It's funny you post this because I just picked up captain black cherry and it wasn't very good at all. This is the first cherry tobacco I have tried so maybe cherry just isn't for me. I have tried a raspberry flavored tobacco that was really good but cherry was just too sweet for me. Just my thoughts!
I'm typically very fond of cherry flavorings as a whole (in beverages, candy, etc...). The one cherry tobacco that I ran into was purchased OTC at walgreens by my smokin' buddy, it came in a big clear bag and smelled so strongly that I couldn't bring myself to smoke it. The stuff was wet and oily and even looked somewhat sickly in terms of tobacco. Kinda steered me away from other cherries. Although I have heard nothing but good things about 7 seas. I may have to put it on my list for future TAD buys.
Boswell's makes a few cherry blends; all their blends are very very good
Top black cherry is also very good for "real" cherry flavor, but I like to mix
this one 50/50 with some mild burley, IMO a great mix

For a good Childish OTC and lots of flavor...
I can recommend (and do recommend) Paladin Black Cherry.

Definitely second, or rather third, 7 Seas Red Blend. As mentioned before it's more of a wild cherry flavour, so it's a bit on the tart side and nowhere near the regular sweet marachino flavour most blends tend to use. Also I'd suggest trying Mac Baren's Cherry Ambrosia, but also I give a warning to rub out the "broken flake" before filling the bowl, as doing this will help to keep the flavour more consistant. Good luck in your search to find a cherry blend you enjoy.
I love cherry soda, but cherry flavored tobacco just doesn't cut it for me. Tried em all. Yucky. JMHO
I second this. When the mood strikes me for a cherry tobacco I want to taste cherry not just tobacco with a feint whisp of cherry in the background.
The only other cherry blend I've had that I like is a local blend from Tweksbury & Company called "Hobbit's Weed" that can also be ordered online.
I have both of those boswell tobaccos and I think i might try mixing what i have left which is about half an ounce each.I will also reccomend Hobbits Weed from Tewksbury&Company I am really enjoying it right now although I do not think it is labeled as a cherry tobacco it is definately in there and it is a great aromatic has a awesome room note.I am going to look for som 7 seas right now I have never tried that one.I will also add that I have liked every tobacco I have received so far from boswells they are awesome blenders I didn't realise I could order the tobacco extra sweet though I am trying it out on my next order from them.
