Cult Blood Red Moon

(3.15)
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.

Let me begin by saying the idea of cherry flavoring horrifies me, as the flavor takes me back to when I was a kid and my mom mixed my medicine with Kool-Aid to cover the taste. The result was a distaste of all fruit flavored candy as an adult. Since cherry is a common pipe aromatic, I figured I better try at it at least once.

Upon opening the tin, I could actually see the flavor vapors rising up. The cherry sledge hammer was so strong, I just assumed I bit into a nasty fruit filled chocolate from a candy box. It is no stretch of the truth when I tell you this was the strongest topping I have yet encountered on an aromatic.

The cut is very thin, moist, and spongy. It burns quickly and lights up worry free. As expected the cherry flavor lasts the whole way through, though an added caramel sweetness develops to dial back the fruit flavor when smoked. It is strong, but not artificial candy strong. While still not my thing, I was a bit surprised I didn't hate it. Unlike the flavor, the nicotine is very light. Also, it has an amazing room note I'm told.

** Use a non-sentimental pipe with this stuff, as it will surely ghost the pipe.

This has a strong cherry taste with a note of cocoa to it as promised. If you have been looking for PS-308 in a tin look no further, here it is with a gimmicky label!

This was a very aromatic blend, the cherry was kind of "candyish", and it seemed to burn pretty good. The taste was somewhat mild, and the room note was outstanding. This is something that I would probably purchase again, but not something I would want to smoke daily.

This summer I went on a cherry exploration. I love cherry and thought I'd try and find something in that genre that was a pleasant smoke and agreeable to the palate. I worked my way through about a dozen offerings and was gravely disappointed with exception of two - this blend being one of them. It offers a great balance with the cherry note and it doesn't come across all artificial like so many cherry aros. It is thoroughly enjoyable beginning to end with a nice mixture and balance among the tobaccos. It doesn't let you forget your smoking tobacco at the expense of the flavoring. It also has a more natural nuance to a soft and smooth cherry note. A thoroughly enjoyable aromatic!

This is how you can make your own BRM. Get some straight Burley, spray it with Febreze, soak it in Robitussen or your favorite cherry medicine, sprinkle some cocoa powder and cherry candle wax and there you have it. This thing is so strong and overwhelming I don't understand how it got these great reviews that made me purchase it. I even mixed it with some strait burley and Virginia to make it taste less tense but it tastes the same even if you put a pinch in a straight tobacco. I had 2 bowls and gave the rest away, definitely not for me.

Cherry, that's it. Just a mouthful of black cavendish and cherry. If you got Covid-19 and can't taste or smell anything, you will have no problem tasting this tobacco.

This was a gift of a friend. I had several bouts with cherry tobacco almost 40 years ago and my tongue came out on the worst end of it all. But, I have heard a lot about this and I was thrilled he gifted me with some!!!

Opening the humidor I was greeted by the smell of delicious cherry cordial and chocolate. Sort of reminded me of chocolate covered cherries. The tobacco was slightly moist so it was placed on a paper towel for a little over a half hour. The coarse cut loaded easily into the bowl and after the char light it lit right up splendidly. It burned at a medium rate and would get slightly warmed if pushed but it never came close to biting. The smoke was medium, creamy and hung in the air and what a mouth watering room not of cherry cordial it gave off. The aftertaste is of sweet chocolate covered cherry during the smoke and after the smoke is finished this aftertaste lasted for about 45 minutes. This burned down to a dark gray ash, left no goop but did leave some moisture. The stayed mostly consistent except at the very beginning and for the last 1/4 of the bowl when it weakened a little bit but remained pleasant.

Lighting the bowl the brought forth a wonderful cherry flavor that was mouth watering. It stayed that way for about 10 sips and then in came a light creamy chocolate. The Cherry played the lead role with the light chocolate singing in the second role and they balanced and complimented each other wonderfully. In the background danced a very slight nutty flavor with a touch of grass and a perfect very slight tangy flavor each complimenting each other and harmonizing well with the Cherry and Chocolate. The Chocolate picked it up a notch from a 1/4 way into the bowl till around the last 1/4 of the bowl where it and the other flavors except the Cherry faded slightly although they remained delicious till the end of the bowl

This is a wonderful blend that has the Cherry dominating with a strong backup by the lite Chocolate and still has room enough for the tobacco flavors to shine lightly through. Sweet and pleasant this is a great advancement over the old cherry tobacco of 40 years ago which burned the skin off the tongue. Delicious and pleasant I would definitely buy some and use it on special occasions. If you like Aromatics, Cherry, Chocolate with a creamy smoke give this a try. A true beauty of a smoke I give it a 3.6 our of 4 stars.

God this was awful. I haven't figured out what I like yet, but I know what I don't like. This. A few puffs in and my mouth felt like it was coated in burlap soaked in chemicals. The taste is fine if you like drinking peroxide after a few cherries have soaked in it overnight. Maybe the worst thing I ever smoked, Well, I take that back. Definitely the worst thing I ever smoked.

There's good cherry blends and bad cherry blends ........ this is a good one for sure ! The flavoring isn't overdone and the blend lights easily , burns well , tastes good and the Room Note is great . It's has a smooth quality to it and it's basically a blend that has some thought behind it . It is medium flavored and not a high aromatic but not a mildly flavored aromatic . If you've been leery of trying a cherry because you got waylaid by some awful overly flavored horrid cherry blend , have no fear ... this isn't that blend . Another good cherry blend to try , which is even a little less flavored is MacBaren 7 Seas Red , which is exceptional

I have had a tin of this stuff sitting in my cellar for some time now. I decided to open it up and give it go. Man I was blown away! This is a really good aro. It actually tastes as described on the tin and the flavor lasts through the entire bowl. Flavor wise it’s cherry, but it’s not overwhelming or cough syrupy. There is also a nice chocolate flavor that accompanies the cherry, making it taste similar to chocolate covered cherry candy. It’s definitely a sweet smoke but not in an overwhelming way. It’s a very smooth smoke with no bite at all. It does leave a little goop in the bottom of the bowl but not as bad as some other blends that I have tried. This one is definitely worth trying.
