The Virginias are lightly grassy with a little citrus, and a very light floral hit. The burley is nutty, earthy, woody, and lightly molasses sweet and is a supporting player. The black cavendish offers a minor sugar note. The black cherry topping fairly tones down the tobaccos, though they will show themselves a little more in the last third of the experience. The strength is a step past the mild mark, while the taste is in the center of mild to medium. Has little nicotine. Won’t bite or get harsh. Burns cool and clean at a regular pace with a relatively smooth, if unremarkable flavor due to the topping lacking some depth. Requires some relights. Leaves too much wetness in the bowl, bordering on goop. Has a short lived, pleasant after taste and room note. Moderately sweet. Gets two stars for the wetness even though the tobacco is not overly moist.

A delicate flavouring of cherry tonic combined with quality tobacco in the sophisticated cavendish preparation tradition combine to make E.A. Carey's Black Cherry Supreme an exquisitely rich offering at a practical price.
If you are not a sweet aromatic blend fan I would avoid trying and certainly not reviewing a blend such as this as your predisposition will probably skew any pretence of objectivity. I am so, so fatigued by so many fellow reviewers who savage sweet aromatic blends simply because they are precisely that - aromatic and sweet. I myself, for instance, am not particularly fond of English blends. Accordingly, I infrequently smoke and rarely review any because of such prejudice. What purpose would it serve to observe, "OMG...I can't stand the suffocating Latakia in this mixture!"
That said, this is simply and purely another excellent E.A. Carey tobac whose mixtures are rarely reviewed and draw scant attention on tobaccoreviews.com. I am at a loss to know why because in my opinion ounce for ounce, penny for penny they are among the very best of all the eclectic blends reviewed on this website. Trust me - You will not go wrong with many of the offerings of this unheralded and underrated tobac emporium. Happy hunting!

EA Carey's Black Cherry Supreme; is a blend of Burley, Virginia, and Black Cavendish with a hint of cherry. It is a flake cut and smokes slightly "wet", and needs to be "relighted". I like it as an "after-dinner" smoke, with its cherry notes. The women give positive compliments to its smell. It is one of the most economical blends at EA Carey.
