I picked up a 1oz bulk package of TK-6 in my last TAD order. The initial bowl or two were underwhelming. I am pretty sure I was smoking it too wet. In the meantime I discovered the magic of Latakia and Perique with some English blends: My Mixture 965 and Nightcap are amazing! These are go-to tobaccos for me.
After coming back to TK-6 a couple weeks later and drying it out quite a bit, I am pleasantly surprised with the improvement. Nicely sweet taste with just a hint of cherry. I am getting a good tobacco flavor as well. I have been retrohaling quite a bit lately, maybe that's brought the flavor out?
In memory of Grandpa S any other cherry blend recommendations would be much appreciated,
Don

I do enjoy TK-6. Jut received another two ounces of it.
I also like Mac Baren's 7 Seas Red Blend and Lane Limited's Very Cherry. I've heard Tewkesberry (sp?) Hobbit's Weed is a good cherry aro as well.
I will agree it's hard to find a good cherry blend. Definitely a diamond in the rough type blend.
