Amphora Black Cavendish

Not your typical drugstore blend.

Any time tobacco comes in a pouch, or is widely available, people tend to assume it is somehow lower in quality. Now you and I know that’s not true. Just because something is popular, doesn’t mean it’s bad. And I can rattle off a long list of high-quality pouch tobaccos. Today, that list grows even longer, because I can include Amphora Black Cavendish. 

Amphora Black Cavendish is one of the latest blends to return to the US. This is not a 100% black Cavendish but a mixture made of Virginia-based black Cavendish, Kentucky Burleys and Orientals. Amphora Black Cavendish is full-bodied and spicy but still has notes of sweetness to round it out. The Kentucky Burleys will add body and nutty characteristics but with the mixture of other tobaccos you will get a cool, dry smoke with a distinct room note and tons of flavor.
