Mac Baren Cherry Ambrosia

It's been awhile since I've tried this, but I want to clean it from my to-do slate. It's a decent cherry, smells nice and looks like some good tobacco. The cherry isn't overpowering. I've tried two cherry type tobaccos. This one of MacBaren's and another bulk version. The bulk version gummed up a pipe with horrible ghosting I had to get rid of it. The MacBaren cherry didn't tend to do it, but maybe for 2 bowls later. It won't be in my rotation, it's decent, but I'm not a cherry flavored piper and haven't had it for a year or so now. I remember it not biting, smoking smoothly, but just not for me.

this is a tobacco that require extra awareness in regards to smoking it slowly to enjoy better taste and save your tongue from the eternal fire pit that it might fall into. the cheery sweetness is defiantly there and it overcome the tobacco throughout most of the bowl. the room note is perfect. social tobacco it is but first you have to be a lover of sweet tobacco and a slow puffer only in that case i can recommend it.

First off, I'm not the biggest fan of fruit flavoured tobaccos. This tobacco was just Meh. Not great, not bad. It's actually been a while since I've smoked this, so maybe I will give it a whirl again, but there's really nothing that's drawing me back other than curiosity to see if my tastes have changed.

My tobacconist told me this was the best cherry out there (and he has a great selection). I was thoroughly disappointed. This is the first Mac Baren product I have tried, and found it to have no flavor, and only a bit of aroma. I think the worst part is that it is in a 100g tin which will take me some time to get through. I blended it with some cavendish which made it a bit more palatable for me. The tobacco was dry enough, stayed lit and burned well. I found it dry on the tongue. Friends and wife says it smells great, but it don't notice anything special about the aroma.

I gave this blend a go a while back. It's a very tastey blend that goes great with a glass of Red Stag, especially on a warm summer evening. The only thing I would mention bad about it is the "ready rub" Burley in it should be rubbed out further. At first I just left the ready rub as was and when I smoked down to it the cherry and rum flavour faded rather quickly. After rubbing the Burley out a little myself the second time it retained the flavour much more consistantly. Other than that though this was a good cherry blend by MacB. No tongue bite at all and the flavour was quite good. I'd recommend this if you're hunting for a cherry blend.

The tin note I get from this is very nice. You can smell the cherry straight away mixing in nicely with the different tobaccos. Upon lighting, there was a little flavour of cherry but this didn't carry through to the smoke very well in my opinion. I could taste some notes from the burley and virginia but nothing to pronounced. I don't think burley was a good choice to add to this blend as it over-powered some of the more subtle flavours. There was a point about a quarter of a way down the bowl where I really did enjoy it, but about half way down the bowl the dreaded mac bite started to kick in, after that I slowley lost interest. All in all, I think I can see why some avid aromatic smokers would like this, but it left me feeling somewhat indifferent.

This was my first foray into cherry blends; I avoided them for some time in the past. In the future I will continue to do so. The mild alcohol notes were only present for the first bowl; angel's share, perhaps?

I purchased this tobacco on a hunch, This tobacco has gotten several bad reviews. I just wanted to try for myself. The first taste that I got was the taste of a light cigar. After it burned half way down, I then tasted light sweetness. Then to the bottom the cigar flavor again. I did not get the taste of the cherry, like most people didn't. My wife said the room note was fruity, and is tolerable. I have smoked a lot of tobaccos, but this has a little high nicotine content, in my opinion. This could be a good tobacco for the evenings with a good coffee, something to wind down with after a long day.

It did have a hot burn for a bit, but no tongue bite, which was surprising.

I would recommend this tobacco for the experienced smoker, This is not for a novice smoker that is trying to find that special tobacco.

The tin aroma of this mixture of ribbon and broken flake is cherry, though not obtrusively so, along with a vaguely alcoholic scent.

This is combination of virginia cavendish (both bright and black) along with light burley cavendish. The mix tilts to the clean sweetness of the virginias, and further tilts to sweetness, in general. This is an exceptionally sweet blend. Thoughtfully conceived, the flavorings are well-integrated into the whole.

Exceptional for those who like sweet leaf, Cherry Ambrosia is a delightful blend in which the whole is greater than the parts. This will ghost a briar and went well in a chamber of any gauge.
