For Black Cavendish lovers....no haters please

I'd been thinking how much I enjoy black cavendish throughout the day - easy on the tongue through multiple pipes and just sweet enough to satisfy me. Lane VBC tops my list so far, but I have really grown to like unflavored/lightly cased BC almost as much. Any nominees for some top of the line BC's y'all enjoy?

For those of us (me) who have never tried BCA, how about a review?
(Man, making recommendations gives me the willies)
BCA and RLP-6 were my first two tobaccos, I love them both. I have lots of different kinds of tobacco 4 oz. each. I have at least one pound of BCA, and at least a pound of RLP-6. BCA to me is smooth vanilla and whiskey, some caramel, maybe some light cocoa. Smokes cool, good flavor, great room note. RLP-6 is less vanilla, more whiskey and caramel. At least, that is what I get from them.
I will have to try this "Barbados Plantation" you speak of. I have 8-10 Sutliff Private Stock blends but not that one. Most of the others have a "chemical/candle" taste to me. I do like the Moulin Rouge.....I think it is called Cabaret Rouge now. Tobaccoreviews.com says Cabaret Rouge is a "cousin" to Molto Dolce.
I bought some Borkum Riff Limited Edition “Trinidad Rum”. Now, I like rum, specifically Meyers Jamaican Dark Rum, but the Borkum Riff was pretty cigarette harsh. It has been sitting in the mason jar for 4-5 years, maybe I will try it again soon. Some age may have made it better?
If you like rum (and it's the only hard liquor I drink) you'll adore Sutliff's Barbados Plantation.
My rum:
I have not tried that Rum. Makers Mark and Yukon Jack are some of my favorite liquors, unless I can get some Bookers or George T. Stag. (bourbons).
I've been drinking Jonah's Curse for two years now. For a cheaper rum it was a very nice surprise! Very nice nose, with strong notes of banana, vanilla, and burnt caramel, and a little spiciness in there too. The taste is a rich and smooth. But it is VERY sweet. If you prefer to stay on the dryer side, this is not for you! I prefer it on rocks with a squeeze of lemon.
