Lane Limited Captain Black Red Sky
(2.95)
Red Sky is a rare blend - a tobacco with a cherry flavor and room note that isn't bitey or harsh. It starts with burleys and black cavendish with some bright Virginias, and has a rich, not-too-sweet cherry note that makes it a great addition to your aromatic rotation.

The cherry is the major topping, though I do note the presence of vanilla. There’s a bit of sugar from the black cavendish. The burley is a little toasty, nutty and earthy in a strong support role. There’s a hint of grass and citrus from the Virginia. The strength is a couple of steps past the mild mark, while the taste is a slot past the center of mild to medium. Has almost no nicotine. It's fairly creamy, burns cool at a reasonable pace with no bite, though there's some moisture left in the bowl. The flavor is very consistent to the finish. Requires an average number of relights. Has a very pleasant room note. Can be an all day smoke. The drawback is that the cherry taste is artificial at times to the point where I got a few light chemical notes - mostly at the beginning - and is occasionally a little syrupy.

This is a miss. There was .000001 cherry in my tin. After opening the tin and immediately transferring to a mason jar it reverted to the flavor of generic Lane tobacco by the second smoke. First, people buy aromatics for the unique flavors. This should be distinct and unmistakable CHERRY, but it's not. Second, the advertised flavor should be present in the tobacco for more than just one smoke. Not gonna bother with "maybe it was just this particular tin, let me buy another one".
