i have never reviewed pipe tobacco, but i signed up here just to do so. i was feeling hopeful and a little excited after reading other reviews on cherry bomb, especially because i would like to find a good cherry. the room note is the only good thing i can point out. to me, it makes a room smell rather nice. that is where the pleasantries end. i was trying think for the benefit of readers, how to describe the taste, and then it came to me- cotton candy, wrapped in a dirty sock. that is as honest as i can be. i am sure there is a cherry out there that is worth buying, but i tell you, it is not this. in fact, i am tossing out the entire tin, and good riddance. i only wish i could forget the experience and get my money back. unfortunately, it ghosts your pipe, so it still haunts me, and defiled my pipe. if my word is not enough for you, then you had better try it in a cheap corn cob pipe. you will be throwing it out.

This is my first review. I am not very critical but this one deserves special note. I am sorry that this is the first CAO tobacco that I have tried. I hope I have the courage to try another.

My favorite blend is Dan's Da Vinci. I have Macbaren's Virginia #1 and Evinmore in rotation with a plumcake.

This will never gointo rotation.

When I say the room note is pleasant, I mean pleasant like the smell of a cherry scented urinal puck.

About halfway trhough the bowl this becomes less noticable. I finished the bowl and put the tin away. I had started into a new dublin shape with a nice horn stem. I have chastized myself and will try more of the tin but in a less beautiful pipe. I would hate the memory of this tobacco to make me dislike sucha beautiful pipe.

To be fair I have picked out several well reviewed CAO blends to make sure this is an abberation.
