Dark Cherry Cavendish
Smoking Pipes rating : 2.6

This ribbon cut aromatic is actually visually stunning. It looks beautiful, is consistent , and moisture level was perfect. It is comprised of Virginia, burley, and black cavendish.

Sampled for t
wo bowls in a MM Huck Finn (previously seasoned).

Ah - the upside down experience I had with the Cherry Jubilee has righted itself - now I am back to a cherry blend that tastes like industrial cleaning product.

Here’s the bitch with cherry blends - 99% of the time they smell so good in the bag. Here’s this blend said “I’m in the 1%” and smelled like a chemical cherry solvent , while not as bad as BRM, but still very industrial.

Two bowls were all I could take here. And what’s weird is the light up was an assault of the bio-cheryyical warfare agent - then it went away. I had hope. But alas , retro hale and post smoke aftertaste are a sad reminder of what I went through, like finding a picture of your ex on top of the fridge when you’re moving out of the apartment you shared. There was hope. Maybe even some infatuation. But in the end just sadness and regret.

Second bowl , or as I’ve come to think of it as the “clouds and ash” bowl - I could push some billowing smoke from it , and oddly where usually this would hurt a flavor profile here for me , the self recognitized hater of cherry blends in general , I was surprised it kinda “cooked off” the cherry and I could get a little bit of the base Virginia and burley. But why walk through shit to pick an apple if you can just walk beside the fence ?

Not a fan. Sure some folks are. Probably a top ten seller. But if it is your jam, rest easy knowing I will never be standing between you and another ounce of this.

My rating : 1 - I never (ever ever) want to have this blend again.

*By the way, this marks 10% of the blends checked so far. This is the 10th of 101 , and I only have one more to go that was rated by sub 3.0.

I have really appreciated the comments and messages so far , and hope you are enjoying these silly personal reviews, too.

Smells like old lady perfume

Product: Cornell & Diehl Dark Cherry Cavendish 2oz
This has a horrible smell out of the tin if you ask me. I tend to enjoy the smell of a good cherry pipe tobacco, but this is just too strong and too floral smelling. It reminds me of Oil of Old Lady. Possibly if I mix this in as a light topping with some burly or something it might tame the smell down....Read More
Good for starters.

I'm new to pipe smoking. Am more of a bold, strong, complex flavored guy myself. Got this for my Dad who was looking for some cherry, berry type of smoke. As I smoked it once or twice, I can say that it's pleasant. The cherry smells and taste a bit artificial. But otherwise it's good If you're looking for some cherry flavored smoke, it's there....Read More

I am not going to blow any smoke up your behind. This is a cherry Cavendish. It’s not trying to be fancy it’s not trying to be special it is what it is. But, the one thing it is not, is cloyingly sweet. Most cherry blends are over-the-top pungent, goopy And often loaded with a chemical sort of aftertaste. This actually tastes like dark cherry fruit and it’s very good. Is it strong? yes. Is it over the top strong like most drugstore cherry flavored pipe tobacco? Absolutely not. It’s strong without being too strong. But the amazing thing is the flavor actually is Real fruit. If you like cherry buy a pound of this stick it in mylar vacuum seal it stick it in your cellar....Read More

On its own, this blend is pretty bland, and even the tin note is subtle. I like to combine it with C&D Dark Chocolate for a great smoke!

With few exceptions (like GL Peases’s blends) I am not a fan of C&D blends. Dark cherry is one such example. The additive is so mild that many pipes miss it entirely. And when you finally taste it, it tastes entirely artificial. To be honest, I don’t like many aromatics, but if iteren’t for the cavendish, there would be nothing of interest here. Strange to say, it ghosts pipes horribly. So after a few pipefuls the ghost accomplishes what the blend didn’t now you can taste the cherry! But this didn’improve my opinion....Read More

This is a mild flavourful tobacco which burned evenly. I paired it with a glass of red Merlot wine and smoked it on a slow Sunday evening on my porch. It gave me a great pleasure to smoke this wonderful tobacco. However, in my opinion, you have to be a seasoned smoker to appreciate the bold taste of this tobacco....Read More
Where is the cherry?

Nice middle of the road blend, but I can barely taste the cherries, if at all.

My take on this is that it is a mild-to-moderate Virginia / Burley blend with just a very slight touch of cherry flavor added. The Va's are the most prominent flavor, but the burley is present too - the cherry is just in the background. Nicotine was moderate to me, more than most aromatics. There are better Va blends, and better cherry aromatics, but it's nice to have something that straddles the line when I don't want a full aromatic, or a stronger Va blend. And I suspect others will like the room note better than a straight Va-Bur blend. Worth trying an ounce....Read More
