This was a nice gift by a nice friend. I have heard a lot about Tinderbox and was looking forward to trying this.
Made with Black Cavendish it says and upon opening I was met with a delicious Cherry aroma and a very welcoming Almond flavor. They balanced well. This seemed to be about perfect in moisture for smoking and I still let it sit on a paper towel for a half hour. The ribbon cut was perfect for loading the pipe and once lit it stayed lit. This burned fast and very warm even when sipping. While no biting happened I can see if puffed it could nip. The flavors burned very consistently till about the last 1/4 of the bowl which I will go over below. Burned to a dark ash, left no moisture in the bowl and left a sweet aftertaste of Cherry and Almond in my mouth during the smoke and for a short while after the smoke. The smoke was medium and quickly disappeared. This had a wonderfully pleasant room not of cherry and almond. This tobacco can get bitter if puffed.
Upon lighting I experienced a beautiful strong Cherry flavor with a slightly less strong, but still strong Almond Flavor. There was a slight toastiness in the background. The flavors drowned out the Tobacco taste. This was the flavor until the last 1/4 of the bowl when the Cherry greatly diminished and left the Almond flavor.
This was a pleasant smoke with three flavors. I can see it could bite but it was well done and simple in flavors. If you love Cherry or Almonds you will love this. I liked this. Very nice blend and a very nice smoke. A special occasion smoke perhaps for me. This is a fine blend but I tend to more of a Burley, English Blend sort of smoker but I recommend one give it a try. It simplicity and wonderful two leading flavors are its strengths. 3 out of 4 stars.

This might be strongly flavored even for some die hard aromatic fans. I like the combination of cherry and almond though. A bit gooey if puffed hard and fast, but not terribly messy in general.
Sometimes its a bit too flavored. It made the entire shipping box smell like Luden's sore throat drops! When I'm in the mood for a good bit of sweetness, or I know I'll be smoking around non-smokers, I'll break this stuff out at full-strength. It is also good to "cut" with some other muted tobaccos to reduce the cherry flavor a bit... and let's face it, we all have extra non-descript tobacco laying around to use as filler.
Overall, I enjoy it at full cherry strength as often as I cut it with blander tobaccos.

A smooth smoke. Not overpowering. Taste is steady throughout the entire bowl. Cool start, cool finish.

If you like cherry aromatics, this is a good one. It smokes very cool, has a great flavor, and a very pleasant room note. The only knock on it is that the topping is fairly heavy and it might be a bit sweet for some.
