Lane Limited Captain Black Cherry

Pouch note is cherry hard candy. Actually one of the best cherry pouch notes I’ve smelled. No tobacco smell at all just cherry. Moisture level isn’t bad. It’s a little sticky but not goopy. Lights just fine.

The taste is a cherry candy, sweet cavendish, and a slight plastic artificial taste. That’s about it. It’s mild. The retrohale made me sneeze. It did burn hot, would probably bite. Very one dimensional, sweet cavendish and some cherry however it quickly goes away. There’s no tobacco flavors to it. The room note I was told was very nice. Obviously cherry. Wasn’t awful but wasn’t good. A lot of hot air and little body.

If this was the last pouch of tobacco I had I would give up pipe smoking. One star.

I wanted to like it so bad! However, I had to face the music and admit: it simply has an artificial, cheap cherry aroma. The tobacco itself smokes fine and lights fine. Has a proper smoke and mouth feel, but the cherry is kills it. "Artificial" is the one word that sums it up. The room note isn't bad; it's just cheap, fake cherry. As far as flavor, there wasn't any. The taste pushed no cherry whatsoever. If you're looking for nice cherry, it won't be found here.

I approached this blend as unbiased as I could. I love a good aromatic and if there's the little extra intensity in flavoring, I'd gladly take it too. I end up both delighted and disappointed with Captain Black Cherry.

The tobacco comes a little moist and sticky. The pouch note is very obviously cherry. Maybe that's what worried me a little. Not too artificial though, pleasant.

Packing the ribbon cut is simple, drying beforehand is highly recommended. Average number of relights needed. Nothing out of the ordinary.

The smoke is beautifully thick white. The pure volume is pleasant to look at. The room note is wonderful. Enjoyable and surprisingly mild on retrohales.

There's an earthy note to the tobacco. Every now and then the cherry is actually shining through in taste as well. Beyond that the tobacco is fairly one-dimensional. The big no for me is the bitterness of the tobacco that comes through more and more. It becomes increasingly harsh to the smoker while everyone else enjoys the smell. Contrary to other people here, it didn't burn hot. However, even for a slow smoker it seems impossible to smoke without eventual tongue bite.

Burns wet, leaves some residue in the bowl, may gurgle a little despite drying to the crinkle-point. Leaves an interesting, unfamiliar aftertaste in the mouth, not unpleasant, but not sure whether that's good.

This tobacco sadly ends up being enjoyable to everyone but the one smoking it. I wish it tasted better

I decided to order a pouch of this because I enjoy other CB blends. With so many decent cherry/berry type aromatic blends on the market I fail to understand why anyone would choose to smoke this.

Very big dissatisfaction.Bland and horrible tobacco.From pouch coming strange chemical flavouring. No cherry smell at all. Burns hot, gives tongue bite, huge harshness. Completely tasteless stuff. Very bad aftertaste. Skip away, not recommending at all..... Lazarus77

This stuff is very Mild, the cherry flavour and taste also. not bad, but it is not the best Captain Black's tobacco, neither the best Cherry.

You either like Cherry flavoring or you do not. I use to use "Dip" back in my day. All I could think about when I smelled and smoked this is it should be tucked in my lower lip. Not sure if I will smoke any Cherry blend due to my experience with this.

Had to try it, it was on the shelf at the smoke shop,

Absolutely BAD.

Why would the MFG continue to make this blend?

not even worth a 2nd bowl. I just hope I can save this pipe.

Smoking this is like slowly killing your pipe,smoke after smoke and it dies of a heart attack. Even though that sounds poetic its true. This artificial crap just clogged my pipe. It was all syrup, tasted like cherry cough syrup, and bit my tongue. There are pros to it of course; like all candy aromatics it smells awesome in the bag and smells just as nice when smoked. Cherry flavoring is so much like vanilla, there's good ways to make em' and bad ways to make em'. This is a bad way. Ohh for those who do want to try and brave this baccy, I would advise to smoke only in a cob, for the exact reason I aforementioned.
