Cult Blood Red Moon

Robitussin cough syrup and urinal cake. Haven't actually tasted urinal cake, but if you've ever made a 2:00 a.m. trip to a public restroom and had that smell linger in your nose for 45 minutes after leaving... well that's what I mean. The first half of the pipe contains the cough syrup/urinal cake flavor, the second half is cheap tobacco. A lot of Lakeland tobaccos and European aromatics manage to retain their flavor to the bottom of the bowl. The pipe bowl, that is... since this is the Internet, I figured I would put my completely unasked-for opinion in here...

I started off as an aromatics guy. I lost my passion as I found most aromatics are all smell and no taste, or at least no differentiated taste, the all tasted the same. Well let me tell you, this Blood Red Moon is different. This stuff out of the can has a massive cherry/chocolate cordial aroma out of the tin...maybe a shot of rubbing alcohol to boot. Very strong stuff. The taste is no joke. This stuff filled my mouth with a Robatussin like flavor which took me back to days home from elementary school with the flu. The medicinal cherry taste was overpowering. Smoked well with few re-lights and surprisingly didn't leave a gloopy mess in my bowl. It also left my office smelling great, the room note was appreciated by many. This is too overpowering for me. The worst part of it is I had to toss my pipe after smoking this stuff (thankfully a MM Cob). I smoked 3 more bowls of other aromatics in the pipe and all I tasted was cherry medicine with other, normally enjoyable tobacco's. If you like strong aromatics, this is for you. For me it made me realize that I am an English, Balkan smoker and aromatics are a roll of the dice.

Unlike a lot of folks, I find this blend to be full of medicinal cherry flavor. The tin note is fairly pleasing and if you’re into aromatics will likely excite you. The extra chocolatey notes set it apart from most other cherry blends. Try as I might, it is another overly topped miss for me.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.
