Not a chemical aromatic

Going into my rotation. Learned to love this one, does have Lakeland so not for everyone. This is a great Virginia aromatic, retrohale that cherry hinted flavour. If you are looking for something like a cherry otc this is not it. Recommend for those who generally enjoy VaPers and Aromatic tobaccos....Read More

High quality tobacco, with cherry and Lakeland essences that do not overwhelm. This is what an aromatic tobacco should be.

Of all the strongly aromatic GH flakes, this is my favorite. When I want a strong dose of added flavoring but I don't want sickly sweet, I reach for this. It doesn't taste anything like the artificial cherry flavoring found in the majority of cherry pipe blends. As with all Lakeland blends, it's hard to discern exactly what's going on in terms of the sources of the flavors, but the creaminess could be vanilla bean. Also like all Lakeland flakes, there is a lot going on here flavor-wise, but it combines and makes a cohesive flavor that's very pleasant. The flavor of this flake is unique even by GH standards, and nearly impossible for me to put into words. It is floral, not it's not soapy, it's sweet, but not a sugary sweet. It's a very well-balanced aromatic Virginia flake that manages to pack a ton of flavor but still allows the tobacco flavor past the menagerie of toppings. Its nicotine level is just below medium, and it produces very little to no tongue bite. This one isn't as sweet as Ennerdale Flake. For me it's the Goldilocks zone for a Lakeland aromatic—plenty of added flavor, but not so much as to overshadow the tobacco entirely (not counting the unscented flakes, which have just a wisp of the hallmark flavor). Certainly worth a try for the adventurous piper, and a must-try for fans of this great company....Read More
Great Virginia Meets a Subtle Cherry Aromatic

When you're not fully invested in having a bowl of Escudo, but you want something more substantial than a cherry aromatic, this is the go to. G&H has a quality Virginia mixed with a subtle and enjoyable cherry casing. It's not a blast of cherry, but a subtle, background cherry flavor. If you enjoy cherry aromatics, and you enjoy Virginias/VaPers, you'll enjoy this flake....Read More
Lakeland Aromatic

This aromatic is a sweet Virginia blend. It was good, burned reasonably well. But I’ll definitely age it a bit.
The cherry aroma prior to smoking was subtle but present, but after I lit up there was no hint of cherry, just some burning Virginia leaf. This was a decent (if bland) aromatic.
I mu
st say, however, I’m definitely not a fan of Lakeland essence. It unfortunately has a vomit aroma to me....Read More
A New Go-To

I was only gonna buy a little bit to try because I'm not a fan of most aromatics, but I do love cherry flavored just about everything so I thought I would try. I was amazed to find out that this is a real cherry flavor, not a fake cough syrup flavor. The flavoring is also subtle and these Gawith Aromatics seem to be a lot different from the "goopy"aro's you normally see. I haven't been able to yet but I plan on stocking up on this blend and making it my go to! Also, from experience, don't let this stuff dry out long!...Read More
Pretty good

One of the few cherry blends i can enjoy. The flavor is not a normal in your face cherry, it's more of a tobacco flavor with a hint of smooth cherry. I didn't air mine out first like I should have. I thought it seemed ready to smoke but it could use some drying, it seemed like it wanted to bite. Overall I can see cherry fans enjoying this blend, it's nice....Read More

It's about 9 am, and I rarely drink alcohol so I'm not drunk, just so you don't think "This guy must be drunk" as you read my review! I did enjoy this tobacco but I had a hard time identifying the flavor I was getting. First puff was fruity, with a slight tobacco taste. As I smoked and tried to figure out just what I thought I was tasting, everything from a Papayaish, Banannaish, even a little Cantaloupeish taste was what made up the Creamy essence, to a Concord Grapeish, Cherryish, Plumish taste made up the fruity flavor. I kept thinking this is very tropical. Very Good! I think a good name for this tobacco would be "Tropical Delight" Totally enjoyable, Smooth and Delicious. Seriously! I'm not drunk and I don't think I crazy? But I do know good tobacco and this is Good Tobacco!...Read More
Cherry, Cherry?

If you're looking for cherry you're in the wrong place. G&H tobacco has never been an 'in your face' type of blend. I smoked a bowl of this tonight and I must say that it had more tobacco taste than cherry. From working in the industry, I knew what to expect and G&H did not let me down. Is this a sweet blend? Hell no. Is it aromatic? Yes, in a very subtle sense. I liked this. Would I smoke it everyday? Nope. If you're an aromatic smoker looking to branch out a bit and try some 'real' tobacco (I mean that in the nicest way) then give this one a go. You may like it as well as your spouse (if you have one) If you don't have one, then go ahead. (I'm channeling Yogi Berra tonight) M...Read More
For seasoned palates

I first tried this tobacco when I was novice pipe smoker and had no palate. I couldn't even figure out why this had the word cherry in its name. Three years later (today), I tried it again, and though I'm still far from an expert, I've built up a palate, and I find this blend to be delightful. I really didn't smell anything like cherries when I opened the bag, but its flavor is great. It's not like any other cherry blend I've smoked. The flavor isn't candyish. The cherry is subtle and more real tasting. I'd say this is an aromatic for people don't typically smoke aromatics. I'm having trouble keeping it lit, but I believe that's just because it needs a little dry time....Read More
