I was low on cash, and being a new pipe smoker at the time, the name appealed to me. I bought a large 12 oz. tin because it was slashed at 60% off. I think I payed about 5 to 8 pounds. Not a bad price. I opened the tin and it gave off a pleasant aroma, as one of you before mentioned that it smelled like shasta black cherry soda. I lit it up and it had a strong cherry flavour, and a pleasing aroma to those who happened to pass by. Though it smokes quite hot and can burn the mouth of an inexperienced smoker, it still can yeild a pleasant an inexpensive novelty smoke. I would recommend it to an intermediate smoker. I tried a pouch version of this years later in the states and I found it to be extremely disappointing. Goopy, awful tasting and just about clogged up my pipe....I would recommend the tin.

Shopping with a 3 and 5 year old at 8am on a monday morning can lead you to do weird things. Like look seriously at the pipe tobacco section of your local supermarket.
Reef, Capt, and others were there, but Paladin I had never seen before. As a Early Morning Smoke, 965, Royal Yacht, Nightcap rotational (throughout the day)smoker I wanted to throw somthing differant in the mix. I spent the $1.50 and got home. Truth be told I was a bit excited. I hoped I had found the "dimond in the rough". A good base aromatic that I could enjoy. But that was all a Pipe dream.
I got home jumped on here and read what my fellow pipazoids thought. I was dicouraged. But y'all were NOT going to ruin my fun!
I opend the bag and WHAP! Smelled like melted swedish fish and cherry coke syrup. Ugh!
There is no way in hell I'm smokin this stuff alone.
I looked in my baccy drawer and found some Mecclend Perique. mixed em 60-40 and prayed for the best.
Not bad at all. Blended with a stronger spice tobacco to tone down the synthetic casing proved quite satisfying. FOr about 15 minutes then it started to taste like the sole of a landfill workers boot.
This tobacco sucks.

Out of the pouch smells like cherry pie filling with a chemical undertone. Doesnt smoke or taste too bad, although there is still that unnatural chemical tang. On the packaging it says "It only tastes expensive", well, it doesnt. For a drugstore tobacco its not "too" bad, but there are others that are better.

While I've tasted worse tobaccos than this drugstore blend, I've also tasted much, much better. The name says it all: it is a VERY CHERRY aromatic. If you like cherry flavour, go ahead and give it a whirl. Just be sure to put this goopy mixture in a corn cob so you don't ruin your good briar. I really can't complain too much - the pouch cost me $1.85.

Pounder 5000 hit the nail on the head. This blend does indeed smell and taste just like Shasta Black Cherry soda. I don't think this is too bad if you know what you are getting. Don?t expect a complex blend of fine tobaccos that will produce a heavenly smoking experience. If you expect a nice aromatic and like cherry than this will do well. I might smoke a pouch on the odd (very odd!) occasion as a little of this goes a long way.
