Wilke Pipe Tobacco: Vermont Maple Cavendish, Rumcake, #191, Cherry Cavendish, Peanut Butter, and anything else that sounds good to you.
Received a Missouri Meerschaum, Huck Finn, after smoking the MM Mini's. It seems that all new cobs will impart a flavor for two or three bowls. I'm breaking it in with Lanes Very Cherry, and D&R Three Sails, as I'd like to use this one for aromatics. I'd like to find a good Cavendish to mix with the Very Cherry to give it a more coffee / chocolate profile, any suggestions?
There's always Blood Red Moon for a cherry/chocolate mix. Even though it's not listed as "coffee", I've always found Peterson's De Luxe Mixture to have an incredible coffee liqueur aroma to it. Almost Baileys/White Russian'esque.
I've just received a MM Huck Finn, and an oz. of Lanes Very Cherry. I've been conditioning the pipe with D&R Three Sails on the bottom, and a pinch of cherry on top, as the Very Cherry is pretty loud. Blood Red Moon has been on my list, looking at a straight Cavendish to add to the blend. I still use my MM Mini (well conditioned, trimmed cake) for my morning "cigarette" with Three Sails. It's much more enjoyable than a cigarette.
Aside from Blood Red Moon, Wilke Cherry is one of the best cherry blends out there, imo.
For my third place cherry option, I also enjoy Sutliff Z50 Black Cordial – though it's a bit wet/goopy for my taste.

I'm not into cherry blends but I keep some around for guests. I know of Very Cherry but Lane also has TK-6 which is like a more mature and retrained of take on it that I tend to prefer.
Try putting the pinch of cherry on the bottom, about one quarter of a bowl, with Three Sails on top. You will get a nice, less intense, cherry flavor and aroma throughout the entire bowl.
Yep! That worked. I'm looking at Peter Stokkebye 201 Black Cavendish to give it the "Bakery" aroma. I got nothing but good to say about the Missouri Meerschaum Huck Finn.
