn evenly.

Been smoking a pipe for about 35 years now,have tried a lot of pipe tobaccos over the years and thought I wouldn't find a tobacco I liked. I tried Virginia Gold and found the brand I like. It's nice and moist(not to moist) nice flavor and no bite for me. And the price is nice.

Liked well enough.great item,goes well with your favorite adult beverage.can bite a little.

as always pipe tobacco arrived in a timely fashion and fresh. Will continue to purchase from you. A+++++++++++++++++++ store.

The best tobacco I have ever put a flame to, just striaight out the bag, so tasty and so cool and mild__Will be ordering more this week!!!

enjoyable smoking cavendish blend, great for relaxing.

After I smoke all the expensive cavendish I bought before I tried VG black Cavendish I'll only be buying Virginia Gold Black Cavendish from here on out. It taste right to me, no funky tastes like some of the high end tobacco. Not too sweet, not flavorless like some that are like smoking hot air. Just right for my simple tastes. I mix it with a little whole leaf Virginia flue. I'm a believer.

I HAVE SMOKED THIS FOR MANY YEARS

This is outstanding quality Cavendish: burns slowly, has awesome aroma, no mouth bite, delicious flavor. I bought a bag for a friend and he makes the same comments as above. Buy it with confidence.

Very good tobacco.

Smooth even smoke from start to finish. Great everyday all day smoke.

I find it a great quality of tobacco, and I use it as a blend with other tobaccos and enjoy the smoke.

It is a very smooth smoking tobacco. I will seriously consider purchasing more.

Good for the price,

Not up to par with comparable and same price brands!

Excellent tobacco. Mild, with no bite.Buy

One of the best smoking black Cavendish tobaccos I've found. Comparable to Carey's Classic Black and a much lower price.

This a relaxing and mild smoke. My wife and neighbors enjoy the aroma.

All day and evening smoke. Slow burner and not hot

Little dry, good flavor.

Excellent tobacco. great for everyday use.

The best Aadmiral's Choice is the Vanilla, but I like variety, and this one provides a quality second cjoice. It is both well-flavored and smooth. You may think it's Admiral's Choices best; you definitely like it.

One of the better AC. I actually like them all. Gives a deep smokey "tobaccoish" taste time to time.

This taste and smelled horrible. After trying to smoke it three times i throw the complete bag away. I would never recommend this to anyone!

Greecy and smell bad

It's ok not my first choice

I blended Virginia Gold Black Cavendish with Smokers Pride Mello Taste and ended up with a smoothe nice blend I’m using as my all day tobacco. Great burn, smoothe taste, great room presence. An inexpensive alternative for an all day smoke.

Cassandra was extremely patient and took whatever time was necessary to locate our order and also advise us exactly when it would arrive. She was exactly correct, we received our order and truly appreciate her professionalism and help with our order. Thank you Cassandra!

Smokes hot

Likes this and quite a bit more reasonable than big brands

Been smoking it for the last 10 years. A smooth slow burning tobacco that has a very pleasant aroma.

A nice blend that can be enjoyed as a stand-alone or used with aros as a 50/50 mix...

very sweet and does not leave too much smell

I wanted "black and gold" but with this i can make my own! go halfsies, or put a quarter part of some dried out pouch scraps with three parts black or add one part black to three quarters of a robust aromatic so it won't be too harsh. or just have it by it's self to cleanse a pipe like pipe sweetener, this stuff is sweet and mellow

great flavor, nice and smooth. Every time I open the bag it reminds me of playing when I was a kid, in the tobacco drying barn of my uncles farm.

Good for blending, as good as any other generic.

cheaper to order through you even with shipping than the store. Easy to order. Will continue and may convince him to try something else.

Don't be fooled by the reviews. This is not BCA, it's better. Love right out of the bag or mixed with other blends. It improves the over the counter blends to. I won't be without it.

This is my go to smoke I tend to smoke hard and this tobacco smokes cool without bite I tend to choose others when i slow down for a nice enjoyable smoke.

Virginia Gold Black Cavendish... I bought it thinking it just might be a slightly less expensive tobacco that was comparable to Lanes BCA.. Close.... so very close but no cigar.. It is a good.... actually acceptable substitute however it has a wee bit more bite and a bit sharper taste.. An acceptable substitute for BCA if you cannot get BCA, but it is not equal to BCA..

Very nice aroma and enjoyed by others when I light up. Seems to require less relighting than many other tobaccos I smoke.

