Cherry disappointment not Cherry delight
I was expecting more of a Cherry taste and a pleasant room note. I was disappointed on both counts. It is a mellow smoke with no tongue bite or burn, but I felt I needed to re-light more often than I would like to. My wife usually likes the smell of my pipe tobacco, but she did not find this one pleasant. I will be trying some other Cherry tobaccos to find one that is a better fit for me.

I purchased the combo package
I purchased the combo package of Borkum Riff Cherry Cavandish & Captain Black Cherry. Having smoked Borkum Riff for a number of years & now trying Captain Black, I find that I slightly prefer the Captain Black of it's stronger cherry flavor.

The Daily Standard For Over a Qrter Century For Me
This has been my go to for over 25 years. Of course I smoke a LOT of different tobaccos, but I ALWAYS come back to this. You'll never see my humidor without at least one unopened pouch, and usually 2 or 3. Always smooth, aromatic, and even my better half likes it. It almost functions as an aphrodisiac. It's always pleasant when paired with a fine rye in the evening, or if I'm out on the lake fishing. Definitely my all time favorite hands down.

Borkum Riff Cherry Cavendish
Cherry Cavendish has a pleasant room note with plenty of cherry aroma. The flavor is mild cherry with a relatively slow burn. One of my favorites because of the slow burn and cool smoke.

Very impressed
So I'm new to this but this tobacco blew me away. I ordered this and like 5 other flavors and wasn't to excited to try it. I have this other cherry flavored tobacco so i thought it'd be similar, it wasn't. The cherry taste is VERY strong (in a good way). You can absolutely taste and smell the cherry. It's not like some other flavored tobaccos with a muted taste and smell. I doubt any other cherry tobaccos compare.

Nice but I prefer this on the rocks, not straight
I can only speak for myself but for my preference it is a bit stronger than I expected. I smoked a half bowl to try it out without issue but when I chose to smoke another later that afternoon, it was coating my throat with cherry flavor. I mixed some of the Captain Black Cherry with Captain Black Original to tone down on the sweetness, which ended up making a very enjoyable combined blend.

Specifically requested by my 88 yo father, who enjoys the memorable smell of this brand for his nice pipe smoke. He particularly appreciates the packaging of this one. It makes filling the pipe easier for him and he uses it when emptied for his other tobaccos.

Tart - Reminds me of tart, REAL cherry cookies. An original OTC blend.
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.

The winner out of my first purchase of tobaccos.
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.

Cherries and flavor
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.

Terrific!
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

A great cherry option
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.

Good Aroma
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.

New To This
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.

Unpleasant
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.

Best tobacco on the Market
Been smoking it for 20 years. Very hard to find. It takes so long to buy it.
2 out of 5
Too Artificial
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

WAY TOO SOUR!!!
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.

A Favorite- Borkum Riff Cherry Cavendish
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.

Definite cherry notes, but a little bitey for me
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

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

Captain Black - One of the better cherries in the bowl.
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!

My favorite aromatic
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.

Room note is pleasant but not a huge fan of the taste
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- Need I say More?
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.

like very much
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

It's classic Americana
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.
5 out of 5
This is the smell of small-town America in the mid 20th-century.
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.

Nice Light Cherry Smoke
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.
4 out of 5
Acceptable tobacco for the price.
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.

Cherry sweetness from the Captain
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.

Surprisingly Pleasant
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.

Beware... Very Cherry
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.

Nice cherry flavor but not too sweet
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.

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.

Smooth blends
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

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.

My Go-To Cherry tobacco
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.
