Boswell Pipes & Tobacco Cherry Smash

(2.91)
Blend of Cavendish Tobacco flavored with a rich cherry mixture... Full aromatic, medium to full bodied yet gentle. One of J.M.'s first masterful blends 30 years ago. While smoking the cherry aroma gives way to an agreeable, light tobacco flavor. Burns easily to the end.

Probably the best cherry pipe tobacco you can find. It's a "perfect cherry" blend in my opinion and I'm a fan of aromatics. No chemical taste and seems all-natural flavoring.

Burns cool and stayed lit. Flavor remained throughout.

Reminds me of homemade cherry cobbler at 1 pm at a family diner with a bit of a Graham-cracker finish. Truly remarkable. It does lack a hint of depth and richness, but seriously, of the 50 some-odd cherry tobaccos I've tried, this is THE one.

MacBaren's Cherry Ambrosia has too much vanilla flavoring as does Sutliff due to the Cavendish process but this one is pure cherry without being chemical-synthetic or rude. Just perfect.

Cherry aromatics get a bad rap, and usually for good reason. Most burn hot, sizzle your tongue, are cloying, and taste artificial. Thats not the case here.

I get a craving for cherry blends every so often, and McClelland M-27 was my go to. Well, we all know what happened there.

Appears to be a blend of 3 different Cavendish tobaccos. Moisture content is on par with most of Boswell's blends, meaning they are smokeable on delivery. Lighting and packing seemed to go without an issue as well.

Flavors are terrific. Very reminiscent of McClellands M-27 cherry I was in love with. No hints of tongue bite if sipped slowly. Which you should anyway to get the intended flavor. All in all one of the best cherry blends available, which is why it has been around for 40 years.

As far as aros go, this is 4 stars all day long

I have the pleasure of being able to drive to Boswells shop. These folks are beyond great folks. I have sampled alot of their blends. The cherry was one that I thought--what the heck--I wil give it a try. In my past experience with cherry pipe tobaccos I found them to bite back--especially in the back of my throat. Unfortunately this one was no different. I found it to bite harder than I expected. I won't be smoking this again. The Boswell family has far more greater, and better blends.

i dont like cherry blends. they are too busy trying to be cherry,while burning your tongue out.this one is subtle. i thought this is a mild blend while lighting. then afraid of possible bite i smoked slowly.sweet overtones of cherry,no bite,no steam.a very good blend made to be enjoyed with your nose in the smoke! this blend never overpowered. it continued to build to a full boquet of pleasure.i will buy this again and again.the only other cherry blend i cared to smoke more than once unfortunately left a ghost in my pipe for days. not this one.also smoked dry. this is a four star blend with a nice aroma.blender knew what he was doing.great flavor.

I must agree with my fellow puffer.This tobacco has a nice aroma in the pouch,but not a real cherry aroma.While smoking ,the cherry flavor and smell are are faintly present in the background.The tobacco packs, lights, smokes well, does'nt get hot,and no tongue bite.But if your looking for a true cherry tobacco this isn't it.If you want a mild tobacco with a hint of cherry(?)then give it a try.

In my search to find a great cherry blend, I had to give this one a try. The pouch aroma is not very ?cherry? smelling. Upon lighting this one up, I was waiting for ?cherry FLAVOR?. It?s there, but only slight as a background. Coming from Washington, I know what a good cherry should taste like so maybe I am a bit bias. This blend has more of a sweet cherry taste rather than a bold/robust cherry flavor that I was expecting. This blend is ?wimpy? when it comes to providing a true cherry flavor. Not a bad tobacco taste, but if it?s cherry flavor your looking for, Pipeworks & Wilke?s Cherry Cavendish blows this one away hands down!

A nice cherry aromatic that does not hit you in the face with artificial cherry flavor or that chemical taste. It is on the sweetside, and pleasing. Smoke slowly and no bite. Easy smoke and comes out of the tin with no wetness or goopy feel. It is a nice aromatic for those days when you are in the mood to have a dessert in your pipe.

let me preface by saying I'm not a fan of cherry aromatic blends, but man do they smell good! This is a simple, traditional cherry cavendish. It doesn't bite, but it will make a threat if smoked too aggressively, and/or doesn't have enough drying time. Keep it cool, and Bob's your uncle. It's a must try for cherry fans.

When This first arrived I was excited to try it, that excitement quickly lead to disappointment. It was "perfumy" and I didn't care for it one bit. after letting it sit for about a month that perfume taste has mellowed to an acceptable range. You will have no problem finding the cherry flavor in this one, Not an all day smoke for me but definitely worth a try and something nice to have for a change.
