Cult: BLOOD RED MOON 50g

Very good!!

Best cherry pipe tobacco by a mile . Very smooth no bite, and FLAVOR is unmatched

If you smoke aromatic tobacco often, and like cherry flavor, you will probably enjoy this. I could not detect any natural tobacco flavor at all, just artificial cherry. This was just too heavily topped for me, but I lean very much towards blends with little to no toppings. For the aro lover, this may be a winner.

This blend is, as advertised, unquestionably smooth. Sweet, but not sickly, unlike the 'Autumn evening', a long smoke from a deep bowl won't make you green in the face. However, it does feel rather heavy. The room note is definitely quite nostalgic, like being held tenderly in the arms of your favorite grandfather as a child. To enjoy in family gatherings or while reading philosophy.

I've always found that most aromatics are a huge let down. They never deliver on taste what is promised in the tin note or the blurb that the blenders put on the tin.
"Allow yourself to free-fall into a lake of creamy, sweet explosion of desert flavours"
The reality?
It vaguely tastes of vanilla before the smoke and steam come to scald and sear your tongue.
"Smoke it slower and it will reward you!"
I want to take more than one puff every two days thanks.

Finally, an aromatic that delivers. It actually tastes of cherry with some chocolate notes that pop up eventually (yes, it's better to smoke it slower regardless of my moaning).
Apart from Lakelands, I have a small handful of aromatics that I'll smoke and this is at the top of my list. Put this together with some Bob's Chocolate Flake and a pinch of Latakia and it's just lovely.
