I'll bet this isn't what you were expecting.

Product: McLintock Black Cherry 50g
Whatever you think of when you hear “cherry blend”, put that out of your mind. You'll have to or McLintock's Black Cherry is going to make no sense to you. It's not the candy-maraschino flavoring you'd expect from a cherry blend (which incidentally i... Read More
s from sugar and almonds, not actual cherries). This cherry is like actual fresh cherries, dark ruby in color almost black, complete with stems. Now, add to that the aroma of a coffee shop during a morning rush. We're getting closer. Now, imagine the smell of freshly tilled earth lingering in the open air after a rain. Now, put it all together – and that's just the tin note. As if the smell wasn't strange enough, the taste has to be acquired. I smoked almost an entire tin before this blend made any sense to me, but when I realized it's appeal, I was glad I stuck with it. It is somewhat moist but not overly so and made up of mostly (if not all) Black Cavendish. I say “mostly” because there is some color variation in the blend. The cut reminds me of Holger Danske; some chopped bits, some short ribbons...it's a mixed cut blend. It packs and lights pretty good for an aromatic and stays lit better than most with only the occasional re-light. A hint of whiskey flavor finally comes through in the smoke, but isn't bitey. The fresh produce cherry aroma disappears almost completely and the coffee aroma translates to a Burley-like chocolaty taste. But, the loamy soil stays put, coming through the smoke like a peaty fermented taste I still can't place...maybe whiskey barrels full of fermenting fruit and soil? Overall, it's got an obscure flavor that will either wow you or possibly make you puke depending on your palate range. This definitely is on the outskirts of my own palate, but I still grew to like it considerably. Any negative reviews are probably either expecting the normal cherry topping and nothing like this or perhaps misunderstand the differences between American and Danish aromatics. This is a pungent aromatic that I could easily see people disgusted by, but I'm not one of them. I hope this helps. Read Less
A nice blend

Product: McLintock Black Cherry 50g
Smells sweet when opening the tin, but after a few bowls, you can get the real taste of this. It might take a few bowls to understand this blend. Definitely taste the black cherry and whisky. Not much coffee flavor. A nice mixture after dinner. Good ... Read More

Its Cherry All Right

The tin note is full on slurpee cherry. Its a little less sweet when smoked, allowing some of the other (better?) flavors to come through as well as the cherry. But this is not for me...
Excellent, but requires your attention.

If you can maintain the temperature of your smoke such that it doesn't get too hot, WOW, amazing! It dries out easily, so I've found I have to keep a humidifier disk with it and if you get it too hot, will not be that great. Has a hint of cherry with... Read More

Not What You Expected

Product: McLintock Black Cherry 50g
I bought this since it's a sibling to Holger Danske Black and Bourbon. Like B&B, it's a high quality product with both light and dark bits of leaf and a very pleasant tin note. However, this is not your standard cherry blend. It takes a few bowls (po... Read More
ssibly a full tin) to figure it out, but once you do it's great. The cherry is very natural and not candied. Some descriptions of this blend also mention notes of coffee and whiskey. What I get are notes of fresh split hardwood - elm or oak perhaps. If you've ever cut firewood with your dad or Grandpa on a crisp fall day you'll know what I'm talking about. For something just off the beaten path, give it a try. This is now in my regular rotation. Read Less
Waste of Time and $$$

I recently bought a tin of McLintock Black Cherry. Definitely has some good cherry aroma which is the only positive. The contents were bone dry and no cherry flavor what so ever.

Reviewers who stress several bowls of this are correct. I went from an initially underwhelmed to reordering it. Once you acclimate to it, it is a respectable choice in the Black Cherry field.

I am a casual novice and far from a connoisseur and unable to discern specific "notes". That being said this tobacco is fragrant in the tin, in the air, smooth, balanced and pleasant to my senses. I usually enjoy after a glass of neat Bulle... Read More

Nice in the tin

Product: McLintock Black Cherry 50g
Having only smoked aromatics, I've come to learn that most are pleasing for those around you, but often don't taste well. This time the cherry could not cover the acrid taste of the tobacco and the room note was bad. My wife thought I had been burnin... Read More
