The only cherry pipe tobacco that I've smoked that was worth smoking more than once. The Syrian Latakia in the blend adds a nice touch. It doesn't deliver a lot of bite and it isn't overly moist. Burns well and provides a full flavor experience as well as a pleasing aroma. I don't know how this one has stayed below the radar as much as it has. An incredible smoke, particularly for those like myself that don't smoke aromatics on a regular basis.
Finally, someone has created a cherry blend and got it right.

This tin was given to me about 12 years ago and I just never got around to opening it. The aroma from the tin was extremely inviting. The smoke was delightful, flavorful, and cool with a delectable cherry aroma. Apparently it is no longer available in USA and would cost me a fortune to order from the EU.
