Battle Royal

I enjoy smoking this tobacco. This is one of my run around town tobacco's.

Great smoke. A very good blend with a wonderful room note and taste. There's a hint of something, I can't pinpoint it. But a very good tobacco blend. Will be added to my normal rotation.

Smooth blend with a great aroma.

Love the aroma and moisture level. I would recommend.

I am a new pipe smoker & this was pleasant but it was with my first pipe and without more experience I am not qualified to actually rate this. The only other I have tried was Blood red moon that I enjoyed also. Sorry for my lack of experience.

Tart, slightly sweet. My favorite cherry blend! Has a "cherry cookie" taste to my pallette. Sip it slowly, as it can bite if you're not careful (which I find depends on the initial moisture level in the pouch). Since Borkum Riff Cherry Cavendish is my favorite cherry blend, I do smoke this one with a filter - as I have a tendency to get carried away. I've tried virtually all of the higher priced "premium" cherry blends (Cult Blood Red Moon, CAO Cherry Bomb, etc) but when I'm in the mood for cherry, I opt for Borkum Riff Cherry Cavendish. I do wish Borkum Riff Cherry Cavendish was available in a 10 or 12 oz. can, as buying the 1.5 oz. pouches gets expensive. It's a shame this blend receives such negative reviews.

Love the flavor, the aroma is pleasent.

Good flavor

Good flavor but not my everyday tobacco

I bought this Cherry Cavendish & 3 oz. of 1Q for my Dad for his 88th birthday it’s one of his favorites for as long as I can remember! He loved it & said that it’s the best present he could’ve ever received! I’m happy with my purchase from Pipes & Cigars! I always love the smell of fresh pipe tobacco & this was fresh tobacco! Thank you!!!

Great blend and flavors! These are my Favorite tobaccos

Love Captain Black!

Great taste!

Great is you like flavored tobacco. Smells amazing. Is a very sweet smoke

Very strong cherry aroma and flavor, too strong for my liking. I was more satisfied mixing it with a non flavored Cavendish

Great flavor and aroma. Will order more in the future.

My favorite pipe tobacco. If i could buy it in fifty pound bales I would

Good for a commercial blend

just beginning to smoke a pipe.its a solid smoke.pre-smoke aroma of cherry alot stronger than the taste, which is fine by me, as ive never been a flavored cigar smoker.burns well.smells excellent when smoked.

Enjoyable flavor

Cherry flavor not very noticeable, and smokes a little harsh. Mixed with some black cavendish and was a little better, but not much. I prefer Captain Black Cherry much more.

Woo! If you love cherry, you're gonna get a lot of it. To some, I'd imagine that would be a bad thing, but if it weren't for the fact this cherry flavor was so good and complimented the tobacco so well, I would've agreed. Everyone I shared with loved it and my wife enjoys the smell.

Still trying but all good so far

Good Smoke, Good Tin Note, Good Scent, light light hint of cherry in the flavor

Nice smell and taste. I mix with 2 other tobaccos. Makes for a pleasant, aromatic smoke.

Good stuff.

Good price for a middle of the road tobacco

Quite good! not going to replace my daily, but for certain a good now and again!

It's the best Cherry you can buy and it's nice to have a varity of flavors. Love the complements I receive form even non smokers.

Excellent

I've heard other pipe smokers say BR Cherry Cavendish doesn't hold a candle to Cult Blood Red Moon, but it's a nice smoke IMO.

Got my tobacco early. Tobacco tastes so smooth and rich. I love this tobacco. Will purchase again

Good flavor, no bite

If you like cherries and aromatics, this is the stuff. I like it when I am in the mood for a flavored cavendish tobacco, and it also mixes well with vanilla cavendish for cherry vanilla. People like the smell. It's what they think of when they think of pipe smell. We call it, "room note". The thing about these is you have to smoke them slowly or you'll get bitten, and since they can be hard to keep lit. Maybe dry it out a bit first, although I never do that and usually get by. These types of wet tobaccos do create liquid and gurgle, though. That's the downside if you don't dry them out.

A favorite clover , no bite, nice aroma

Good cherry flavor and mild.

Ok deep robust dark cherry. Bites a bit.

light smoke

He has a nice aroma coworkers like the smell of it it’s very mild I’ve been smoking it for years price is a little high

Excellent flavor and smell.

love the smell and taste

Thank you!

Smooth and mild. My favorite pipe tobacco

Best tobacco I've had so far.

Very nice

Good pipe tobacco

Nice cherry flavor and room note. I would normally choose lane very cherry, but purchased this because of a deal; was not disappointed. I will be buying more.

