If you're a fan of heavily-flavored aromatics, then this is definitely a tobacco to consider. This is a rough cut blend that packs very easily. It burned fairly hot and left some dottle in the pipe but that could be down to my technique more than the tobacco itself. Room note is excellent; I doubt you'll hear a complaint from anyone passing by.
You'll taste a whole lot of sweetness (a bit too much for me personally) at the first puff with plenty of cherry & vanilla flavor. This sweetness will stick around for about half of your smoke, but the cherry topping remains detectable all the way to the bottom of the bowl. The cavendish tobacco itself is fairly detectable but definitely not the star of the show, adding some pleasant bitterness & backbone to the cherry flavor.
My personal taste for cherry aromatics has been dampened due to a poor experience with an infamous black cherry OTC blend, but if you really like cherry then this bulk tobacco will fit the bill.

This is a very pleasant cherry blend bulk aromatic, it is indeed what it claims to be. Of all aromatics I find that I might have a preference for cherry (to my surprise) and if that is true for you then give this a go. I will say up front that since I am not a several bowl a day smoker that price point is not my top concern and since this doesn't compare to Cult Blood Red Moon which is one of the best cherry aromatics on the market I will probably not order this again. This is mild, cherry flavorful, bite free, pleasing in aroma, and very inexpensive- all good!

I could have sworn I reviewed this blend around 15 years ago back when it was an Altadis offering but I digress…
The wife after quitting cigarettes has begun hating anything other than the aroma of cherry tobacco (of course it had to be Cherry of all things..) so here I am again on a Cherry hunt she and I can enjoy.
Z50 is about as close to Cherry perfection as one can obtain IMHO.. I would prefer a burley topped with cherry but through trials I have found that it’s the burley that offends her. Black cavendish such as this with a sprinkle of golden Virginia keeps her happy and the cherry flavoring is non offensive to those opposed to cherry blends. No nicotine so that’s an issue but I’ll happily smoke SOMETHING over nothing as she really gets heated these days if I stink of tobacco… four stars for a cherry aromatic but three for me as it’s really not my thing but I can recommend it as it does taste and smell wonderful.

Both the burn and flavor were consistent throughout the smoke. The room note was strong, but is very pleasant. A sweeter smoke, hints of vanilla and a solid, but not overpowering cherry flavor.

A tasty sweet aromatic in the vein of Capt.Black or 1Q, etc., as far as sweetness and body. The difference is a cherry finish predominately instead of vanilla, without being horribly cherry. Much less cherry than TK6. More like a cherry "something". Not really a chocolate covered cherry but more like a cherry brownie? or pastry? Pouch note, flavor, and room note surprisingly seem to stay pretty close to each other. Room note has always been received very well. My bag was quite moist, and needed multiple lightings. Left some goop, but that is normal with new bags of heavily aromatic blends. I've blended cherry blends with black cavendish, vanilla cavendish, etc, experimenting with different levels for my own cherry aromatic. Honestly, this is basically what I was shooting for. When you're in the mood for a sweet smoke, but not a full cherry based, this is a good one.

A mild, flavorful, bite free American style aromatic. I’m in agreement with another reviewer who mentioned a blueberry taste/aroma. I don’t really get cherry as much as I do a general berry essence. Some vanilla in the background really softens the tang from the fruit notes. A bit damp when purchased, so I’d recommend drying just a bit. However, too much dry time greatly mutes the aromatic qualities to it’s detriment. Perfect aromatic for when pleasant room note is a consideration. Scratches the itch for something mild and unobtrusive. A good deal of the aromatic flavoring comes through in the smoke if the pace is kept gentle. Only slight ding on this one is the rather chunky/course cut which is not my favorite. As an aromatic, it’s excellent and accomplishes everything I’m looking for in the style.

This was one I picked up during a bulk sale where I grabbed a bunch of 1oz samples to try.
The bag note makes you want to eat it. Cherry and vanilla. Not overly sticky and take a light very easily. The smoke to me comes across as a nice Cherry/Vanilla mix. As long as not pushed it doesn't burn overly hot. The room note is wonderful and will get compliments.
