Smoker's Pride Cherry Cavendish

Oct 25, 2017 This was the first pipe tobacco I tried. That was 24 years ago when some college mates and I decided to go to a local Walgreens (in the town where the college I was attending at the time) and get some pipes and tobacco. Since then I have tried many different kinds of pipe tobacco. I always keep coming back to this one.

If you dedicate a pipe, (or many, in my case) this tobacco will reward you with a sweetness and depth of cherry flavor that, in my opinion, is very satisfying, particularly if you are a cherry tobacco guy like myself who likes aromatics. I know that in the vast world of pipe tobaccos, both aromatic and otherwise, this is known as a rather "economically priced" one that does not garner as much praise as more expensively priced tobaccos. However in my humble opinion, it holds its own against any other cherry tobaccos.

The secret, at least for me, was to smoke nothing but this for quite awhile, and let your pipe get acclimated to the tobacco. I know this may be difficult for some pipe smokers who like to try many different kinds in a single pipe, but if you dedicate at least one pipe to this tobacco (and let your palate reset itself, so to speak) it will really open itself up to you. This taste is so much better than when I first tried it so many years ago using this approach.
