I rather liked this blend. Most Cavendish based aromatics taste like hot air to me and cause me to start over puffing for something that never comes, resulting in a nasty bite. I believe the addition of the Kentucky ameliorates this tendency for me adding body to this blend while not overtaking it. To me it is a great balance and should be done with more cavendish aromatics.
I was able to maintain a nice cadence with this and it was quite enjoyable. My pouch was 6 and a half years old and I do believe some of the topping may have flashed based on what other reviewers have said about the topping being the primary flavor. While I certainly tasted Cherry, it was subdued. With that said, the underlying leaf was never screaming out.
This is not the greatest cherry aromatic I have ever tasted, but it was enjoyable to my palate. I enjoyed smoking this one on the golf course as it was easy smoking and did nothing to distract me from my game or the respective socializing that comes with it. It is also mild enough to ensure several bowls while doing the same.
Three stars.

Finally found a place that sells this blend. Bought it and it's light on cherry sent. Big on cherry taste! Burns easy smoke it slow loses flavor around end. Will i buy it again? Yes because it's hard to find a cherry tobacco that doesn't taste like chemicals. This is one that got it right.

I don't know how to rate this blend. And that because I don't find this one to be a true aromatic. It doesn't smell such one when you smoke it. Also it hasn't any taste worth talking about! It is like blowing hot air from a tobacco that I find medium(to strong). Of course on the pouch it says "with hints of cherry" but when I bought it they said that is full of cherry flavor and aroma which I never found, except the very first time I smoke a bowl where I tasted some hints of cherry and I was left with a very light nice aftertaste.
It came wet as it should be for a nice smoke and it tends to get dry fast in the pouch in contrast to other classic aromatics.
I still dont know how to rate this blend but for sure it isn't the cherry aromatic someone whould expect it to be. There are a lot better aromatics with cherry flavor out there at the same or even lower price tag.
