Peter Stokkebye Cherry (No.3)

The Virginia is lightly grassy with a little citrus. The cavendish style Virginia has a little honey. The cherry topping has just a little depth, and does sublimate the tobacco. Burns a little on the fast side with some harshness and bite if you go beyond a moderate pace. Doesn't require too many relights, and has hardly any nicotine. Leaves moisture in the bowl, and the tobacco has a syrupy taste in the last quarter. The after taste is okay. Reminds me of Tinderbox's Anniversary Cherry, and I believe it is the same thing as I have to same problems with both blends, not to mention the similar taste.

I like steak but I don't eat it every day, so it is with this cherry blend. Tinder Box calls it Anniverary,generally latakia's and virginia's are my tobacco's of choice. This however is a quality aromatic that has a nice flavor but not overly sweet. It smokes well in any size pipe and burns to a nice gray ash with no wet heal to sour the smoke. In fact it smokes drier than some big name english blends do. You do get true tobacco taste at the 1/2 point of the bowl It settles in early and stay's consistent through the entire bowl. A true change of pace and something I always have around when called upon. If you get the chance give it a try, you will be surprised at the quality and mild flavor it produces. A very nice change of pace or all day puffer if you wish......it never bites and smokes clean. What else would you want from an aromatic? Enjoy it after a large dinner!

Not wanting to write a 'smarty pants' negative review, I have hesitated to write this for a long, long while. Cherry blends are a pleasure and a joy to smoke if you get the right one, and as I have now found out, pretty awful when you don't. This is both far too strong and far too artificial for my tastes. The aroma of this very, very damp tobacco surely could be nothing like the actual taste once flame is applied.

You think?

Burns hot, tastes like perfume, and hurts my tongue. I now believe in hell, as it is clearly packaged in this unexpectedly vile substance. I have never, ever thrown pipe tobacco away before, as no matter how disappointing, it can always be satisfactorily altered and salvaged by the addition of huge quantities of something else.

Not this.

Peter Stokkebye - Cherry (No.3).

I opened this with a yawn, yet another cherry blend. But on we go!

A well rubbed, medium brown, ribbon. The moisture of my pouch was good.

The cherries are an emphatic flavour, but supporting them is a sweetness that doesn't emanate from the cherries, alone. This is one of those cherry blends where the casing is false, and quite strong, so should you be adverse to an artificial tasting cherry blend, don't bother with this. The tobaccos join together to form a mellow flavour. It burns well, but bites hard.

Nicotine: mild to medium. Room-note: very sweet.

Peter Stokkebye Cherry? Just ANOTHER cherry aromatic. Somewhat recommended:

Two stars.

Not great, just good. Not my favorite cherry blend. I just did not think it had enough cherry flavor. The tobacco was very wet. It does have tobacco flavor, which is quite good. And the cherry is not a chemical taste.

I really like this tobacco. I have been looking for a cherry tobacco that doesn't scream cherry out loud. Not too strong and not too mild. This is the first cherry I have smoked that I can smoke bowl after bowl. I like John Middleton cherry also - but I think i like this one better. It has a subtle flavor. Easy to light and keep lit. Easy on the pocket book too. I'm glad I tried it.

Upon opening my sample packet, it smelt not quite like cherries, more like if you extracted the sugar from cherries and the boiled the tobacco in it. Very sweet, and very, very mild. No prep work is required, but light tamping is necessary as this one tends to suffer pretty bad expansion in the bowl.

Its OK for a beginner, not for those looking for 'the next level' of strength or flavour, though. Room note is soft, with those sugary-cherry undertones i mentioned. Have to admit, im a bit dissapointed.

Happy piping

Eh.It is decent. Very pleasant with smell but the flavor is very bland. No tobacco and no casing.Just smoke. Whoppie! This is a smoke for when room note is important,and nothing else. I have a 1/4 lb left and after that I will never smoke it again.Burns hot and wet and makes smells like burning hair if left unattended.

I do not recommend it at all. It will make your room smell like cherries but It will make your mouth feel like an ashtray.

This has been a strange summer (2007) for me. There are no true pipe stores nearby and I have been trying to conserve on my "cellared" tobaccos. What this has led to is a strange fit of experimentation. One local cigar club has a selection of Stokkebye tobaccos that they have been fairly giving away. So, I decided that I would try something that SWMBO could not gripe about - Cherry.

I tried PS Cherry in a variety of pipe shapes and sizes. All performed without any goop (as I had grown to expect from aromatics) and/or wet dottle in the bottom of the bowl. The taste was pretty pronounced with a definite cherry casing and some florals that played underneath good Virginia quality and Cavendish tobacco. The taste and strength stayed constant throughout every bowl. PS Cherry did have the ability to nip at your tongue if you puffed too vigorously, but all in all, this is a very good tobacco and a better than expected smoke.

This weed may well have been changed by the manufacturer since the last reviews, as my experience was sooo strongly different. I was greatly dissapointed, espcially so since I love Luxury Curly Cut from Stokkebye. I know, I know, the two are entirely different tobaccos, but I had hoped the same hand blended both. Not so, as we shall see.

I recently ordered two ounces of P.S. Cherry, along with several other tobaccos, and when the package arrived, ALL the tobaccos smelled of the P.S. cherry casing. The aroma eminating from the package was that of a sickly sweet cough syrup, which did not bode well. It was but the matter of a few minutes for the other tobaks to clear up, but had the box sat for a week or two unopened, I have my doubts as to whether or not the "marriage" would have dissipated.

I will agree with most of the other reviewers, this lit and burned well. There was not much strength, nor much real tobacco flavor. What flavor there was actually resulted in a horrible after taste. Imagine the most poorly flavored cherry cough syrup you could find and you might come close. The after taste unfortunately hung on until I could get to a toothbrush. As well, the scent clung to my clothes like a wet dog.

Soory, but I can only give it a Not Recommended. I have my doubts that there are any well done cherry tobaks out there.
