Here I go just guessing again (didn't do me so well on the Flue Cured thread), but for a mild recipe I would try starting with:

2% FA Virginia tobacco flavoring
2% FA Burley tobacco flavoring
3% FA Vanilla Bourbon
1% FA Coconut

You could also add 2-3% PA Cotton Candy (ethyl maltol).

Here's what my guessing is based on:
The Wiki article says Cavendish is usually made from Virginia and/or Burley tobacco.
The Black Cavendish I remember is mild, somewhat sweet and has a vanilla top note.

If you were making a small 3mL batch, the recipe would be:

2 drops (0.06mL) FA Virginia tobacco flavoring
2 drops (0.06mL) FA Burley tobacco flavoring
3 drops (0.09mL) FA Vanilla Bourbon
1 drop (0.03mL) FA Coconut
92 drops (2.76mL) total base

Think I'll try this one myself and see what it turns out like.

Tried it this morning and it's pretty good. Still needs some more steeping time but I'm taking it to work with me today.

Instead of using flavoring straight from the bottle, I used premade Virginia and Burley single-flavor tobacco juices in order to eliminate a long steeping time. Flavor concentration in the test batch came out to 1.8% for each of these. Both are 50/50 base.

I made a second, larger batch.

edit: I just now split the second batch. There's one 3mL bottle of the original recipe and the remaining 3mL now has 3 drops of PA Bavarian Creme addded to it.
