The spectacular flavor and aroma of European cherry lend an air of sophistication to this blend’s agreeably sweet aftertaste. An additional casing sauce is used to under-score the mellow mildness of our world-renowned Black Cavendish. A medium loose cut.
Blend Type: Aromatic

Contents: Black Cavendish

Flavoring: Cherry, Cocoa / Chocolate

Cut: Ribbon
Strength: Very Mild, Medium, Medium to Strong

Flavoring: Mild

Taste: Medium to Full, Full

Room Note: Very Pleasant
I am not usually a aromatic smoker, but when I was looking at the info on this blend and when I saw medium to full taste and a very pleasant room note I just had to try it. you can smell it right through the bag and it smells amazing (just to show you how amazing it smells) when I opened the bag the great aroma of the black cavendish and cherry fill my nose with the subtle hint of the coca, and chocolate are their. The tobacco is a dark black and a little to moist ( i smokes a bowl right out of the bag and some I let dry out a little).

Right out of the bag: When I packing the tobacco into my pipe it made my finger a little sticky. Lighting it when it was moist was not to bad it did light and didn't go out, but it didn't burn to evenly and I did have to move it to even it out a few times. their was a nice white ash in my bowl. I would say this is a ore mild strength strength with no tong bite at all, and a really great smell of cherry with the hints of coco sneaking in, butt not like a cough syrup cherry, but their was a lack of flavor in the tobacco and I thought it was because of the moisture so I let some dry to hopefully get some taste out of the blend
after letting the tobacco dry for 10-15 minutes: After my first attempt I packed another bowl ( some time later) this time my finger didn't get sticky. It light nice and easy, stayed lit, and burned even it still had a nice whit ash and a good whit ash in it. the smoke was still nice and white, and the same great white smoke from my pipe. the strength was a bit stronger but pleasant, still no tong bite. The tobacco started out with a hint of cherry, but as I got halfway through the bowl the cherry got stronger tasting and you could get the hints of the coco taste in it also.
Over all I really did enjoy this blend and will keep smoking and will be ordering more.