Smooth blend without a overwhelming cherry favour.

A nice mellow smoke that is easy to keep lite. YMMV

fresh cut, fast delivery, fair price, and Cherry - what's not to like?

Never a complaint with Captain Black Cherry

I love this cherry because it tastes like cherry and grape fruit salad.

Great taste

Love that tobacco

Thought it was a little on the harsh side.

Been trying different cherry tobaccos .. I have decided that I am not a fan of them :) This is decent tobacco and like I always say .. I can see where others would like it. Packs well, burns well, smokes fine. It's just not for me.

Didn't want to stay lit, but what can I say, might be user error lol

I was very pleased as a first time pipe smoker with Borkum Riff

Guys have been giving this tobacco a bad rap, I mean they are calling it the worse tobacco in the history of ever! I chalk it up to mass hysteria, you know; like passing all the canned food in a grocery store just to straight to the toilet paper. what I like about this tobacco: good cut for easy packing, well blended, terrific burn, no bite (just so long as you don’t suck on your pipe like Kim Kardashian) the flavor...it Is like smoking Queen Anne dark chocolate with a burly zing. what I don’t like about this tobacco: (crickets chirping) I hope this helps, Cheers boys

I am very picky when it comes to my Cherry tobacco. Borkum Riff however exceeds my expectations.

Enjoy the aroma smell is live on. Quite pleasing taste is wild not too strong. Can be utilize in any environment

This is a great cherry option to add to a collection/rotation. My grandpa smoked this blend 35 years ago and the room note and scent that I can pick up on really take me back. Others enjoy the note now just as I did then. Smoke it properly and there’s minimal (if any) bite. The pouch I received from p&c was not over or under saturated - just right for a good first smoke with only a few re-lights. I’ve achieved the best test with this blend by way of a straight cob. I’m looking to add a bent cob to my collection. As a graduate of Washington High School in Missouri, I’ll naturally be going with another Missouri Meerschaum cob - simply the best. I’m confident that this cherry cavendish will taste even better through that pipe. I recommend adding this to your rotation. I hope it becomes a “go to” option for others as it has for me.

Smooth flavorful. True cherry cavendish.

I like it, great aroma, cool smoke!

Hard choice....both....great...!!!!

Excellent aroma therapy!

Prompt service Fresh tobacco

Borkum Riff Cherry Cavendish is my go to Pipe Tobacco, love the aroma and the flavor. I've tried other tobaccos, but always come back to the Cherry Cavendish.

Smoooooooth!

Good after setting out a day to dry out. If you do not dry it out , it's cough syrup.

what i have come out to understand,when thinking about BR cherry....is like a good red wine..not to dry...not to sweet.....

Perfect

very good

Im a beginner smoker ...but i actually love the smooth burn ....taste and aroma that this tobacco has ..i will soon order more

My favorite

Excelente

Bought this one in a five pack variety. Was not disappointed at all, flavorful, cool burning, no tongue bite. Will definitely get more.

great taste, my wife used to love it

Smooth smoke ,not a harsh smoke. Slow burn ,pleasant aroma.

One of my absolute favorites and what my grandfather smoked his entire life.

I have not like cherry flavored tobacco until now. The aroma was great but it burned somewhat on the hot side, it burns well and has a mild cherry flavor for taste.

Not a major deal. Enjoying the tobacco. Was just wondering why I received the tobacco in the Original resealable pouch on my first order, but received it in an Aftermarket clear sandwich type bag on the second order. Thank You.

I have been smoking a pipe for some time and Captain Black Cherry is my favorite blend

this is the best Cherry I have ever smoked. So full of flavor.

Sweet - value - love it

Nice and smooth smoke especially after dinner for me. Good tobacco.

Tasty

For me, I can never go wrong with these brands. Always a good smoke. The nice flavors that I came to love when I started pipe smoking over 40 years ago.

Excellent

classy dark cherry aroma and I liked the cut

The tobacco pouch was a Christmas gift for my fiancé, along with the pipe I gifted him with! He loves both and the Borkum Rif whiskey tobacco. Satisfied customer!

Great for blending in other areomatic tobacco noticeable aroma.

Nice smell and good taste

Burns slow. Light aroma.

This blend is smooth with plenty of flavor. It burns well and when packed correctly requires little working to keep it going

Still a novice pipe smoker, and this is the first cherry tobacco I've tried. Without anything to compare it to, I can at least say that choosing this one wasn't a mistake -- I like it quite a bit.

Very distinct flavor profile, and one of my top favorites.

