Good question. With stoving you have one half of the equation to make a Cavendish - heat; making Cavendish also requires pressure. The coloration of the stoved tobacco does look more (darker) like cavendish tobacco does, but still retains Virginia's characteristic flavor, it just takes away some of the raw edges (harshness and heat) of the smoke. I think it is slightly sweeter too. Stoving is a way to artificially hasten the process that occurs over time - aging.
