Nowadays labeled as "Marcante" I found this to be really bland. Unlike it's Peach brother ("autêntico") the flavoring doesn't fix in the tobacco at all, and in the end feels pretty artificial. While the Peach flavoring adds body to the usual very light CG 's Virginias here we have the almost tasteless tobacco wearing a heavy Cherry deodorant sprayed jacket.
Im used to smoke captain black cherry, once it said, there's nothing to compare with this brazilian blend. Here the scent is weak, not in a totally bad way but i was expecting feel more cherry smell and flavor in it, also the first smell i spotted was an wax-ish similar to lip balm. Talking about the tobacco quality, it keeps the average brand quality, nothing special here, i would say this cherry mixture is one of the worsts aromatic tobacco i have tasted in the last years. The worst option among all options of this brand. For those who seek a blend that says it has cherry but doesn't have, this is for you (im ironic), if u are searching for a strong cherry flavor go to captain black or something else. 1 and half stars bc its cheap, good smoke quality, easy to find, easy to pack, easy to keep it lit, so it can fit as an all-day-smoke to somebody.
When opening the bag has a very good cherry scent, however is a bit humid, so I recommend let it dry for a few minutes. Although an excellent aroma it seems that the additive used is not very strong, so it does not bite, it is an ideal aroma. The burn is very good, has a good taste of tobacco although it is an aromatic, but a bit bitter in the end. I think he's better than his competitors Captain Black, Seven Seas and Borkum Riff. Recommended for those who like aromatics. Note: I wrote the evaluation in Portuguese and I used the translator, so there may be some translation errors.
The fashion in the package becomes a bit more desirable for the account of the chemical flavorings, with that, the smoked becomes a little more difficult and slow, sometimes a light bubble can happen in the bottom of the fornilho. Although it is an honest tobacco and great to be smoked.
Pipe Used: Cured wood.
Purchased From: Tabacaria Falabella, São Paulo, SP - BR
a good, fully aromatic brazilian Tobacco. claimed to have only virginia, seems to have also Cavendish Tobacco. It have an intense Cherry flavour, but may be smoke slowly and in small quantities, since it seems to be strong in nicotine.
