Gawith Hoggarth - Cherry & Vanilla.
From the description I think "oh joy, ANOTHER cherry aromatic", HOWEVER I must admit I am quite impressed by it. Firstly, upon opening it I can ascertain that the usual "sledge hammer" of cherries that goes hand in hand with cherry aro's isn't present, in fact what I actually get is a gentle fruity note of cherry with a subtle vanilla addition. To be fair, this one is a little too moist, that said I leave mine to air for a few hours.
Once the right level has been achieved I greedily fill my pipe and set to. Ignition of this one (providing you let it air enough) is a simple task, quite a shortish go with the flame is just enough of a catalyst for a steady smoke. The burn is a really even one, not extinguishing itself unless left unattended too long. The temperature of the smoke is neither too warm or too cool , a pleasing "mid temperature" which can be enjoyed at full throttle without becoming exacerbated by tongue bite. Now , on to taste, superb! Like the unlit aroma it IS NOT a massive cherry bomb, actually the cherry is very mild in comparison to other cherry aro's leaving some room for the vanilla to come to fruition in the mix! Because the aromatic side is not strong, the tobaccos can also be appreciated in this very thick/creamy smoke. Vitamin N? Again flawless :not indomitable, not weak but just right! On to the room-note: very full and also (a negative for non-smokers) it has a fairly thick consistency in the air, so I suggest that this is enjoyed alone! Due to the gently added aromatics the pipe remains quite clear of ghosting unless regularly smoked without maintaining it.
This one scores so highly for me because it is completely unorthodox for a cherry aromatic: bite free, not harsh, no and gently sweet!
Four stars.

This was the first pipe tobacco that I ever tried. It was recommended to me by my local B & M store, as they said it was great to start on. I find this great tasing tobacco, the cherry notes are strong but to me this blend tastes more natural than the stand alone American Cherry. I still smoke this blend regularly. I find sometimes when the tobacco is fresh it is a little bit too moist so I tend to dry it slightly. What I do like about this tobacco and I suspect why it is such a big seller is that it is a very cool smoke, I have never had any form of tongue bite whilst smoking this, even as a beginner.