Using lg boxes to ship a tobacco pouch instead of a mailing envelope doesn't seem correct.

This is a good black cav.. not great.. Comparing this to Lane BCA is a long reach to the moon. This does not bite. It has minimum taste and flavor. I will go back to Lane BCA.

GREAT SERVICE AND PRODUCTS. EVERYTHING OK.

One of my favorite blending black cavendishes. Smooth light with a great flavor.

The natural cavendish works nice mixed with the cherry cavendish 50/50.

i'll probably get through it,but if i'd had some warning about that'Vanilla' thing, I would have ordered something else.

This was a gamble, but it paid off. Thus comes pretty moist, so some drying time was in order. I spread out the whole bag on two paper towels and covered it with another two, taped the edges down, and put a fan on it on low for several hours. Not bad by itself...but add in 10-15% of Stokkebye Perique and it becomes a wonderfully flavorful, all day type smoke with a great aroma. I have never been much into aromatics, but this blended with Perique is excellent. No bite, just take it slowly. Already reordered.

This is a reorder of a favorite!

Good blending and daily smoke; nothing outstanding; solid and reliable

This was a pleasant surprise for me. I tried it and found I like it so I purchased more.

Not bad. No preservative bite, but my preference for discount is smokers pride. Just my opinion.

It has an odd smell, like dirty laundry or sweaty workmen. It's basically tasteless except for the sweat. This Admiral should be lost at sea.

By far my favorite tobacco. Can't believe the price as well. I purchased alongside some Sutliff black cordial and maple walnut, as well as some Peter Stokkebyes peaches and cream (all highly rated tobacco). At the end of the day none of the others even came close for me. This cavendesh is superb in all aspects (flavor, aroma, texture) and burns smooth when rolled up. Burns great in my pipe. Bout to purchase this again and stop trying other brands entirely. Found what I needed right away and can not beat the price. So tasty indeed!

today i received my second bag i just love the flavor nice and smooth smoke never bites has a good slow burn order this you cant go wrong if you like a mild smoke this is the one

i was amazed how smooth the smoke was there is no bite you dont get that burned feeling on your lips it burns real smooth i went and ordered another bag yesterday am very pleased with this brand order a bag you wont be disappointed nice and mellow

No tongue bite. Burns really nice. This is my everyday smoke. LOVE IT!

I have smoked this and similar mixes for years. I occasionally try something else , recently, an analog of Edgeworth, which my father smoked. This cavendish is not a very sophisticated mixture, but I like it!

I bought this to blend into some other inexpensive tobaccos, have not smoked it straight. At this price range it is quite good, not too wet or sweet. It adds a nice aroma to the straight burley/virginia mix I smoke during the day. One bag will last me quite awhile, but when empty I will buy more.

Outstanding black cavendish blend First time I've tried it.Great for blending or smoking straight.Mild, nice room note, and literally no bite.Can't beat the price and service from P&C either.If you like black cavendish, try it!

I really like all of the Admiral's Choice blends. The Natural is a nice, easy smoking blend. It's straightforward, and has a distinct flavor, but does not taste too "fancy", like some aromatics.

Taste great, smokes smooth, stays lit, burns slow, smells good, and inexpensive; what more could you want.

Taste good, smooth, lights easy, slow burning and smells good; what more could you want.

Good smoke. One of the best of the black value priced Cavendish. I find the all black Cavendish the best burning and room note of all the low-med priced tobacco. Burns cool than others mixed with burley tobacco.

Thanks for the quick shipment and the fresh product, P & C. I won't bore you with the wonderful smoking qualities of this tobacco but I'll say this, if you want a mild , flavorful, non-biting black cav, stock up on this one. It's better than 1Q for blending and I smoke it in all my pipes too. All around best in my book.

made by Lane- super great tobacco at low price. BCA is BCA- don't overpay.

not great

Great price, quality, real Cavendish. I smoke a lot and I have a real problem with the tongue bite even after I pre-dry it which takes a while because I believe is a true Cavendish, not the suger water rip off style. Would be perfect for a casual smoker!!

I have been smoking this tobacco for several years (used to buy it when it was available at the local drugstore). It is a slow burning tobacco which you can smoke all day without a problem. Receive lots of comments on how good it smells. The price is several dollars below what I used to pay at the drug store, and I have had numerous pipe smokers ask where I got it. A win, win!

