Well, here's a rarity - an aromatic a little bit on the cheap side that looks and smells a bit fake, but actually manages to produce completely decent smoke, at least compared to many other cherried blends (from what I've smoked).
Opening the pouch gives the standard 'oh well, here we go again'-feeling as it's mostly like a mix of cheap perfumes. Stuffing the first bowl I'm not expecting very much, to be honest. But surprisingly, it's a completely OK cherry blend, the taste is almost wholesome, and not nearly as fake as the pouch note would lead one to believe. It's cherry forward obviously, but they have managed to keep it reasonable. Room note is OK as well. It does have that tendency to start tasting charred and sooty towards the end of the bowl that someone already mentioned, but that just means that this is not as cheap a blend as the price would lead to believe, but more like mid-range (as you'll be throwing something like 1/3 to 1/4 of each bowl away).
Would buy again if in the mood for a cherry blend (which would happen relatively rarely). Either this, or Borkum Riff Ruby.

It is a very light tobacco, the beginning of the smoke begins with notes of red fruit very aerated then this taste becomes a bit more bitter which adds a little body to the smoking but the note of fruit remains until the end of the Smoking where this fruity taste disappears and leaves room for bitterness. It's not an all-time smoke. It does not have great pretensions but is nice anyway.
