Peter Stokkebye Cherry Bonbon (No. 305)

The toasted sugar sweet black cavendish provides the base for the mild cherry and chocolate toppings. The toppings have no chemical or artificialness to them. Has no bite, and won’t get harsh. Has little nicotine. It’s a little closer to mild than it is to medium in strength and taste. Burns at a reasonable rate, cool and clean with smooth, mostly consistent flavor. The toppings do weaken just a mite in the last quarter. Needs few relights, and leaves just a little moisture in the bowl. Has a pleasant after taste and room note. An easy going all day smoke.

I really enjoyed this blend and will be keeping it in my regular rotation. I love black cavendish tobaccos and have been looking for a mild cherry flavored one so added a few ounces of this to my regular tobacco order. Has a great pouch note, not too strong, not at all "cough drop" smelling at all like many cherry flavored tobaccos. I didn't expect much from the chocolate bit described on the advertisement but was really hunting a good cherry. Anyways I was pleasantly surprised when I could actually taste a bit of chocolate and the cherry was just perfect. Burns well with no relights, not too moist and requires no drying out. No tongue bite and a very mild smoke. I can't recommend this tobacco enough especially for novice smokers and aromatic lovers.

Incredible pouch note, mine was a little moist and burned a little hot, but I think with a little dry time it will improve. Taste was pleasant with minimal bite. One of my wife's favorites concerning the room note. Not bad overall, I likely will not keep it in my rotation, but I would not turn it down if someone offered a bowl.

UPDATE - I dried it out a little and what a difference - cooled down and no bite! I think this will be my go-to cherry. Moving from 3 to 4 stars

I am a very new pipe smoker and so far have been pretty limited in what types of tobacco I have been able to acquire. The local smoke shops carry exclusively aromatics. I decided to give this one a shot even though I have typically not like cherry flavor when added to things. I was very pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed smoking this blend. I would recommend that anyone considering a cherry blend give this one a chance.

This is my first review but liked this enough to do one. I'm not an Aromatic smoker as a rule and Cherry flavor even less so. But PS Cherry Bon Bon is excellent. Nice pouch smell, the Cherry flavor is not medicinal as most are and there is a faint taste of chocolate in the back ground. Great taste. I puff fast but no tongue bite with this one. The strength is a medium to strong which is quite pleasant. This is the first Aromatic to really make a positive impression on me and it will become a regular part of my rotation, right up there with my English and Virginia/Perique blends. Surprised there aren't more reviews, since I think most would like this one. Like many PS blends the price is good too. I recommend you try it. You might get a pleasing surprise, I did.

A nice subtle cherry flavor with a very nice note of tartness. A touch of chocolate. A nice toasty Black Cavendish. Not very sweet and that works well here. More sweetness would probably detract from the tartness.

Black Cav aros are not my favorite type, but I've found a few really good ones lately and my attitude is starting to change. This is one of the really good ones.

Mild to medium in body and flavor. Flavoring is mild. Takes a few lights to get it going, but burns well after that.

Finally, a truly excellent cherry flavored aromatic!

It's not too moist or heavily cased like many cheaper aromatics, and It doesn't bite at all - surprising considering it's a bulk aro. The topping is really nice, and isn't overly sweet, and it's clear the underlying Black Cavendish tobacco is of high quality. The smokey cherry-chocolate flavor is fantastic, and blends together in sweet harmony.

Cherry Bonbon is delectable, yum! One of the best aros I've ever tried!

Now this is a black cav aromatic! It's axiomatic that there ain't a lot of decent cherry aromatics out there, but this one is wonderful. Much like CB Dark or BCA with cherry added, but ballsier, somehow. I get a rich tobacco flavor and chocolate-cherry on the tin note; in fact, it's the same scent if you bought a box of good cherry cordials and mashed them together. The room note is exquisite, good cherry scent but not overwhelming. The chocolate is there but not as pronounced. Love the chocolate note on the false light!

Great burn, no bite, flavor gets richer as you go through the bowl. Let it dry 15-20 minutes first. Other reviewers agree: this is a mad smoke, addicting. Yeah, I like almost anything, but this is delightful. Probably a 3.4 - 3.7 smoke, but I wasn't gonna give it a 3 to bring the rating down, lol.

This cherry blend is truly one of its kind! if you don't like cherry try this one, you will change your mind.
