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.

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.

Fresh pipe 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!!!

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.

Decent
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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Cherry cavendish by borkum riff
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.

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

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.

Brings back childhood memories of my Dad
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.

Good, recognizable flavor. Smokes very well, you don't have to "chase" the embers to enjoy this tobacco without relighting ten times. Will definitely be trying other Borkum Riff products after smoking the cherry. ~~~ 10/10
