First pipe tobacco I ever smoked

Boy am I glad I found this site. It's a wonder I wasn't turned away from pipe smoking forever. I bought this and a corncob at a liquor store to dip my toes in and see if pipe smoking was for me. Luckily I got impatient and dove in headfirst anyway; having already placed an order for a Peterson and some Quiet Nights, Nightcap and Lane 1-Q. Had it been just for this alone I would have walked away for good. It is the fakest most artificial cherry flavor I've ever tasted. It's like gargling with Robitussin, as it leaves that saccharine/aspartamey taste in your throat long after you've finished your pipe. My desire to take up this new endeavor was so great it enabled me to tolerate smoking through half the bag until my order arrived with nothing but hope driving me forward. I was so relieved to find that it got better. So much better; and the rest of the bag went in the trash. It did give me PTSD though and it scared me away from aromatics for over a year and a half. I will never ever try a cherry-flavored tobacco again thanks to this. The flashbacks would be too terrifying....Read More

It's not bad, but it's HEAVY on the syrup smell and taste. There are many cherry blends out there i prefer over this one it was also a little bitey.

Light not always present cherry taste I’d go for blood red moon over this every single time

A classic old blend. It produces columns of rich smoke. It's a mellow crowd pleaser type blend. A bit sweet and has a bit of cherry flavor. Smoke it slow and easy.

I've had an odd mix of really wet and so dry it crumbles. The cherry isn't overpowering and is more on the "dark cherry" side which makes it pleasant. Doesn't bite too badly but it will get you if you don't go slowly.
Not for Human Consumption

Alright. I’m gonna say it. This tobacco has no place in a connoisseur’s cellar. The smell of artificial, medicinal cherry is nauseating from the bag. And, like many others have said, when smoked it almost always gives tongue bite. The aroma is pungent, and not in a hood aromatic way. Imagine burning medicine, and you’ll come somewhere close to what this monstrosity smells like. One can barely taste the cherry with all of the tongue irritation, either. This is one of the worst tobacco’s I have ever tried. I will not be buying another bag....Read More
No real redeeming quality

If you want to smoke a CB blend every other one is much better. If you want to smoke a cherry aromatic any other cherry blend I have tried has been much better.

I'm a bit puzzled by all the negative reviews for this tobacco, I've tried many over the years and this is far and away my favourite. Wife loves the smell while I'm puffing , so a win both ways.

This smells like the cherry old timers smoked. Very distinct, very noticeable. So much so that you may need to keep the pouch in a zip lock bag. That may not appeal to some, but I prefer a bold flavor/smell as opposed to something subtle.

First, if you're a cherry lover, here are three blends that are vastly superior: Cult Blood Red Moon, McLintock Black Cherry, and Gawith Hoggarth & Co American Black Cherry. I like Cpt Black, but this smells like cherry flavored medicine and has a chemical taste to it. Cannot recommend....Read More
