Bought this on a road trip when the store didn't have my brand. Not my favorite it has a citrus, fermented apple smell to it and it tastes like smoking an ashtray.

I last tried this many years ago. It came in a small card box with a plastic bag of product inside. There was no evidence of casing at all and the appearance was of a mixture of darker, ribbon cut with light torn leaf. It was what the box said - a half and half mixture of dark burley with bright Virginia. Mild and neutral with an 'outdoorsy' smell of autumn leaf-fires. Packed and burned well. However, this clearly is NOT what the blend is now.

Not as bad as some of the reviews lead you to believe. It's straightforward and relatively mild. Burns hot if you push it but smoke slow and it's really an ok smoke. Been around for a loooong time so it has some redeeming qualities. Good to have around for the occasional "reset" smoke after you smoke a lot of the fancy sophisticated blends out there. Don't notice a ton of cherry aroma or flavor but there is a fruity casing applied.

I purchased this tobacco today for the first time from my local smoke shop. The notes form the pouch give off a chemical cherry cough syrup smell with a hint of fake chocolate. I smoked this from a cob it lit well smoked cool but the overall flavor was of artificial flavoring. I blended this with some my mixture 925 and the flavor was still unpleasant.
