The earthy, nutty burley really isn’t noticeable as it, and the Virginia is processed in the cavendish style. I do get a little grass and honey from it as well as a very mild vanilla note from the black cavendish. The cherry topping is very mild, though it’s enough to sublimate the tobaccos to some extent, and it does weaken a little in the last third of the experience. No artificial taste in the cherry exists. There's a subtle chocolate note that lingers around, too. Has no nicotine to speak of. A coarse cut that’s a little moist, but needs no dry time. Burns at a moderate pace with a cool, clean smooth flavor with no bite. Leaves just a little moisture in the bowl, but no goop or dottle. Needs a few relights. Has a pleasant after taste and room note. A very mild all day light smoke.

Smells like chocolate, cherries, and vanilla from the bag, perhaps a bit of pecan way in the distance. I think the vanilla is naturally derived from the Cavendish.
Seems to stay a little dry yet smokes damply and a bit hot, leaving wetness at the bottom of the bowl from the sweetness of it (my drooling). Deep and rich flavors and a great fall to winter smoke. Rich and pleasant and aromatic with high compliments from all.
As it ages the flavors and strength mellow-out and is not as "juicy".
I find this a very tasty cherry chocolate vanilla combo.
