BLACK NOTE – CAVENDISH (SONATA) 60ML

Savor the Aromatic & Naturally Sweet Tobacco Flavor Taste offered by Cavendish, a distinct process applied to Virginia tobacco rather than a specific type of tobacco. Dark, ripe Virginia tobacco leaves undergo a meticulous process involving steam treatment and oak-barrel curing, resulting in a brilliantly intense and richly flavored tobacco. The origin of Cavendish is surrounded by intriguing tales, one of which suggests Sir Thomas Cavendish infused tobacco with dark rum during a journey in 1585.

Another tale revolves around an accidental wetting of fire-cured Virginia tobacco barrels on Lord Cavendish's ship, resulting in black, aromatic tobacco after weeks of hot summer weather. This over-fermentation process, involving fresh water decomposition of natural sugar without allowing mold growth, created a distinctive black and highly aromatic tobacco known as Cavendish, marking its serendipitous discovery and historical significance. Note that this unique process is only effective with fresh water, as tobacco dampened by saltwater is irreversibly damaged.
