For Cherry Jubilee, C&D uses a unique flavoring of wild cherries on their traditional Cavendish base for a blend unlike any other. You might well begin to think of your favorite pipe as a chafing dish!
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... Read More 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.

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 religh... Read Moret only a couple of times but that's the only thing 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. Read Less
