Cult Red Blood Moon
Blend notes: “This dark, decadent blend combines fire-cured cavendish, bright Virginias and burleys with the delicious aromas of natural Royal Ann cherry and dark chocolate. A bit sweet, extremely rich, and unquestionably smooth.”
Cult Red Bllod Moon is a serious achievement in the creation of an excellent aromatic blend — IF your palate warms to cherry and chocolate mixed expertly together. Smell the tin — smoke the tobacco — it’s pretty much the same. If you have ever put a ‘cherry chocolate cordial’ into your mouth, this is that, and honestly, its good chocolate and good cherry too.
The taste is almost syrupy. The base tobaccos carry the flavors very well. Even if this blend ages it will still have that cherry and chocolate for a long time. Or so I assume since there is so much there, if half of it evaporates you are still left with more than enough.
I don’t care for CBLD at all. At one point I ordered Cult, the Sutliff Cherry, and the Lane Cherry, and did a sort of test. Of the three, my prefernce would be the Sutliff because I get the cherry without losing the fact that it’s tobacco. That said, I am not a fan of cherry flavored tobacco.
The strength of the blend is perhaps confusing — one will not really taste the base tobaccos, so if by strength we mean, the tobacco, then that can be hard to judge. If it comes to taste, what most people will taste is cherry-chocolate in every puff. The room note is heavenly if thse around (and you) like the smell of cherry and chocolate. You may sense the theme here.
My strong advice is if you love cherry flavored blends, then dedicate one or two pipes to the cherry team.
Cullt Blend Red Moon is easily a 4 stars out of 4 blend.

Maybe it's because it's close to Christmastime, but I've been in the mood for a nice cherry tobacco to puff on as I sit out on my frigid patio. Something fruity, juicy, warm. A tobacco with a flavor akin to a hearty slice of something baked with lots of dried cherries, or perhaps even the tang of a fruit-flavored spiced wine.
Blood Red Moon, sadly, was not what I was looking for. I'm surprised at how many other reviewers praised it for not tasting artificial, because the predominant note of its flavoring is exactly that: artificial cherry. I don't get cherry-the-fruit from this so much as I get cherry-flavored-Push-Pop.
It's candy, pure and simple. Overly sweet and syrupy with a bright, red taste. If children smoked pipes, I would imagine that this tobacco would be a big hit with them. But alas, I am no longer a child, and so my search for a tasty cherry blend continues.

3 bowl min before review is my rule...
Good but not great for me. Out of the tin the smell was intoxicating. All the exceptions lived up to it. Deep notes of chocolate covered cherries and a bit of sweetness. When smoking I got the dark chocolate and cherry notes for sure, just not as pronounced for others. I think the tobacco smokes really well. Little to no relights after the char. Enjoyed it a little more when I paired it with a Dr. Cherry Pepper or Dark Roast Coffee with some French Vanilla Cream.
I would purchase again. And I am going to add some Capt. Black Cherry to the mix to enhance the cherry to the dark chocolate smokiness. The room note is neutral. Noting that I would hype and nothing that would be offensive. Smoke is white and heavy at times. Sipping is able to do well but will heat up if you are not taking your time.

My low expectations of this wildly popular blend were immediately proven wrong after a couple puffs of this wonderful tobacco. This is a luxurious aromatic with notes of maraschino cherries and a dash of chocolate. The flavour of the black cavendish still shines through. The leaf burns clean and leaves a sweet fruity roomnote. Aromatic lovers will adore this blend.
4/4- Lives up to the hype

I wanted to like this blend, I really did. One of the most beloved aromatics, it does smell good enough to eat. First bowl was very wet, decided to let it dry.
Sat for an hour spread over paper, still unbearably wet. Sat for 4 hours. Dry to the touch but produces so much oil in the pipe and in the smoke I found myself spitting after every few draws. Flavor is fine in the pipe but not phenomenal. Don't understand the love.

20230313: Taking a star after realizing aromatics generally aren't my thing. I need some appreciable nicotine level out of a tobacco, this doesn't have it.
Very strongly of cherry in the scent and taste. Fairly moist, not especially sticky, lights and burns well. A ways in I do start to taste chocolate, but mostly cherry. Virtually no nicotine. One of the better cherries out there. Giving it a 4 for what it is; if you want to smoke cherry-flavored tobacco, I don't know that you could do much better than this.

I like my aromatics-for example "Autumn Evening" is a wonder to smoke. Blood Red Moon is not one of those aromatics.
Tin aroma is a very strong synthetic cherry like a children's cough syrup or fever reducer. When lit , it doesn't disappoint as that is the predominant flavor. As mentioned below it may work in small quantities mixed with a light Virginia to cut the potency of the cherry topping. Burned well, with a fair amount of residue. Smoke was dense. Room note was a cloying and very persistent synthetic cherry syrup as was the scent in the spent pipe. I'd worry about ghosting in a new briar with this, it's that strong. Gave the tin away .

I gave in to the hype that everyone else did. Grabbed a tin for cheap on cbid like most new things that I try.
It's intense. It actually tastes like cherries. That's all you really need to know going into this. It tastes the way it smells and it smells great. How often can you say that?
Just try it.

This is one for the aromatic fans. Very little to no actual tobacco detectable. The cherry comes through strong for me but not much else. It's a very mild smoke. I would recommend for anyone who is looking for a topping forward tobacco mild smoke. I enjoy it and will definitely have it in rotation although not as much as some other types of aromatics.

In the tin: strong smell of dark chocolate cherry cordials and maybe a hint a rum. Soft, velvety texture to the ribbons. Very moist.
Loading and first light: requires significant dry time but packs easily enough. careful not to pack too tight as it does not like to be packed overly tight. lights with some resistance but nothing exceptional.
all three thirds were essentially the same so I will review them the same: nice virginia cavendish with the cherry topping actually coming through in the flavor. The room note is one of my favorites. Wont come off as offensive to even the most discerning of peers. I am skeptical of all cherry aromatics but this is truly one to add to your rotation if you like cherry cordials. Burns well with no bite and only gets harsh if pushed.
