Cherry Jubilee
Smoking Pipes Rating : 2.3

This ribbon cut aromatic is actually “pretty” - being a very uniform cut with perfect moisture and is comprised of Virginia.

Sampled 4 bowls from a new unsmoked MM Huck Finn.

This blend , the 7th
so far , is very important in validating my decision to take the project on. Why? Because otherwise I would have never even given it a chance, much less made it a purchase.

Established already, I am no fan of fruity aromatics. I actively dislike a particular strain - in my experience so far - cherry blends. All too often they have a grossly heavy artificial taste. Think of a fresh cherry , candy candy and cherry medicine - all are different. And most blends to me fall in the area between candy and medicine - not a profile I care for.

However there have been two cherry blends I do like - 30 odd years ago when 18 years old, I would go to the Mutual Drug store in my little town and buy a white pasteboard box , within was a foil bag of Middleton Cherry. I smoked many a bowl in a couple Dr. Grabow pipes and while I didn’t love love it, I liked it. In the current era, I also like Dark Cherry Rope from the Gawith line.

That said , the reason this validates the experience - this blend delightfully did something no other cherry I’ve tried has done - reminded me of that old box of Middleton Cherry. Now I’m sure suddenly someone is clutching thier pearls saying “Bullshit!” And maybe deservedly - but it’s my experience, my opinion and end the end I have to live with it , not the pearl cluthing naysayer.

So - to the bowls - it’s nice. Warm. Glad it’s not a syrup bomb. Smoke can be prolific if pushed - in the high humidity condition of smoking in my truck during a rain, it was pure cloudy.

Tight packs equal more sweetness. I’d wager it could bite if your a freight train , but it didn’t bother me.

I like this enough it is noted for my next bulk order. Not a huge amount , but a half pound will probably suffice me for a very long time given how infrequently I’m accustomed to reaching for cherry blends.

(Side note - I kind of want to mix this into a Balkan. Don’t know why. But the urge is there and maybe when I’m done with the next 300 or so bowls this project requires I’ll try it .)

My rating: 4- this is good - I’m ordering some to have around when I am ordering something else

(This is the 7th of the 101 C&D bulk blends I am reviewing, based on thier SP rating, from lowest to highest.)

As a novice pipe smoker I'm usually drawn to aromatics for their unobtrusive room notes and pleasant mild taste. I had high hopes for this particular blend but was downright disappointed.
It was definitely not goopy since I actually had to relight only a couple of times but that's the only thi
ng going for this blend.
After just 10 minutes of smoking I found the taste and smell unbearable. It was as if I was smoking a cigarette or a cheap cigar. Before I knew it the nicotine hit me in an undesirable way and tongue bite was intolerable. I tried to make it through half the bowl but just had to quit on it. Bottomline is if you're looking to chase some cherry flavor look somewhere else. Blood Red Moon is superior to this aromatic in every way.

Wait For It...

OK I am not a big aromatic smoker. This does have a good flavor, but when smoking I did not taste the cherry. Maybe I pushed it too hard, maybe it's from the Irish Flake I had earlier...but the strangest thing happened...after I finished the 1/2 bowl I suddenly was hit with a burst of delightful cherry on my palette...maybe it should age a bit...I always worry about what the flavoring agent is and this didn't say...but it's a change from the English and will be an occasional smoke. I was ready to give this a really bad review until the cherry hit me, but only after I finished smoking and emptied the bowl....So, wait for it...this may grow on me yet...
Worth a try? Yes...the other reviews were 1 star at best...it is what it is...if you think you're going to get cherry candy you'll be disappointed. I'll let it age and try it again. But for now, I'm not disappointed, the delayed effect was interesting. After aging if the flavor does not come out I will hit it with a little cherry brandy....I do want that cherry hit as a change of pace...I have not tried Boswell's cherry aromatic yet, it is a big seller for him.

Nasty stuff, glad I only tried an oz. Bad bite, smokes wet, little to no cherry.
