Missouri Meerschaum: Taste of Temptation 1.5oz Pipe Tobacco

...if this is what Cherry flavored tobaccos are. Today was my "hey, let's try all of my Cherry Blends day." I recently started piping in mid January 2024. I've collected near 100 blends since then. Of those, in the Cherry realm, I have: Cobblestone Indulge: Cherry Delight _ Paladin: Wild Cherry _ Missouri Meerschaum (by Sutliff): Taste of Temptation _ Missouri Meerschaum: Great Dane _ Sillem's: Red _ Peter Stokkebye: PS3 Cherry. And I am awaiting a delivery of Cult: Blood Red Moon. Today I managed to try them all except for Great Dane and, of course, Blood Red Moon for not receiving it yet. The only one of these I can tolerate is PS3 Cherry. Mostly because the flavoring is subtle...I suppose. This one, Taste of Temptation, I nearly threw out both tins of it. I did throw out one of two tins of Cobblestone: Cherry Delight. This blend, and the others, I will give another try on some other day. While trying to properly smoke these cherry aromatic blends correctly. Today was a brutal day...the worst one of my short piping era. *Update-some other day came today* Today I retried those I tried yesterday. And as of right now my Cherry blends rank as such: #1: Missouri Meerschaum-Great Dane (be leaps and hounds) _ #2: Sillem's: Red _ #3: PS3 Cherry _ #4: Taste of Temptation _ #5: Paladin-Black Cherry _ #6: Cobblestone-Cherry Delight. Cult-Blood Red Moon is yet to arrive. So I upgraded my 1.5 Star rating of yesterday to 3.0 today. Putting it on the fence; to buy or not to buy...again. Would've been a 3.5, but to enjoy it I had to hold my lips as though I was whistling. Place the pipe at 45° near the opening during the intake. Doing so delivered a mild chocolate taste with cherry on the back end. Any other breathe method produced only a tart tangy bite. I'll be trying these all again and again over the next few weeks. So we'll see if my Star rating goes ↑ or ↓ ... but for the price of T of T, I would take two pouches of Great Dane over this one any day....Read More

Tin note of amaretto, cherry and brown sugar. Tobacco is a ribbon cut of light brown, brown and a little black. Moisture content is ok, most people will need to dry it a bit. Burns slow with a few relights. The strength is mild to medium and nic is mild. Flavoring is mild to medium, with notes of cherry and amaretto. Amaretto is the stronger of the flavors and dips to background territory withing the first 1/4. Cherry starts and remains in the background. Taste is mild to medium and moderately consistent, with notes of amaretto, wood, spices, bread, mild cherry, brown sugar, graham crackers, tart and tangy citrus, sweet grass/hay, almost creamy, earthy, savory, nutty, a stewed ripe fruit background note, and a smooth retro. Cavendish is leading with Flavoring and Virginia supporting. Room note is pleasant, and aftertaste is good....Read More

This is a very solid smoking aromatic. The flavors are more subtle than I expected, which was great because you don't end up with an artificial taste in your mouth. The cherry seemed very natural -even to the point of pleasantly tart, blending very well with the black cavendish. The amaretto is definitely there as well, and blends very well with the Virginias. All in all what got me most about this one was the balance of flavors. It's distinct, almost subtle, and noteworthy. In no way overpowering. Well worth the limited release and worth any fan of aromatics trying....Read More

Tastes like Cult Blood Red Moon with amaretto added. Flavor is nice and consistent through the whole bowl with a pleasing retrohale taste. Can be a bit bitey if you push it chasing the flavor, but I suppose that goes for all cherry blends. Not over powering cherry taste, decently balanced.

love it
