Strong Cherry Blast upon light up. Stays pat all thru the smoke.
Smokes hot. It's sticky, gooey and wet.
A definite candy that lasts a long time!

This was another of my early smokes, aand is to be compared to Middleton's cherry blend. Upon opening the plastic pouch, the bizarrely powerful(read: noxious) aroma fills whatever it is that one is residing in. The aroma is a bit stronger than Middleton's cherry, and that is quite the unsavory omen. The feel of this tobacco to the fingers is absolutely horrible. Its almost like playing with wet, moldy straw that is luke-warm. Beyond that, packing is simple enough, of course, the awful feel of the tobac made me want to get the handling of it done as soon as possible, so I may have been a bit hurried on the pack. No Matter. Upon greeting the fire, about a quarter of the bowl just sort of combusted and disappeared. The stuff is THAT dry.. which is interesting, because of all the crap that it seems to be swimming in. At any rate, the taste of cherry was definately there, and even in a more potent form than in Middleton's blend. This was, thank god, smoked in a MM corncob. One which will never, ever be allowed to enter the room with the rest of my tobacco in it. If you simply must try a cherry flavored blend, try Middleton's. At least it won't kill you.
