Sutliff Black Swan tin (black cavendish) has been sitting on a shelf in the garage for a week, so I finally put some in a pipe and tried it. Very smooth and a pleasant taste and aroma. Having smoked many brands of black cav, I would have to say it was good, but if memory serves me well, E A Carey's had a better aroma and a bit more taste. The Black Swan was a tad drier and kept lit better though.
