Super Value Cherry Cavendish

Fortunately, got this as a free sample from pipesandcigars. While I can't put down the tobaccos in this blend, it is drenched in glycol and WILL NOT DRY OUT. I tried to dry it for 3 solid days on a large cookie sheet and it never lost any of it's stickiness. It is super sticky goopy and makes me super glad that I don't inhale pipe tobacco smoke; but, because of this, I refuse to smoke it more than the once I used to formulate this review. Also, such additives to tobacco scare the daylights out of me health-wise.

Because if the stickiness, not sure if I packed it properly. However, it lit up OK and burned without much fuss. The Cherry flavor that was obvious from the pouch never came through in the smoking, either in the taste or the slipstream. BORING! Started getting gurgly after the half way mark and something wet and bitter came out of the pipe stem on to my tongue. That was enough for me and I gave up.

The only plus I can find for this blend is that it is mild, smokes cool and doesn't bite. Wish I could rate it a zero!

The smell is quite nice, very moist however. I thought the taste was alright. Not the best tobacco i have ever tasted, i found that if it is packed lightly the taste of the cherries and tobacco comes out more. If packed a little tighter, the cherry taste isn't really there. Its good on a budget, that's about it really.

(Addition), ok I've sparingly used this stuff since i bought it, which was 4 months ago,(about the same time i wrote the review). Then i just started back up, due to a lack of funds and i have actually used it to blend with other tobaccos, not good ones, just capt. black, white and gold. it makes a way more complex taste, i don't add that much at all, because if there is too much, it tastes even more horrible.

Super Value - Cherry Cavendish.

My aromatic for last Sunday was Super Value Bourbon Whiskey, which I found quite impressive. Sadly, the same doesn't apply to this.

Although listed as being a ribbon, it isn't. In fact, Cherry Cavendish is as rather coarse mixture. Mine's mostly brown, with a few light pieces, but quite redundant of many black pieces. The aroma from it say's 'I'm quite heavily cased with cherries!'. My moisture looked good.

So, how's the smoke? Two words: Oh Dear. The tobaccos give a boring Cavendish and Burley smoke, with hardly any black Cav'. Being fair, the tobaccos aren't exactly pernicious, the topping fills this position; the cherry flavour tastes way too sharp, tart, bitter, acidic, ruining it. The nastiness doesn't end there, no, it burns too hot, and bites like a mad dog.

Nicotine: a jot above mild. Room-note: not bad.

Cherry Cavendish? I found Super Value's Bourbon Whiskey, last week, as good as any in that genre. But, I find this one of the worst cherry aromatics I've smoked. Not recommended:

One star.

I eyed this 1.5 oz pouch of baccy for quite awhile because I had never tried a cherry before. To spite my better judgement of buying anything with the brand name of "Super Value" I decided to go ahead an try it. The package note was VERY pleasant and even made my mouth water.

Upon opening, I immediately noticed that it was extremely wet. I stuffed a little in my bowl, { the wetness made that difficult to pack } and lit it up { well..... sorta } It was so moist that I couldn't even get it to burn. The little bit of taste I did get out of it was horrible. I'll not smoke it again. It now sits atop my dashboard over the heater vents where it makes for a nice air freshener.

DO NOT buy.

Bought a bag of this stuff and once I got it out of the bag I wasn't sure at first that the tobacco itself didn't come plastic coated. There was actually a sheen to it and it didn't even look like tobacco anymore. Unlike the Rum Cured version I can't even use this for blending in it's current state.

The smell in the bag wasn't bad. Setting it on fire however seems to destroy any taste. There was only a hint of cherry in the bowl and that dissapeared quickly. I had to relight it several times. DON'T SMOKE THIS IN A GOOD PIPE! If you must try it get yourself a cob.

With the massive amount of additive in this tobacco I doubt it will dry out in the next six years. People who like this stuff haven't tried smoking pine bark yet.

After smoking 10 bowls from the 12oz. bag I have updated my review...

The smell of cherry upon opening the bag is quite strong, but pleasant. Lightly flavored tobacco that smokes easily. The smell doesn't translate into taste. The cherry flavoring is there, but is extremely light and disappears by the last 1/3rd of the bowl where it takes on an almost cigarette ash consistency/taste to it. Good? Not really. Marginally adequate if you really want to smoke something. Pass.

If you are a fan of syrup drenched "I'm not 100% sure what this is, but I THINK it's tobacco" blends, then boy is this for you. Purchased at a smoke shop in Petaluma CA under an "emergency" circumstance, I pretty much instantly regretted this decision. On the plus side, I now know what the absolute bottom of the barrel looks like.

Absolutely disgusting I've been eyeballing it at my breaking mortar store for a while finally I got it got it home the note was all right but tasted just like somebody sprayed my mouth with perfume and also taste like I'm sitting there burning a plastic toy will never buy again

New pipe smoker here. Keep in mind as you read this that I firmly believe that the best tobacco is the tobacco that YOU like.

I did not find this blend very pleasant to smoke. It smelled good out of the pouch. This was the tobacco I purchased along with my first pipe, so I bought the cheapest that the store had to offer. I may try other Super Value blends but not this one.