Smooth and mild. No bite at all.

Smoked this for 20 years. Despite trying other brands I keep coming back to this.

This a very aromatic tobacco that smokes smooth. It is very tasty with a great room note

I've had many times, love it

burns just a little bit hotter than I really like; Other than that, I love the aroma and taste.

Very good

Very smooth great flanor

Of all the cherry blends I've had, this has been the most unpleasant. The cherry flavor comes across as overpowering and artificial, so much that I don't get any actual tobacco taste.

Great smoke for the price. Good everyday go to. I will purchase again. I am glad I finally tried this old favorite!

Awesome

Been smoking it for 20 years. Very hard to find. It takes so long to buy it.

Ok smoke. Was pleasantly surprised by how dry it was compared to other CB blends. Neither an all day nor special occasion smoke. The pouch note and aroma was quite pleasant but the taste is very artificial. Taste like a drier CB original doused with a chemical cherry flavor. CB original isn’t my favorite but I’d prefer it to this because you can actually taste the tobacco. Probably won’t buy again but was curious about what cherry flavored tobacco tasted like.

Grreat service - good tabacco

There is a very heavy, sour cherry nose and taste to this cavendish that drowns out any tobacco flavor that might be in there. It reminds me of cough syrup more than anything. It burns a very cool smoke, even in my short pipe, and that's perhaps the best quality I can find in this tobacco.

Fantastic flavors and aroma!!

My Dad loves it he finished the 2 packs I bought him in 2 weeks. He loves smoking his pipe instead of cigars or cigarettes.

Awesome

a littles disappointed. better out there then this

Really enjoy the Captain Black Cherry. Great taste and great cherry aroma.

I have just got back into pipe smoking after a long hiatus. I also finished carving the pipe I smoke. I went back to my old and simple favorite. You have to the consistency of this time honored product.

This is one of the first tobaccos I ever tried, and it remains a favorite of mine. Unlike other cherry pipe tobaccos, this is not overpoweringly fruity. The tobacco comes through beautifully, and the cherry finish is just enough to please my sweet tooth.

A little too much on the processed side for me, but I gave it to a friend and he loves it. Definite cherry notes, but a little bitey for me

Im most use to a dry tobacco so this little moist kind really caugth me by surprise still has a really nice flavor and aroma

Nice cherry notes now and then. A very fresh/moist tobacco, but a little harsher smoke than I like.

This is a very enjoyable smoke!

I bought the put together kit it was a starter kit he wanted to try something else but I surprised him with this cherry cavendish and he loved the aroma and the taste he said it’s not overwhelming and he was very surprised it was the first time he smoked a pipe and he loved the experience and flavor definitely buying more.

Captain Black Cherry is a great tobacco with a great flavor and aroma that is good anytime.

For those pipesmokers who can enjoy a cherry flavored blend, and I know there are a good many, I would heartily recommend Captain Black Cherry. For those who fairly disdain aromatics, I would suggest steering clear of it. It has ample cherry pouch aroma, and flavor while being smoked. The room note is also pleasant and not overpowering. Certainly not offensive to anyone, except to those who hate tobacco smoke period. But I've perennially found it to be one of the more even-tempered and flavorful cherry blends out there. It doesn't get hot or nasty like some cherry blends can. I rather think that anyone who savors the flavor of cherry along with a fairly decent quality smoke would like this. Cheers!

I love this tobacco. it's the only one I buy from now on. I don't like heavy tobaccos and this is a light one I love.

Very nice smelling sweet aromatic tobacco. I could not be happier with the product. Also great customer service. This is going to be a staple of my pipe smoking.

I really like this blend its cherry good!!

This was one of my first tobaccos and I love it today as much as I did 20 years ago. The flavor and aroma are truly unique and this stands out a I've any other cherry I have ever tried, and I've tried ait of them. I just never get tires of it and will always have it around.

Good quality. Burns well and has a great aromatic flavor

Pouch note right away is a very strong almost sickly chemical sweetness with maraschino cherry. Taste wasn't as sweet (thank God!) with some hints to the cherry flavoring used. Mild strength but found it can burn real hot if smoke too quickly or not packed just right. Left a lot of moisture at the end of the bowl. Room note is pleasant but not a huge fan of the taste

Not so much. Has a good nose, but no matching flavor.

Captain Black Cherry gets great response from almost all who smell the aroma. It's truly a favorite of mine but i need to mention the Captains new blend (COPPER) is a very close second. All of the Captains blends are smooth smoking and enjoyable. I doubt if i would ever change to another brand.

i have been using Borkum Riff for over 32 years and recently tried the cherry liquor was quite pleased . The aroma of the tobacco and freshness convinced me to enjoy it thoroughly .

