For a cool outdoor smoke. Really if you are in cool outdoors with an urge for a nice mild smoke that does not upset your mood for a meal afterwards this is it. Especially for the cherry and vanilla lovers who are hoping for a mild aromatic smoke without suffering the tongue bite. Go ahead and take deep and quick puffs still it wont go strong on you but remains cool and mild.

Here's one I would never have bought, but got instead as a free sample. Cherry is not a good flavor for me. The addition of vanilla in this case didn't help. As far as cherry aros go it's better than most. The flavor is mild in extreme, unusual for a GH product. The room note is putrid.
Not the worst I've had by far, and I may finish the ounce before I die, but it's not likely.

When I was first smoking a pipe, after smoking a bit of clan, a friend told me to try this. I'm sure he meant well, but as he didnt actually smoke a pipe himself I should have known not to trust him.
Clan is an aromatic I enjoy, as it tastes of tobacco, and the vanilla and licorice simply complements this. But this has no taste of its own, except sweetness and tongue bite. The smell is pleasing enough, but I smoke for myself, not for an audience. It burns rather hot, bites, and tends to drip as it is so sticky.
I have since found some flavoured aromatics I can enjoy, but this one is very disappointing. Kids may want to eat it, I'm sure its less toxic than most other candy...

Absolute rubbish. This isn’t pipe tobacco. It is chemically syrup.
It comes very wet and it needs drying to smoke it. However, the wetness is some gloopy chemical and takes forever to get this dry enough. When it does, it still has the nasty chemical.
Do not whatever you do, put this anywhere near a good quality pipe. If you really have to try it, smoke it through a £5 corncob.
But save yourself the money and disappointment- buy a good quality aromatic.
If you haven’t tried Peterson Killarney, please try that and have a great tasting and smelling aromatic smoke.
If you are new to smoking, start of with a Virginia. Or a Virginia Perique blend before you try horrible aromatics like this - it will put the beginner of smoking.

I think I've just remembered why I avoid tobaccos topped with fruity flavours! This should be an ice cream, not a tobacco.
Objectively: Burns slowly, tendency to bite or go out so it's hard to find the sweet spot where the smoke is cool and flavoursome, makes the room smell nice, left me feeling like I'd just dropped some hot ice cream in an ash tray then ate it by mistake.
If you like aromatics, you'll probably like this (hence somewhat recommended) but it's not for me. I'll be avoiding such nonsense from now on.

On visiting a nearby town I called into a newsagents who I knew had a greater than average selection of OTC tobaccos. After deliberation I chose this blend as I was missing my favourite aromatic Connoisseurs Choice.
Must say I was pleasantly surprised upon opening the plastic wallet to be greeted by a lovely waft of Cherry and Vanilla, even the OH remarked upon it straightaway. Packs easily and I found that my pouch didnt need any drying out as some aromatics do. Now I am pretty rubbish at smelling tobacco as I smoke it but the OH said how pleasant the aroma was. I had to take her word for it until I smoked it indoors, went out of the room and then re-entered whereupon I could pick up the Cherry and Vanilla aroma.
I found that the smell did not carry through to the taste although occaisonally I thought I could detect some cherry sweetness coming through. Also if puffed hard this can bite although if you take it slow you wouldnt have any problems. No messy gloop at bottom of pipe either so all in all not a bad experience. It wont replace connoisseurs choice in my rotation and would possibly buy it again, however I do believe that there may be other aromatic tobaccos which are better.

Usually the starting point for any would be pipe smoker. Well, it was for me anyway..
Smells wonderful, and it is what it is, a relatively cheap and easy going pungent aromatic.
Comes with the stereotypical pitfalls of such a blend though, and that's ton's of moisture and goop/bitterness at the end of the smoke.
Not the worst though..
I usually mixed this with coffee caramel for a real bonanza of people pleasing..

This was the first tobacco a tobacconist recommended to me. I was fooled by the sweetness of the cherry and the hints of vanilla but was a little disappointed with the smoke. It was too cool for my liking and went out pretty quickly. In terms of aroma it was fairly pleasant but I wouldn't buy it again. I didn't like how sticky/moist the blend was or the heavy sweetness of it. It is a good blend for a beginner because it'll show him what sort of blend he'd really like.

call me a sucker! I am a fan of G&H et al, but this one did not do it for me. Everytime I was beginning to taste tobacco, the topping overpowered it. I'll stick to real cherries, thank you! Now where did I leave my tin of Bob's Chocolate Flake?
