Funny how a tobacco can change so much given the right airing time. This is in my top 3 tobaccos of all time.

I first bought a sample of this stuff and when I lit it up it was like a soggy cherry soup. I nearly threw the whole lot out, but instead, put it back in the box in its wrapper and forgot about it. A number of weeks later I saw it and opened up the wrapper to look at it. It had dried out significantly and seeing as my tobacco stock was low I stuffed it into my pipe and lit up.

This tobacco really does need a thorough drying out, stopped just before it gets crispy. It dries very well, probably due to its inherent sweetness. It smokes smoothly as silk, it is mild mannered and the beautiful cherry flavour does not burn off the second you light it. There are slight undertones of marzipan in the mix and it's just a tasty smoke you can really just relax with.

If I could only smoke three tobaccos from this day forward, this one would be in them.

Please give it a try and let me know what you think. Just make sure it is dry!
Pipe Used: every pipe in my stash. Works well in small pipes.

This is highly recommmended blend for lovers of cherry aromatics.
The pre-light aroma of this cherry aromatic tobacco blend is a delightful symphony of cherry sweetness, interwoven with a pungent Cavendish undertone. While a too moist initially, a brief airing period of just an hour and a half significantly enhances the smoking experience, for the first pipe. Over the next weeks, it requires less and less drying time. The generous course cut, featuring jet black Cavendish, promises a visually appealing and flavorful journey.
Upon ignition, the blend lights effortlessly, offering a consistent and brilliant burn. The thick, cool smoke surprises with its great background cherry note, in accord with expectations set by the initial scent. Retrohalling is a breeze, with a smooth descent that avoids any discomfort.

In all, this blend presents a nutty-sweet burley, dark Virginia and sugary black cavendish, subdued by a dominant black cherry topping. It sits at a mild to medium strength, burning clean with some relights. The aftertaste is sweet, and the room note lovely. Despite initial dampness, it offers a consistent and enjoyable experience with a bit of patience.