I have been smoking this tobacco for several years but I have been unable to purchase it and had to buy subs, then I found Pipes and Cigars - who had the brand in any size I wanted to buy - they have had me as a customer for a long time and I will continue be one. This plus their service is very good and the price is right If you are a pipe smoker you will enjoy their selection and service

Best there is period!

Excellent pipe tobacco, great flavor, Fast delivery......two thumbs up!

Great aroma and flavor

another fine smoke from the captain, rich flavor, but not over powering

very enjoyable, smooth with just the right amount of flavor

Requested by my wife she loves the cherry smell reminds her of her Dad. I liked it flavor and smoke-ability.

very enjoyable, not too over powering

Personal Favorite!

This is my favorite Cherry tobacco. Alot of people dont like it because they dont like flavoring. This tobacco has an extremely potent smell/taste/flavor if you only like plain non flavored tobacco this is not for you.

All of Captain Black's blends are good, and Cherry is my favorite. My Grandfathers smoked the Cherry and the white pouch. It's classic Americana.

An old favorite that was good enough for my Grandfather, and it's good enough for me. Grandfather owned an Oliver tractor dealership in Deerfield, Michigan. He would smoke a bowl of Captain Black Cherry followed immediately by a White Owl cigar, followed by a bowl of regular Captain Black, followed by another White Owl, and he would repeat that all day long! He lived to 92. This tobacco has a pleasant smell packed with a ton of nostalgia for me; it's the smell of 20th-century rural America.

Purchase this Borkum Riff Cherry with a sampler multi pack. I really liked the mild cherry flavor along with the rest of the tobacco. Not over powering and light on the tongue.

I smoked Captain Black & Captain Black Cherry many years ago. I have only recently began to enjoy my pipes again. I generally use Captain Black Cherry to blend with other tobaccos that taste good but have a lighter room note to enhance the aroma. Overall this is a good tobacco, even by itself. I am no connoisseur of pipe tobacco but I am trying to learn.

good smoke wife likes the smell of cherry

If you like 'em sweet and aromatic, the buck stops here. More pipe candy from Captain Black. Everyone loves the room note and the flavor is pretty authentically cherry. I always keep some in stock. If pipe smoking was a vacation, this is Disney World.

To me, the initial experience of opening a previously un-tried tobacco has been one of the things I've most been enjoying as I've worked my way through a bunch of different tobaccos. Having set that stage, I want to my review of this tobacco by saying how disappointed I was in this tobacco, pre-smoke. I expected a fragrant, mellow fruit aroma and was surprised to get hit with a smell I associate with cheap drug-store cough drops. It is a strong odor... Moving beyond my initial revulsion, though, I was extremely surprised at the mellow smoke, lack of bite, and pleasant room-note. In a funny way, this tobacco was nothing like what I expected at any of the parts of the process: It was cheap, but well-cut and acceptably dried and packed well, almost overwhelming in the pouch, but very pleasantly smoke-able in the pipe. If you're looking for something that is most certainly not an "artisan" or "boutique" brand, but is nice to have on-hand when you want something with a little cherry twist, this is a surprisingly good choice.

Love it

The tobacco is hreat, but the time from when I click send to when get this to my doorstep is fantastic

Good

Umm. Well it is very Cherry.... but way to much for me. I like aromatics but this is heavy on cherry... smokes exactly how it smells. and actually ghosted my pipe. might want to dedicate a pipe to this blend if its your thing but not mine. Did burn smooth. Will not be reordering.

One of my all time favorite tobaccos. Living in a third world country this is a real pleasure and a treat.

My favorite cherry tobacco. I love the Captain Black line of tobaccos and this is my favorite in their line up. It is mildly sweet, with a delicate cherry flavor. Not too sweet, not too overpowering. Some aromatics I find heavy and sickeningly sweet. Not this one. It had a perfect balance of sweet with a very mild bite. Highly recommended. This is the one I often smoke after dinner. The room note is wonderful too and often draws compliments.

Pouch smells like delicious red licorice. Smoke tastes like chemically potpourri.

not as smooth as i thought it would be. will not be buying it again

This is the first time I have purchased this flavor and am vey pleased with it. I will definitely be buying more!!

After a little airing out, CB Cherry is a wonderful smoke. Not a smoke all day tobacco, but very satisfying none the less.

a great tobacco for the beginner

You guys are great I get exactly what I ordered and I get it quick

Soothing and aromatic, will buy again

One of the most cherry pipe tobacco.

