Best of the berries?

[telemitry]

So I enjoy a cherry or berry aromatic every once in awhile . Cult BRM is my go to fav and one I seem to come back to.

I tried Sutliff Raspberry cream tonight… not bad… but wouldn’t say better than the Cult. I tried McClintock black cherry as well as CAO cherry bomb and didn’t like either.

Any other’s worth exploring or stick to Cult?

I do love my aromatics, but I mostly stick within the vanilla/honey/brown sugar realm. But once in a great while, like you, I do reach for the cherry. I've tried a handful over the past few years, and most of them have come up short in one way or another. BRM is the clear winner thus far, with Lane TK-6 (its bulk doppelganger, apparently) a close second. All the rest are either tasting of artificial chemicals, or so heavy on the PG that I would need a flamethrower and six months of dry time in the Atacama desert to make it doable.

If you're going to explore cherry aromatics, or any new genre for that matter, it's best to start with the smallest sample size you can get, usually 1 oz. It's too disappointing to roll the dice with larger amounts, I find.

Valuable advice thank you !

The Hobbit’s Weed (Tewksbury) match from 4noggins is also good. I smoke CBRM or this.

Sutliff black cordial is my current go to cherry.

I can't get enough of Ken Byron Sakura lately. Like buttered toast with a hint of silky fruit.

KBV Fallen Cherry is another good one. Much sweeter/aromatic than Sakura.

My go to cherry blend is Boswell’s Sweet and Mild. It is, well, sweet and mild Country Squire’s Parson’s Blend is also a good berry-fruity-type blend.

If its berries you want then try Samuel Gawith Firedance Flake or Plug. I get the plug and its very rich and sweet, nice after dinner smoke.

So I’m literally gonna order every one of these tonight and try for myself , but was curious to just get the TR ratings prior just to see. Obviously the ratings kinda get skewed because of such varying amounts of reviewers, but I will say you all seemed to pick some damn strong picks . I’ll report back as I go through these .

Ok quick update I have everything above ordered to try aside from the KBV Sakura and Fallen Cherry… both are sold out :/. I ordered the KBV Dark Fired Cherry to at least try an offering from this blender .

 

[DesertDan]

Country Squire - Blue Ribbon (blackberry), I really like this blend!
Cult - Blood Red Moon (chocolate cherry)
Ole Shenandoah - Drunken Cherry (sweet cherry)

I have several other cherry blends in my collection that I have yet to try.

Devil’s Holiday is my favorite (berry and aro) up to this point in time. Not a goopy cavendish aro, tastes like tobacco and berry equally-great stuff.

For typical Aro’s I don’t think you can go wrong with Lane Ltd’s Black Raspberry.
YMMV
