Mac Baren Cherry Ambrosia
(2.19)
In Cherry Ambrosia numerous different raw tobaccos are used. From the bright flue-cured Virginia tobaccos, to the selected loose cut and ready rubbed Burleys over the black Modern Cavendish, to a hint of oriental tobaccos. On top of this a special cherry flavour rounds up the blend giving it its sweet, aromatic taste of ripe cherries combined with a supporting tobacco flavor. It is a very nice blend for the aromatic smoker, who wants to enjoy a good solid blend with a sweet aromatic taste.
Notes: Introduced in 1991. Due to EU regulations, it is now re-named and sold in those countries as "Red Ambrosia".
Some retailers and tin descriptions also mention a Jamaican rum flavoring. However, Mac Baren's website only mentions the cherry flavoring.

Occasionally on a sunny day, in a cob in the garden, Cherry Ambrosia delivers a smooth and sweet sensation. Those times it can actually taste better than any other one of MacBaren's mixtures, including the flagship HH much-ados about nuttin'. Other times, more frequently I must admit, the result is the typical MacBaren acrid burley and nothing else. Cherry taste? Never. One pouch goes far.

Cherry it is. Very strong taste of cherry in this. It is the sweetest of them I have tried. Smells very good to others and taste is very pleasant. It does tend to bite when fresh due to the casings being so heavy. Drying will improve this. It has a tangy aftertaste and cleaning of your pipe is required regularly smoking this. It tends to build a tar taste at the bottom of the bowl that builds rather quickly and boils. Smoking this sweet tobacco does tend to give me a metal aftertaste if I smoke a lot of it. Great for a treat now and then but not as regular day to day blend. I highly recommend this for that purpose. It is very good.
