Lane Limited Captain Black Cherry

Code Red Cherry Mountain Dew frozen Slurpee from a 7-11 at 3am.

When a pipe tobacco does not need a humidor, you know it's been heavily sprayed with chemicals and it's here. The cherry flavoring is very strong, maybe the strongest I've ever tasted, even more so than the chemical onslaught of CAO Cherry Bomb. Lingering after-taste and pipe-ghosting. Luckily I have a pipe dedicated to cherry aromatics so it's not a catastrophe. Cherry is not unlike eating Sucrets cough drops by the handful.

Smokes hot and requires sipping to a whisper and it's not too bad and eliminates pipe-bite that way.

Stays surprisingly lit as if they added something like flash-paper shreds.

I almost exclusively smoke aromatics so I'm not as horrified; I prefer Sutliff and MacBaren. This is not a completely miserable smoke if you know what you're getting into. This is sort of trailer-trash stuff but sometimes it can be fun. It's not unlike eating 1985 Spencer's Gifts cherry edible underwear topped with cherry body whipped cream that numbs your tongue and senses. Like a cherry fruit roll-up that's been sitting under a car seat for 10 years and it's over 100 degrees outside and you "go for it" as it melts all over your hands and you question your life choices.

I bought simultaneously Lane Limited Very Cherry in comparison and LL's VC is notably better and less obscene. I was suspicious if LL (who makes CB) just copy-pasted their VC and sprayed preservatives to keep it "over the counter" quality.

I'd recommend this if you REALLY want a LOT of cherry flavoring and know how to SLOWLY smoke this thing. I mean, sometimes aromatic fans want a face punch of politically incorrect Funny Face Chinese Cherry from 1971 and zero tobacco flavor.

I'd recommend for the aromatic connoisseur in need of cherry: Mac Baren: Cherry Ambrosia Cult: Blood Red Moon Peter Stokkebye: Cherry Bon-Bon Sutliff: Cherry Cavandish Gawith, Hoggarth & Co. - Kendal: Top Black Cherry

..and if you're immune to chemicals, CAO Cherry Bomb.

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.

On its own I do not care for this blend. Its a bit too medicine like for my tastes. I found that if I blend one package of Cherry with four packages of Capt Black Royal, it becomes a very nice smoke and gives the Royal a nice cherry kick.

Update: Again on its own, this blend is not very good, where it shines is blending with other tobaccos. I find that one package of Cherry will flavor one pound of tobacco. Very excellent tobacco for blending but on its own, not any fun.

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.

Hi, my name is Pollyanna and this is a foul bodied, cave n' dish cherry chapstick. too bad I don't have a cowhide-tongue.

ribbon cut is a plus for easy gifting.
