Cherry Cavendish Alternatives?

mazzeh · Feb 14, 2017

G'day All,
Hope everyone is well.
To say thanks to a mate of mine for helping out with my empty packaging collection, I usually get him a pouch or two when we meet up. Last year, I gave him some older pouches I had that were un-opened (and seal wasn't broken)... and I thought it would still be good to smoke. Apparently not!
This year, I want to make sure I get some fresh stuff for him.
He normally smokes Borkum Riff Cherry Cavendish out of a pouch (I guess because it can easily fit in his pocket), and I'm wondering if there are any other pouch tobaccos that might be somewhat similar, but different enough to warrant trying them?
Hoping for a few recommendations so I don't go in empty handed, or wrong-handed! Appreciate your advice.
Thanks guys!

Mazzeh

Borkum Riff Cherry... ack... cavendish?

Sorry, ugg, that's embarrassing when I do that.

If he likes Borkum Riff then he may like Paladin Black Cherry. Lane's TK-6 is a decent cherry blend from what I hear and can be ordered in bulk.

Dutch Masters Cherry Cavendish if it's still in pouches. Sutliff Black Cherry would do if you decide to get a bulk cherry blend.

Sutliff Black Cherry is a great suggestion. Someone makes a Cherry Cordial that a buddy of mine really likes. Jim, is that a Sutliff product also?

mazzeh · Feb 14, 2017

@Cosmic: The smell of it is a little bit like that, I reckon. Can't blame you. :D
@papipeguy & @JimInks: Thank you for the suggestions! I'll look into them.

After having a look at the suggestions, I don't think that bulk tobacco would go well with our customs. If it's over 50g, the fees get insane really quickly.
It looks like Dutch Masters Cherry Cavendish is out of stock. Paladin Black Cherry is still there.
I found Captain Black Cherry... how does it compare, if anyone's tried it? (Maybe I'm suggesting heresy here, maybe it's the spawn of the devil?).

Cosmic: Yes, Sutliff makes Black Cordial and I recommend that one, too.
Mazzeh: I've tried CB Cherry, and it burns too warm and the cherry has an artificial taste to it.

Cosmic pretty much summed it up for me. If you must go the cherry route, my best advice is some Lane Dark Red or Cult BRM. Dump that pouch empty and refill it with one of those.

Boswell Pipes has some good ones in bulk, but their a bit pricey. My favorite is Pennsylvania Dutch Treat.

Hard to gauge other peoples' tastes, but Palatin has been around forever and cherry is their major flavoring, so it might sit well with someone who prefers cherry.

I would recommend a 50g tin of Cult Blood Red Moon and he can fill an empty borkum riff pouch with it or get a leather tobacco pouch.

agnosticpipe · Feb 14, 2017

+1 on the Cult Blood Red Moon. Although I tend to like Gawith Hoggarth's Top Black Cherry. It's a little more subtle with more tobacco taste. Whatever you end up with I'm sure he'll be happy with it if he likes cherry tobacco.

Newminster No.3 - Very Cherry

is the only one I can take (ignoring Caminetto Barolo which I can no longer find).

+1 on the Cult Blood Red Moon.

Captain Black Red Sky is the only one I've bought repeatedly but Cult Blood Red Moon was very good and I would buy it again.

I would grind some Vick's Cherry Cough Drops, them them dry and then gravity fill my bowl.
Think Cube Cut.

I would grind some Vick's Cherry Cough Drops, them them dry and then gravity fill my bowl.

That might be better than most of the Cherry blends I've tried :rofl:

mazzeh · Feb 15, 2017

Wow, thanks for all the recommendations guys! Especially the cherry cough drops, haha. :nana:
I think all these will give me a good starting point to try and get my bud something nice. Cheers!
