There are a ton of cherry blends out there, and most of them inhabit the same low shelf reserved for B grade blends that your friend who only smoked once raves about. I wish I could say that this blend, named after the badass, dragon-slaying patron saint of England, was as memorable and virtuous as its namesake. Unfortunately, Sutliff St. George's Blend neither inspired king Henry to charge once more into the breach, nor me to hazard a second bowl.

I was really looking forward to sampling St George's Blend. Especially after all the positive reviews I have read about it. However, I can only give it two stars. I tried it first in a new cob and, I confess, I packed and lit it right out of the tin. Perhaps a mistake. I immediately got a heavy, mouth numbing, chemical taste. After a bit, I did finally taste some cherry flavor but it never overrode the chemical flavor. By the time I finished the bowel I had a strong feeling of "goop" in my mouth. Nothing tasted right for the next day. I have tried drying the tobacco and this has helped a little but I still get the chemical/P&G goop sensation-taste. It is a shame, I was really looking forward to a good cherry blend even though I am not normally an aro guy. I do give it two stars because there IS some cherry flavor and it has a pleasant room note. Also, this is MY reaction, you may have a different one altogether.
