The black cherry was tart and more like regular cherry. I didn't get a pineapple taste, but that must have been what caused a mild acidic hit, and a slight syrupiness in the last quarter of the experience. There was a slight tangy fruit sweetness that I think came from the red Virginia, but the tobacco flavor was minimal, except near the finish. I got a hint of vanilla and a little sugar, which must have come from the black cavendish. The nic-hit was very light. Didn't bite, but needed to be smoked slowly to avoid warmth on the tongue. Burned a little fast, and left a little moisture in the bowl. Needed an average number of relights. Was an all day smoke.

A nice candy like cherry. Less 'fake' than others with a good price. Great for the holidays. and CHEAP.

I've tried several different cherry blends, and "cherry pineapple" sounded interesting.
Some cherry blends are artificial (Lane's); some are more natural and smell like real cherries (Guy Wallace's tasty cherry blends). House of Windsor's Black Cherry, on the other hand, reminded me of a sweeter, lighter, candy-like maraschino cherry rather than a darker cherry.
The tobacco was very soft, but it was also very dry. Not a major problem, but I like tobacco that's slightly moist.
Loading and lighting was easy. BC smokes well without gooping-up the pipe. Also, BC didn't fry my tongue like a stereotypical junk cherry blend. I didn't detect any pineapple in the smoke.
Black Cherry is pretty good as far as cherry blends go. If you are looking for a gentle, dry-smoking cherry blend that isn't like cherry cough syrup, consider this one. I may or may not buy this blend again.
