4noggins Bulk: EVENING CORDIAL

A black cavendish lovers dream.

I was given a four bowl sample of Evening Cordial as part of a recent 4 Noggins order so is review is based on that small sample. I like aromatic tobacco as a change of pace, but it is rare for me to like a straight Black Cavendish blend. Evening Cordial is an exception. Like most aromatics, it arrived too wet to smoke and needs a little dry time. The pouch aroma is mainly chocolate and I couldn’t detect a pouch scent of cherry. Once properly dried, EC provides a sweet chocolate smoke and the cherry makes itself known in a good way. It didn’t goop up the bowl, but due to it being a straight Black Cavendish with a fair amount of casing, it should be smoked slowly for the best result. It stays sweet and tasty throughout the bowl and has no chemical taste or bitterness. Great job from 4 Noggins!

Evening Cordial is an exceptional and captivating aromatic. I wish I'd discovered it thirty years ago when I smoked aromatics exclusively. There's definitely a strong aroma of chocolate and the smoke is lusciously sweet. This isn't strong in the nicotine department but it is very smooth. Even if you don't smoke aromatics this is a great tobacco to have on hand for blending. That's what I intend to do. Needs some drying time.
