Century Black Cherry

The Virginia is a little grassy with a touch of citrus. The toasty bright cavendish doesn't add much flavor, but there is some vanilla from the toasted black cavendish. The black cherry topping is sweet and very slightly tart, and doesn't weaken. Hardly has any nicotine. Burns at a reasonable pace, clean and cool with a smooth, consistent flavor. Leaves a little moisture, but no goop or dottle. No bite, nice after taste and room note. An all day smoke.

Century Black Cherry.

The appearance of Century Black Cherry is quite sporadic, containing a few different shapes and sizes. This pouch was a little too moist upon opening, so needed a decent air. The aroma from the blend smells very aromatic and suggests a strong topping.

Mechanically, as long as it's been allowed to dry, this does well: burning evenly to a pale ash. The topping masks a lot of the tobaccos', barring the vanilla-like black Cav', but this goes hand in hand with the added vanilla. I'm not sure whether or not this has any Burley in it, as the description says "yes" but my palate says "no"! The cherry is the star of the show, but doesn't taste too natural: there's a falseness to it which is reminiscent of boiled sweets! For me this is a right biter; even gentle sips struggle to abate the tongue bite!

The room-note's strong with cherries, and the nicotine's very mild.

This is alright, but too mundane for any more than two stars:

Somewhat recommended.
