The best cherry blend I have tried out of - borkum cherry cavendish (ugh - bitter low quality very weak topping but the new version is better than the old), borkum cherry liquer (not bad but very weak topping), SG black cherry (not bad), mcKlintock wild cherry (not bad). This one gets 4 stars because I want to taste cherry. Every other cherry I have tried just doesn't give me the sweet fizzy strong cherry blast I am looking for, which 7 seas delivers, all the way to the bottom of the bowl (more like raspberry actually), while still being able to taste the above average quality tobacco. What all aromatics should be modeled after.
My only criticism is that it comes in a 40g pouch instead of a 50g tin.

I just tried this yesterday and it has already become my favourite cherry blend. I have been a MacBaren smoker for over 20 years with my favourites being Virginia #1 and Mixture Scottish Blend. This has the body of both of those with a unique flavour that made me wish I had started the bowl earlier because I didn’t want to put it down.

There is definitely a strong cherry essence in the tin aroma.The cut is typical ribbon, but a bit thinner in my view. It lights easily enough and burns well. This is another of those European style Cavendish blends that are made from Virginia rather than Burley. The taste is light and the cherry is more of a wild cherry rather than a candy type cherry. The smoke is grassy with citrus notes in the background. The flavor is light and actually fades as the bowl progresses. The nicotine level is low and the ash is fine. Now, I typically smoke a lot of American aromatics and I must say that since I have been using the 7 Seas aromatics, I have noticed that they do cake the bowl more evenly than their Burley cousins. The other thing I notice is that the smoke is less abundant. When I return to my Burley blends, I am pushing clouds again. Most Cherry blends seem appropriate for the Winter, but this one seems more like the beginning of Summer.

Newly bought tin was a great smoke—smooth, flavorful, and cool. Light cherry aroma. Smokes cool and the bright citrus flavor of the Virginias comes through in pleasant bursts. Purchased 3 more tins. I was hoping to find a the Karl Erik No. 16. This isn't that but it is a great smoke!
