After more than twenty years without a cherry tobacco in my rotation in a holiday's trip, I tried Captain Black Cherry and liked it, out of the bag its aroma is good, although after a couple of weeks on C.B. Cherry, I tried Pipeworks & Wilke's Cherry Cavendish and the difference is noticeable in Aroma, Flavor and Taste, C.B. Cherry is weak in flavor and taste, aroma is not too bad although at the end of your bowl the tobacco becomes a Pit Bull, let's say, full of bite, even in slow pace. I do recommend Captain Black Cherry only in that case that you cannot reach your favorite blend from your tobacconist, but from the Captain Black's line-up, White and Royal seem to be better options.

I've tried Captain Black Cherry twice. Once using a pipe with a carbon filter, and it didn't taste so bad. The other time was when I quit carbon filters pipes; with steel filter pipes it tasted terrible; it was so strong and you feel you are smoking anything except tobacco.

If you want cherry flavor, go get some flavored juice, biscuits or gums, but if you want to smoke pipe, I wouldn't recommend fruity flavors.

This is the first pipe tobacco I ever smoked. It was my first pipe tobacco, in my first pipe, and I will never go back to it. The first few bowls made me think "Wow, this is a great tobacco. Great taste, smells good, my friends like it. What's not to love?" Then upon trying some mild English blends and other aromatics, I realized.."Wait a minute..that Cherry stuff sucks." If it's your first tobacco and you're a new smoker, like I am, give it a try dispite the reviews. It's a decent tobacco to start out with. But if you're a vetern smoker, don't even waste your time.

I was looking for a good, cheap, intro tobacco. I was told by a friend that Captain Black Cherry was a good one to start with, that he had very much enjoyed it himself. Unfortunately, that was not the case for me.

Right out of the pouch, It gave off a very sweet, chemical cherry aroma. The first bowl I smoked, I thought the tastelessness of it was normal. The second bowl yielded the same. It was then I realized smoking was supposed to be relaxed and fun. But this tobacco didn't taste good, and I wasn't relaxed, or enjoying myself.

Now, I'm not saying all CB tobaccos are bad, just this one. It is my recommendation that you DO NOT purchase this product, unless you want a very unsatisfying smoke.

Cheers.

I couldn't stop myself to try a cherry. This happens more than 10 years ago. I still remember that unfortunate day in which I have made a big mistake. This is not a pipe tobacco!

I had to special order a six-pack of the pocket pouches, and lemme tell you, at $5/pouch, with THIS tobacco, I might as well as dipped 3 shredded $10 bills in any cherry-flavoured medicine and smoked them. The flavour of the blend is overwhelming in its cherry cough syrup taste, and it manages to leave the same lingering aftertaste. I get almost no nicotine relief out of it, so why smoke it? It tastes bad, and it don't even kill the craving.

strongly cased tobacco yet it impress people like no other tobacco i have ever smoked ,,ppl just love it(which happens to be a key point in choosing my tobacco),,however on this occasion its ur choice(your pleasure or peoples complement) which i dont mind to be honest!! hold the fire well if left to dry and or smoked very slowly, a pipe should be dedicated as the taste will be there for quite sometime ,, you can barely find the cavendish among the casing added. try it if you like a very sweet taste to your smoke.

Hey what can I say, you got to please the folks around you in a close knit situation. Everytime I smoke this in public, I always have people saying "oh that smells so good, smells like grandpa". I only smoke this when I have to keep the peace! You got to admit, it does smell great, the taste, well, you know.

I love it and sadly miss it being imported to Israel. In a few weeks time I will be in America where I can buy the share of everyone who doesn't like it. I'm always open to gifts being sent to me of unwanted portions!

The second, and last cherry blend I will ever try. Tasted like chemicals. Couldn't even make it through the second chance bowl. A friend of mine once described his experience smoking a hookah by comparing it to smoking crushed up car air freshners. Yeah - this is like that.

If you like cough syrup you will love this awful tasting stuff. This is not even recommended for the beginner. Upon opening the pouch, I noticed an unnatural smell which should have told me something right there. It even smells like cough syrup. I tried a bowl anyway and had to brush my teeth afterwards. The smell is OK though, and that is the nicest thing I have to say about it.

If you like cherry flavoring, try Lane's TK-6 instead.

Update: I forgot to mention, DO NOT use a good quality pipe if you choose to smoke this stuff, use a drug store brand pipe. I do not own any cheap pipes and one of my coveted Lanes era Charatan Canadian imparted such a foul tast and smell, it had to be completely cleaned with lots of TLC.

Still another YUK! Do not waste your money on this imatation flavored and putrid stuff. Be warned!!!

This smells good when you can get it to burn..and as an added bonus..It smokes wet & hot for those of you who may seek such an experience!

There must be better cherry tobac's out there..and I'll leave that up to other pipesters to find out. I haven't had any luck so far.