I am just finishing up a 9oz bag of the Virginia Gold Black Cavendish and found it to be a very mild, slightly sweet smoke. The tobacco was very moist and fresh, which I liked, and did not dry it out but enjoyed it the way it came. This was the first time I had tried a black tobacco and was very pleased. I will be trying others since I have ordered the Dark Side Black Cavendish Sampler and am glad I ordered the Virginia Gold as an introduction. Edward H

good cut and taste. I'll be back.

This is my favorite day to day smoke so far! Pleasant on its own, and enjoyable blended or aged in a jar with brandy or rum. :) Easily suggested for others!

I have smoked this tobacco over the years and have always enjoyed it. Being a senior citizen without a lot of financial resources I look for the best value at the lowest cost, this is in that category.

I have tried all of admirals except cherry(I hate any cherry flavored tobac). I personally like them for the money and include on most of my orders.

This is my favorite pipe tobacco blend. It has consistent quality, awesome taste and is a great value. Admiral's Choice is # 1 in my book!

Good with mixer wet by itself tastes and smokes great

I have enjoyed Admiral's Choice Natural Cavendish for over 30 years and was glad to find P&C as a convenient supplier.

very nice for the price

Excellent as is. And, this is my go to tobacco for blending. Mixed with Lane 1-Q or Daughters & Ryan Penhooker makes for an excellent aromatic.

Excellent as is. And, this is my go to tobacco for blending. Mixed with Lane 1-Q or Daughters & Ryan Penhooker makes for an excellent aromatic.

Smooth and slow burning it my go to smoke.

I am pleased with the value and taste

Very mild flavor, quite a pleasant tobacco.

Exactly as stated. A 'natural' Cavendish. I have others I prefer, but smoke this one to two times a day. Mix in a little Black Cavendish, and it is really good. Try some and decide for yourself. A this price, it's a steal.

This is by far the best pipe tobacco I have smoked. I agree with all the 5 star reviews and could add more positives. I have had zero problems, so there are no negatives. I think that if I had no 'lucked onto' this wonderful tobacco, I would have given up smoking a pipe. I have smoked and tried many other pipe tobaccos, Virginia Gold Black Cavendish is my only excellent choice.

i have smoked this for many years. Great value

A very good, smooth, and inexpensive smoke. I really enjoy it.

Very good tobacco although would not smoke straight out of most be mixed with a filler because this is extremely moist

the product is consisant quality and the price is right that is why I buy this product.

Loved this tobacco. Great aroma and lots of smoke. Great mild/med. Excellent by itself but intend to do some blending with this. Should do well for that purpose also. For the price it really doesn't get much better. Thanks again to P&C, the web site is easy to navigate and tons of great tobaccos!

Wonderful for blending or right out of the pouch. This is a mild flavored, no biting inexpensive blend which should be in everyone's humidor. Is there any better? I have tried many and as yet haven't found any which are close. Very satisfying smoke that's easy on the wallet. I can smoke this all day.

This is an inexpensive blending tobacco and as such, works very well. I waited two months while it aged and dried an it was a decent smoke. Right out of the pack, it's a tad harsh and prone to bite viciously. I won't purchase this again.

Great smoke! Nice aroma, and a nice everyday smoke, great for the price.

Great smoke! I smoke it everyday when I get home and find it very enjoyable!

Really moist great tastes no bite and works well mixing with cig tobacco

great taste with value for the price need carbon filters this tobacco is moist

Mild and bite free

Great everyday smoke! I enjoy it after a hard day! A great way to unwind and reflect on the day.

Excellent tobacco at a very low price. Buy some and use it for blending or smoke it with out.

my husband loves it nice and mellow!

good service

Very smooth - keeps moist - pleasant aroma

excellent cavendish tobacco, smooth smoking & smooth burning.

For the price this is a wonderful, flavorful smoke ... Really hard to beat a deal like this ....

This is perhaps my favorite value blend. I was pleasantly suprised by the subtle flavor and no re-lights! Excellent value and delicious smoke. Thanks P & C

I'm not exactly a newbie pipe smoker, but it has been a long time since I've smoked out of a pipe. I find this black Cavendish to be incredibly smooth and a thoroughly satisfying smoke. The aroma is very intoxicating even right out of the bag. Nice nutty notes with a hint of chocolate and slight caramel. For the price it absolutely cannot be beat!

very enjoyable

Excellent Quality. Excellent Value.

No longer able to purchase my husbands choice of tobacco localy but Pipes and Cigars has filled the gap . Thank you .
