Gawith, Hoggarth & Co. Top Black Cherry

Fantastic blend! My favorite cherry aromatic and quite possibly my favorite aromatic.

I purchased an ounce of this to try and will definitely be ordering more in the future. There is no doubt a cherry flavor to this tobacco, but likely not the flavor most would expect when they hear the words cherry aromatic. This is most likely due to the influence of the secret GH sauce taste that is in the background. The cherry and some really good leaf make this smoke a real treat.

An added benefit as I find with all GH smokes, is how cool they smoke; and this one shares that characteristic as well. If you are one to cry soap and the taste of an unflavored GH blend, you probably will not enjoy this blend as much as I did. But I can't recommend this one enough and already have on many forums.

I don't smoke this blend a whole lot but I usually have at least one tin on hand, as I do enjoy it occasionally. Top Black Cherry is quite moist from the tin and I give it a good hour of dry time prior to loading my pipe. Like most aromatics, don't smoke this stuff too fast or the few subtleties that it does have will be gone and the flavor will become overly bitter.

Once dried a bit, this is an exceptionally smooth smoke with a subtle semi-sweet tobacco flavor, deftly enhanced by a hint of tart dark fruit on the finish. I say dark fruit because the flavoring doesn't scream of the typical artificial candied cough syrup taste that one finds in other "cherry" aromatics. If anything, the top note reminds me of the once popular Heering liqueur.

No real surprises here, both in the fact that this is a simple yet enjoyable flavored black Cavendish and that it's just one more high-quality product from Gawith Hoggarth. If there's a blend in the genre capable of giving cherry pipe tobacco a good name, this is it.

Tried 3 bowls was unable to finish any of them Lane TK6 is much better only my opinion.

From a company that makes some of the best flake tobaccos on planet Earth comes a cherry blend that does not suck. The cherry comes off more as cherry incense to me. It even has some nicotene that makes it even better. I purchased this blend in bulk and it arrived in perfect smoking moisture. Smokes easy and has that good black cherry taste, only in an incence sorta way. Those around you will certainly enjoy the aroma.

Update; This s not your average Cherry tobacco. The nicotene will pop your eyes open. I forgot my daily smoke today and had this in my lunch box. I'm starting to really like it more and more. Just caution on the nicotene.

Top Black Cherry is the best cherry aromatic I have ever had the pleasure of smoking. The black and brown, heavily fermented Cavendish tobaccos most likely began life as top quality Virginia leaf, based on the decent tobacco flavor profile which provides ample foundation for the heavy, black cherry liquor casing which hits you like a ton of bricks before you even open the inner pouch. In fact, you can smell it before you crack open the tin. The tin aroma carries forth beautifully in the room note and smoke flavor.

To me the flavor and aroma seem very natural even tho it is very STRONG. I don't understand how anyone can rate this as having "medium" flavoring. They must have dried it out completely, or received it dry. My tins arrived very moist with the inner bags sealed tight. I like it straight out of the tin even tho it's a tad drippy this way. And forget about smoking anything else in the same pipe.

I enjoy maybe three bowls of this 'dessert' each week, and love it! Performs best very tightly packed in a deep/narrow, chimney-type bowl shape. Lights easily and burns well.

After trying every cherry flavored tobacco I could get my hands on I have to say this is the best of the bunch. It has a nice authentic cherry flavor. It also has a noticeable amount of nicotine.

Cherry tobacco that tastes like real cherries. What more do I need to say?

Of all the aromatics I have tried to date this one is by far my favorite. It is much stronger in flavor and taste than most others and the room note is amazingly pleasant.

It is a little on the moist side and a little difficult to keep lit at first but as the tin is opened and dried a bit it gets much easier to keep lit. There is a bit of goopyness so regular pipe cleaning is necessary.

I intend to keep this one in my rotation.

Well another cherry that falls flat. While this tobak certainly isn't the disaster that others are, it doesn't raise the bar all that much over a drugstore cherry weed.

True, it smokes well after getting it lit, which is a trick in it self, but while there is a somewhat decent tobacco flavor the cherry topping is just not very well done. It isn't the cough syrup mess that most cherries have, but it simply was not my cup of tea.

I am beginning to believe that as aromatics go, cherry is a difficult, if not impossible flavor to achieve.

My opinion only, if you enjoy it, puff away!

Im not an aromatic smoker but I gave this one a shot and I am glad I did.

The tin note is a light cherry, not overpowering but slightly artificial in smell.

Packs and lights well. Its not too wet, good to go right out of the tin. Its a dark black tobacco in appearance.

It smokes very well for an aro, and ill in get is cherry with a hint of vanilla. Its a very pleasant taste. Doesn't linger too long but an easy smoking good tasting tobacco.

It smokes clean and surprisingly dry. If I had to guess this is how aro's are supposed to be but are rarely done this well.

I would buy again, but very seldom. Not a reflection of quality but of my preference.