I mix this stuff 50/50 with 1Q. Very light and mild, not really strong enough for later in the evening. I get a lot of favorable comments about the aroma, though I don't notice it much myself.

Great aroma, very smoth and very tasty. Always plesasing and relaxing.

Fast shipping....great quality...tons of variety.... Your one stop store for you! Thank you

If your looking for a cherry tobacco this is a good one from captain black. After several bowls it burns hot almost like a vapor so I pack lose and draw light and never once had tounge bite. Leaves a pleasing taste and a mild room note.

I decided to try a couple of different flavors of Captain black pipe tobacco rather than just go with the standard flavor and I was pleasantly surprised... even my wife thought that the smell was very nice, the tobacco is always smooth and never a disappointment no matter which Captain black I have tried. I am a casual pipe smoker and have tried many varieties and I keep coming back to the old standard, you won't be disappointed in any flavor

I don't remember this tobacco ever being like this. Maybe it was a bad batch or just old. I'm not blamimg Pipes & Cigars just making an observation.

My favorite big company tobacco

Captain Black Cherry smooth. Good

Excellent over all transaction. Great product and service.

not much cherry flavor or aroma

Beautiful aroma that gets complimented every time I light it. Even out of the pouch, the fragrance is balanced and fresh. The smoke is full and white, however the tobacco is bold in taste and has a bit of bite to it. For the price, this is a great, fragrant tobacco to enjoy.

Very pleased with it. A great smoke!

Good in all respects, but would like even more cherry flavor, if possible.

One of my favorite aromatic cherry blends. Smooth and has a very sweet room note.

Capt Black has another great blend. Smooth, no bite and great aroma. I've been smoking Capt Black regular for over 40 yrs and this is a nice change.

Not bad.

Great flavor and smooth smoking.

I found the tobacco mild, not as aromatic as I would have liked, yet pleasant to smoke.

Excellent value, taste, fast delivery.

Good

smoked the BR Cherry back in the 70's and it always burned hot and the room note was not as pleasant. this version of BR Cherry with Cavendish cut however seems to be a bit more even smoking and stays lit bowl after bowl and the room note is very appealing. it is my go-to cherry blend. wish it came in the big top tins.

I found this blend to be very tasty with a whole bunch of cherry flavor

IT WAS GOOD BUT IT WAS IT REALLY SMOOTH

Very smooth and tasteful. I really enjoy this flavor.

Over the top flavor...flavor is too artificial. Mixed 1 part with 3 parts Lane 1Q and it was pretty good. Will not buy again though.

Good room note, Seemed a little hot. Not very strong on the cherry flavor.

not too bad

Great tobacco at a great price

This was the tobacco my Dad smoked most often. Just started myself and finding it here made it even more enjoyable than I could have imagined. Wish he was still alive to enjoy together, but such a special aroma it's like he is as close as he can be in my memories.

Thanks for the easy way to get the best quality of tobacco

This is a tobacco I've smoked on and off for over 25 years. Easy draw with no bite. Wonderful aroma and a good consistent smoke every time. Give it a try!!!

arrived as stated,fair tast,wife likes the smell, seems to go stail pretty fast but would definatly buy again.

I generally prefer Cavendish tobacco's including the BR vanilla, but this is lacking a bit in flavor and aroma.

I was very pleased and impressed - I certainly will do business with you again

For his birthday, my husband requested a new pipe and the Borkum tobacco. He loves it. Thanks.

I am new to aromatics and this was the best yet . Great flavor not too over powering, smokes great right To the bottom of the bowl. I will be ordering more of this.

Smoking this for 20 years says it all.

Great stuff, not dry, shipped fast

captain black in any flavor is always welcomed

Ordered my tobacco and it showed up very quickly and fresh!

My husband loves this blend, and this was a good deal and fast shipping! Thanks!

Very happy with the product, shipping, and price. Will definitely order again.

Been buying for close to 10 years, Very pleased with service and product. Excellent!

THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE TRIED THE CHERRY BLEND I HAVE ALLWAYS TRIED THE GOLD. THE CHERRY HAS A REALLY GOOD TASTE.YOU CAN NOT GET THE CAPTAIN BLACK CHERRY IN ANY SMOKE SHOPS AROUND HERE. I FIND IT IS CHEAPER FROM YOU GUYS. I PLAN ON KEEEPING ON TRYING THIS BLEND. AND PLANNING ON GETTING MORE PIPES IN THE FUTURE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH

Perfect gift for my dad thanks
