Lane Limited Captain Black Cherry
(1.61)
The cherry blend combines sweet-smoking cavendish leaf with a sound kick of cherry casing, for a very flavorful smoke. Exceptionally mild, delightfully aromatic.
Notes: Due to EU regulations, this is now sold in some European countries as Ruby.

The cherry topping is too chemical-like, and is the dominant flavor. There's a light vanilla note or two here from the sugary black cavendish that lurks throughout the smoke. The grassy, citrusy gold cavendish can be tasted, though it's toned down from the topping by design. The strength is very mild, while the taste is mild. Hardly has any nicotine. Burns too hot, and can bite if you are puffing beyond a moderate pace, which is the burn rate. Leaves too much moisture in the bowl, and needs some relights as it’s moist and burns wet. An all day smoke with a very consistent flavor.

Just coming back to pipe smoking after 25 years away from it, and after about 2 months, I'm so far happy with experimenting with different tobaccos. Experimentation with this blend will definitely not happen again.
I pick up a pouch of the stuff as I was low on money and out of my Davidoff Blue. The smokeshop I went to (first timer there) had pretty much only sisha, hookahs and cigars, but they did have Captain Black cherry, gold, white and royal. So I said "Sure why not, I'll try the cherry".
Out of the pouch, it smelled good.... a bit like candy....not over the top, but I was hoping the smoke would have a similar taste. After lighting, I was disappointed. Another reviewer here described the taste as similar to cherry chapstick and that's a good description. I actually thought the taste was reminiscent of the nasty cherry flavored penicillin my doctor used to give me as a child.... Tasted like I bit off a chunk of cherry chapstick and washed it down with the cherry medicine. It seemed to smoke hot with me and had a slight bite to it, no matter how slow I smoked. I gave it a chance to get halfway through the bowl to see if the flavor would change. Nope.
I was driving at the time, and the car smelled okay, but something about the lingering scent gave me a slight headache as inhaling furniture polish might. Later in the day my car didn't smell anything like how it did when I smoked it....it made my car smell stale....sort of like a cross between wet dog, cherry chapstick and cheap tequila.
As a lady pipe smoker, a few guy friends of mine assumed I would try this stuff. "Don't gals like aromatics?" one of them asked. And while I do like aro's, I'll probably never buy this again.

Smoking Captain Black Cherry is like struggling to train a wet angry biting but nice smelling dog that you managed to buy for a small price. Not Recommended.

Not a good choice for a real pipe smoker. This is the worst cherry i've ever smoked. No taste, smells like linctus. Hot burning tobacco.

ABSOLUTELY THE MOST LOATHSOME PIPE TOBACCO I'VE HAD THE MISPLEASURE OF SMOKING. I WOULD HAVE THROWN IT OUT IMMEDIATELY AFTER OPENING THE PACKAGE, BUT MY WIFE, IN AN EPISODE OF LUNACY BOUGHT ME THIS TRASH, AND FOR MARITAL HARMONEY I SMOKED VERY FEW BOWLS BEFORE FLUSHING IT DOWN THE TOILET. I'D RATHER SMOKE DRIED OAK/PINE LEAVES AS ME AND MY FRIENDS DID IN OUR EARLY ADOLESCENCE. ABSOLUTELY/POSITIVELY REVOLTING (AND THAT'S AN INSULT TO THE TERM REVOLTING)!!!!

A really disappointing blend.like other C.Black blends i tried the philosophy is the same.full cavendish blends with chemical smell and not a hint of tobacco flavour.the smell when you beeak the seal is somewhat pleasant,the moisture is really high and even if i left it several hours to dry out it just didn't.while smoking the taste is bad and not natural.seems to me like chewing a cherry gum.no tobacco taste at all.burns really hot and ghosts the pipe very easy.one bowl was enough to destroy a 9mm carbon filter.even when i went hard on that i got no nicotine but only tongue bite wich is weird..the aftertaste is bad.the room note was pleasant but very tense.for someone who likes the C. Black's blends it can be an all day smoke.not recommended

I like to do a review of a tobacco once I've smoked a tin/pouch to get a fair assessment based on a couple dozen bowls. I can't do that with CBCherry. I can't bring myself to load another bowl with it. This stuff is nasty. Overpowering sickly sweet pouch note that you can smell across the room and permeates all tobacco it is stored with. Burns hot, terrible flavor, no appreciable nicotine, and for your trouble it ghosts your pipe like Halloween night. The saving grace is room note but by the time you get that far into it you are overpowered by the scent already and just want to be done with it. Got the pouch for $1 and I get the feeling I've been taken. Unfortunately I'm too cheap to discard it and I don't know any other pipe smokers to "gift" it to so I guess I'll use it to make an insecticide in the garden or chicken house.

I thought this would at least be tolerable but after giving it a good try (a full pack), I have to say that it was complete disappointment.
It smelled like a very strong chemical topping, smoked hot with an extreme tongue bite and had the flavor of hot ash.
One of Captain Blacks extreme disappointments.

I received this as a part of an unreal deal on a Captain Black pouch assortment. Otherwise, I would have never bought it.
The pouch note is wonderful - but enough about its good qualities.
The cherry is barely noticeable being cleverly masked by a chemical taste. Smoke it slow as it bites when it gets even remotely hot. This is one of the worst tobacco's I have ever smoke. It might make a good potpourri, but don't smoke it!

Wow, this stuff is as rough as a 60 year old lady trucker. The aroma is intoxicatingly strong, it packs a punch and is almost sour smelling in the pouch. It's dry for an aromatic, can't tell ya how it smokes because I don't know if I can go back to another bowl. It's hot, it bites, and it's nasty. The only thing I can see for it is to add a pinch of it to a handful of a good black cavindish or a vanilla blend to make a decent Cherry Vanilla blend...that's what I bought it for. Other than that it has no use for anyone, If there was a real "Captain Black", even he woulnd't smoke this stuff. Hopefully no first timers try this because they will quit and miss out on the wonderful pleasure of pipe smoking.
