This is easily the most cased/flavored tobacco that I have ever put in my pipe. It won't find it's way there again...
It smells sickeningly sweet out of the bag. Add to that a medicine cherry aroma similar to children's Nyquil.
Like many other Altadis blends, this tobacco is wet and burns hot. So if you are adventurous and want to try it, make sure you dry it overnight and watch your tongue.
I've tried a couple cherry blends that I've enjoyed, so I wasn't going to not smoke this just because I didn't like how it smelled. Well, the flavor was just as bad. Once again, think children's Nyquil and you have an idea of what it tastes like. I'm really glad that I used a cob for this, because the ghosts would have ruined a briar. They're so bad, that my cob still wreaks of cherry after multiple salt/alcohol treatments.
Smokers beware! This blend will offend your nose, taste buds, and tongue!

As I'd already reviewed, with mixed results, the other two pouches that came in my Altadis sampler pack (the others being Blue Note and Fox & Hound), I figured I'd bite the bullet and fill my bowl this morning with the one I was dreading the most: Wild Cherry. I was dreading it because I'm not a cherry fan (in fact, I pretty much hate it. I love cherries, but cherry flavoring tastes as much like real cherries as banana flavored candy tastes like real bananas. Think about it.), and also because the smell coming from the pouch was so strong it was actually a bit stomach-churning.
Filled it, lit it - surprise! Where's the cherry? Strange. The overwhelming medicinal odor coming from the raw 'baccy changes as it burns into a very mellow, fairly pleasant and *mild* cherry aroma. The taste has even less cherry in it. In fact, it has very little flavor at all.
Once again, Altadis has managed to create an aberration among drug store blends; in fact, even the preservative (which should be stomping all over this one) seems to be lacking. Oh, I know it's in there, I just can't taste it.
Wild Cherry isn't a horrible blend, but it's hard to recommend with no real flavor to the casing or tobacco.

ORIGINAL REVIEW: Similar to my review for Altadis Blue Note, only that this one reminded me of Tinderbox's Anniversary Cherry that I smoked many years ago. I like cherry flavoring, but it didn't really come through very much on this one for me; although it was very definitely there in the pouch aroma. Too much moisture gooping up the pipe. No appreciable tobacco taste. Not a hot smoke, but not an enjoyable one either. I don't think I'd ever have the whim for this one again. If you like cherry-cased blends, give it a try and compare it to your favorite one out there and see for yourself.
UPDATE 6-24-09: I've been letting this one sit in its pouch slightly opened. It was no longer moist to the touch but not by any means dry. The PG was not totally gone by way of taste, but considerably toned down. I put some in one of two Ropp cherrywood pipes that are 30 years old or so. Let me say that other, non-cherry-flavored tobacco smoked in either of these two pipes do not come through with any residual cherry flavor from the wood of the pipes. The first smokes in these pipes many years ago would give a hint of cherry flavoring, but that has long since disappeared. Anyway, this Wild Cherry blend was quite good at this point. There was the taste and aroma of cherries - not medicinal by any stretch. The overall experience was a sweet, cherry tasting tobacco. The closest to what I would describe as "sweet and buttery." There was no harshness nor gurgle of any appreciable note. I've upgraded this to 3 stars. I do believe the 2 months sitting slightly opened has helped this blend immensely. One that I will add to my aromatic rotation only after treating any new pouch in the same manner.

This tobacco was a sampler that I tried, and I am glad I used a cob. This blend burns somewhat mildly but it is wet and really strong in cherry flavor. I am not surprised, but am alarmed that anyone would want to have a blend this strong in a pipe. I did try it toned down with some burly and it was a bit more tolerable.

The casing on this one is reminiscent of plastic that has been in contact with something in the cherry medicinal family for a long time. It certainly does a poor impersonation of tobacco. The strongest thing about this tobacco is the ghosts it imparts into ones pipe. Thankfully I smoked this in a cob. I doubt even cherry tobacco afficianados would want this one.
