Peter Stokkebye Cherry (No.3)

Not great, just good. Not my favorite cherry blend. I just did not think it had enough cherry flavor. The tobacco was very wet. It does have tobacco flavor, which is quite good. And the cherry is not a chemical taste.

This is a pretty straightforward cavendish aromatic. It is a fairly fine ribbon cut with the occastional bit of flake which is dry in the pouch. It think it's mainly VA with a bit of burley as it is very mild. It packs and burns very well and can get a little hot. The aroma is very nice. The cherry flavoring isn't too heavy and allows some tobacco flavoring to come through. It gets a bit wet at mid-bowl, but not too bad for an aromatic. The cherry flavor isn't prominent at first, but gets a little more intense towards mid-bowl, then it becomes mainly the tast of the mild tobacco. A nice blend for a beginning smoker or when you want something to puff on which doesn't require much attention. I received this as a free sample and might buy a small amount if I see it around.

Update: Still a great cavendish with quality va tobacco shining through the flavoring. Like all cavendishes, it's a bit too mild in flavor and I sometimes end up puffing it too vigorously which leads to heat which leads to bite. If you like cavendish, though, I can't imagine any better than this. Far, far better than the cherry offerings from ALTADIS.

Tin note: maraschino cherry, not much else. Slightly bitter cherry in the smoke, not sweet to speak of. Maybe hints of almond. Turns coke into cherry coke, which is kind of nice, but I would not smoke this without some sort of synergistic drink. Better cherries out there.

Middle of the road cherry aromatic. It’s not awful, but it’s nothing to write home about. I’m not gonna complain if I have to smoke it, but it’s definitely not my go to. It’s kind of an artificial cheery aroma, but there’s a creaminess that comes through from the Virginia. No cherry taste whatsoever, but the room note lingers a bit. Hasn’t bit me yet, but I wouldn’t put it past it. It’s not the cheapest tasting cherry you can get, but it’s not premium.

I picked up an ounce of this today along with the McClelland #27 and smoked two bowls, one in the car and one after the bowl of #27 and was pleasantly surprised at the mildness of the cherry topping and tobacco (thank heavens as cherry blends can incinerate ones tongue). Typical high quality Dutch Cavendish in a chunky ribbon with some flake like bits. The blend reminded me of a shredded grocery store paper bag, light shade of brown with no Black Cavendish. My B&M kept this at a perfect moisture content so it lit and burned without relights and kept the bite at a minimum. Not my favorite cherry blend but can certainly be smoked as a change of pace without too much buyers remorse IMHO.... Two stars.

This blend is simply to light for me. Other than at the light, not much cherry flavor. There was no bad taste anywhere here (thus two starts; not one), so if you like very light blends, you may enjoy this. My palate just isn't sensitive enough. I envy those that can enjoy this, as many more aromatics are available to you.

This is quite enjoyable for a cherry tobacco, although it can produce a hot smoke if care is not taken to go slow. I remedy this by mixing it with a good percentage of Peter Stokkebye Navy Flake. The result is quite enjoyable.

A nice boutique style cherry. I didnt like the flavor much and It came across as unnatural. I would recommend it over any drug store versions of 'cherry'
