I found this to be extremely difficult to light on account of the excess moisture, and when I did get it lit, I could hardly taste or smell anything that reminded me of cherries. Where is that cherry blend that my grandfather smoked and turned me onto the pipe in the first place? Certainly not here.

All things are relative and all smokes subjective.
This tobacco is as dark as Newgate’s knocker - a cavendish, I believe, with a very synthetic, ott, cherry gloop added to it, but not enticing in the “Cherry Ripe” sense; this doesn’t say “smoke me”, this says “get a couple of pounds of sugar, half a dozen eggs and some flour; we’re baking tonight!”
The smoke is as overpowering as the pouch note, like going three rounds with a heavyweight boxer - your mouth gets pummelled with right and left hooks, before a devastating upper cut forces you to put the pipe down for a rest and a cup of tea.
This will ghost a pipe worse than Marley can haunt Scrooge - it does not dissipate, even after you give the pipe a good clean out so be warned.
In my humble opinion, there are better, more subtle, cherry aromatics out there - Samuel Gawiths Black Cherry for instance - that I won’t be buying this one again.
To each their own and to all a good pipe but not one for me.

i bought a 25g pouch of this tobacco a couple of days ago.upon opening the pouch the aroma is quite nice and the look of the tobacco was nice and dark..but...it was so dry to the touch..so i first had to put some moisture back into it..and i had to rub it out as it was far to course..now having tried 'sweet peach' and 'cherry and vanilla' i thought this 'black cherry' was going to be a nice smoke....wrong!!!..for me its tasteless and bland..and not nice at all..i did give a it fair shot..but in the end i mixed it with the last of some 'sweet peach' that i had..and it still was not very good. so i wont be buying this kendal tobacco again, others may like it..but i didnt.
