In search of a cherry tobacco, I came across Cherry Bomb by mistake. The smell when you open a tin, gives a very strong sweet cherry. The texture seemed to be compact and dry, but when you fluff the tobacco to get it ready for the load. You can see that it is just moist enough and perfect.
The smoke is a very pleasant one. It has a mild flavor, but hints of the cherry, and little vanilla in the background.
My wife said that it smelled like cherries, and she was in the other room from me. She really likes the room note of this tobacco compared to my other tobaccos that I have smoked.
I recommend this tobacco to Anyone looking for a Cherry tobacco that is mild and can be smoked at any time of day.

The tin aroma of this short-cut. fine ribbon is strongly of bright cherry with a distinct background of natural vanilla.
Expectedly, the black cavendish is smoothly monotone and, being VA-based, is extra rich and sweet. The topping tastes authentic, is almost sophisticated, and translates well into the smoke.
Cherrybomb is a quality blend that is quite pleasing, even if not deeply satisfying, and which is mellow enough for all-day puffing. This will ghost a briar and was best in a narrow gauge chamber.

the taste was pretty good but it did burn hot for me. every time i smoked it i would get complements on the smell of it. i think i would use it every once and a while just to change up the pace.

better than bella vanilla but still burns hot. the bite was not as bad as bella vanilla. had a nice cherry taste with a bit of vanilla as a side note. would get a higher rating if i didnt burn so hot that alone would haave smoothed out the flavor making it better. the nice thing was unlike bella vanilla was the flavor stayed almost all the way through. will finish the tin but most likely will not buy another tin

The CAO brand is for most beginners its definitely nice for a room note or if you have some friends around or family that would complain about the smell of a non aromatic blend. It burns a little hot, very little if any bite.

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.

The tin aroma is very cherry. I don't smell any vanilla. The tobacco is a little on the dry side. It packs well, lights well and stays lit without much effort.
The room note is incredible. It almost smells like potpourri instead of pipe tobacco. I've gotten rave reviews on the room note.
No tongue bite. I'm very susceptible to it and I got none.
The cherry flavoring is somewhat present in the smoke, but it takes on a slight chemical taste, maybe that's the cavendish, I don't know. I don't taste any vanilla in the smoke. There was no depth or structure in the natural flavors of the tobacco. It's a fairly one-dimensional smoke.
At this price point, I'm willing to bet that there are better cherry aromatics to be had. I gave this one a shot because my tobacconist carries it and doesn't have much of a selection anyway. If you're looking for a real people pleaser as far as room note goes, than this will fit the bill.
