Svendborg Kirsberry
(2.40)
Golden Virginia, black cavendish and burley give this blend a light taste. Flavored with a small amount of cherry, this is not a harsh blend.

A fine blend in every aspect, well crafted with bright Virginias balanced with black cavendish and a cherry topping, but I'd say it leans more on the tart side of cherry and almost cranberry in tin note and flavour. Svendborg blends all seem to share the same "essence" (which I find quite palatable) I can only describe it as "Virginia enhanced" perhaps even compare it to what MSG does to food and I say that affectionately in this case. This blend has enough nicotine to keep me satisfied, but perhaps too much to smoke all day. Burns down to a white ash with no dottle and leaves a lovely room note. Like other Svendborg blends ive noticed this one also seems to get little attention on this forum which is unfortunate, perhaps the high price tag is a deterrent. Highly recommend to the aromatic smoker, fruit blend enthusiast or any fan of Danish tobak.

This is one of the few cherry aromatics that has a delicate taste and smokes to a dry white ash. It has a subtle room note and it doesn't bite. I would rate it 4 stars but it is not quite as good, in my opinion, as McLintock's Black Cherry.

Cherry is one of the most caustic Aromatic flavors and companies tend to douse their product into cough syrup oblivion. Admittedly, there are times when I want such a bold product (Cult's Red Moon does a good job), but Kirsberry takes a more relaxed approach.
The tin opens up into what is certainly cherry country, and it does smell like actual cherries, not some chemical vapor. The mix is evenly split between dark Cavendish and light tan Burley/Virginia, with lots of chunky bits (not hard stems, but rough torn leaves), and is thankfully not a sticky mess. The thicker bits make packing a bit trickier and I had a few bowls with uneven air flow. Once lit it smoldered on and off without getting too hot and needing relights galore, which I attribute to the aforementioned packing.
The taste is where Kirsberry shines. It is one note, but since cherry is what I came to listen to, I was happy. Non Aromatic fans will be annoyed that less of the tobacco flavor comes through, but I couldn't be happier with the clean non-artificial topping that never got too strong.
