Pleasantly Surprised
This is my first time to try Antietam but after I read the description, I thought since I was ordering Sherman's March anyway, I might as well try a pouch of Antietam. When I opened the pouch, I liked the cut of the tobacco but I wasn't overly impressed with the smell in the pouch. When I tried it, I was really surprised at the taste. It is sweet but not too sweet. I didn't get much of a cherry flavor but I did taste some dark cherry. The room note is nice and pleasant. I like Antietam and I will probably order it again.

I was pleasantly surprised that what seemed to be a light aroma had such a bold flavor. It was cool on the tongue and fills the room with a pleasant flavor. I will strongly consider putting this in my rotation.

Very subtle
As a dedicated aro smoker who loves cavendish tobacco and cherry flavor, I really looked forward to trying this one. For once, it is a cherry with no bite! It is almost underwhelming cherry flavor, but the subtlety isn't bad. I was actually surprised in a pleasant way. It's not my all day every day go-to, but it's definitely pleasant enough to return to. A decent but very very subtle blend for cherry lovers unless you're looking for a cough syrup flavor; you won't find that here.

Aroma was subtle, not too heavy. Smell was good, though (wife hasn't smelled it yet, but I suspect she won't hate it - she only likes the smell of cherry blends). Burned well, without bite, right out of the tin. Looking forward to enjoying this out on the lake or deck this summer. Price wasn't bad for the quantity.

Best taste out of all so far. Low smoke. Has hints of chocolate and raisins. I smoke it several times a day and I would say it's pretty much perfect.

Rich and flavorful!
Extremely pleasant flavor with what I pick out as notes of vanilla with not too sweet Cavendish. Definitely an all day smoker if you like aromatic tobacco.

Too Tame For Me
A very mild cherry blend that arrived soaking (literally) wet in the can. Took it forever to dry out. Some might prefer the weak cherry flavor in the background but there was nothing else to taste with this blend. A beginner might like this as a start for their introduction to a mild cherry smoke. If you want lots of cherry try Cult.

Updated Review
Updating a previous review. Bought this in February, had some, and left it sitting in the package until today. Got it back out to hang at my brand new workbench and the time has been VERY kind to this blend. Flavors came together nicely, made my garage smell heavenly, and satisfied my craving for a great aromatic. This is THE cherry blend for me now, unless someone has a better suggestion!

Solid budget buy, battle of blends 2nd place
I bought: borkim riff cherry, Antietam & Paladin black Cherry.... Riff ran hot and meh.... Antietam was nice just kept going out maybe needs air time? I really enjoyed Paladin best! It was just nice all around.:

Bought all 6 flavors, they smoke fairly mild but the flavor and room note is not as strong as I was hoping for. It is hard to tell the peach, cherry and vanilla apart. Quality is okay, just not what I was looking for.

I love Brigadier Black Antietam!
I love Brigadier Black Antietam! I started pipe smoking in June when I got a pipe for Father’s Day. I wasn’t a smoker so I didn’t know anything about tobacco so I’ve been trying different types. So far this has been the best blend. It’s smooth, tastes and smells good, didn’t give me tongue bite and it doesn’t have an aftertaste. I’m still on the hunt for other tobaccos that I like, but, as of today this is the best.

Brigadier Black Antietam
This my first try of the Brigadier Black series and I was very impressed! It has wonderful old time aromatic scent of cinnamon spice that provided a truly delicious taste and room note - so good that I immediately ordered the 8 ounce can! Yum!🙂

+Outstanding!
I ordered the small pouch of Brigadier Black Antietam with several other purchases. When I opened the pouch I was immediately taken by the aroma. I loaded a pipe and my wife commented on the aroma, later in the day I smoked another bowl. Results? Great aroma, great taste, no bite. My eight ounce can arrived a week or so later. It's outstanding in every way. I also tried a tin of Cult Blood Red Moon and am equally pleased.

Take it slow
Recently returned to pipe smoking and wanted to find a good cherry blend. At first, I was seriously let down by this one. As with any other blend, I got way more enjoyment and flavor when I consciously made myself slow down with it. Kind of a metaphor for life and the whole reason I got into pipe smoking to begin with. Definitely want to give it a shot.

Like Dr. Pepper? try this
If you like Dr. Pepper and/or Cherry Coke, this is for you. It has a spicy tang like those sodas bring without the harsh bite. This can has been solid. Took straight from can and into a mason jar. Perfect moisture and pack. It's not overly cherry, that's why I compare it to Dr. Pepper. It's not overly cherry, but when you smoke a bowl of this, you'll see what I'm talking about.

Perfect for Battle
Smoking a pipe is an experience and when smoking this, I couldn't help but pay homage to the men who fell during the battle of Antietam with each puff. Upon opening the pouch, there's a rich scent of chocolate, cream and vanilla with a hint of cherry or berry. The smoke is smoother than a Confederate cannonball and the aroma is rich and creamy. I love the marketing of Brigadier Black naming the blends after historic Civil War battles, which should be enough to intriguingly seduce any piper. I salute you!

A good taste for all day!
Soft Black Cavendish with not too sweet black cherry flavor! I love cavendish tobacco and always been a fan of pipe smoking, and I remember starting pipe smoking when I was in my twenties. I can definitely tell that this is going to be an enjoyable smoking experience with the waft of the black cherry flavor and smell.

I bought a can of Antietam before I bought anything else from Brigadier Black. It pretty much pushed me to buy the whole series. A sweet spice note in this one really keeps you asking for more. Nice amount of cavendish married well with the other blends.

Antietam's not the familiar artificial cherry that turns me off.
I used to avoid cherry blends altogether, but I bought several to give a try and ended up finding two I loved; Scotty's Bass Pond and Russ' Nation's Capital. They made me rethink my disdain for cherry blends, so I tried Antietam hoping it would be a good as Alamo and Sherman's March, both also from Brigadier Black and both quite nice, though not cherry. Antietam is not bad at all, in fact it is the same high quality as the other Brigadier Black tobaccos I've tried, but unlike the others, the flavor profile and aroma here were somewhat stunted, mild even. Not much of the cherry note comes through which may be what you're looking for and may have been what they were going for since so many cherry tobaccos are overly saturated. What does come through tastes natural and balanced with the sweetness of the black Cavendish and not the familiar artificial cherry that turns me off. Overall I'd say it is a good smoke, no bite, easily lit, stays lit, and is mild enough to be smoked anytime of day. The price for all the Brigadier Black blends is a bonus. If you like cherry blends and find too often they are way too strong, this may just be the blend for you. If you are a fan of 'very cherry' blends, this may leave you wanting more. Hope this helps.

This tobacco makes me angry.
This tobacco makes me angry. I got this on a checkout special several months ago...I am not an aromatic guy. I opened the tin and my wife took a whiff and said it stunk like "funky cherries". I smoked a bowl of it. It surprised me. It tasted great. It didn't bite my tongue. It smelled fantastic...anywhere I smoked it, people loved the aroma. It didn't stink up my garage (man cave). It actually smelled better after smoking this. I blew through half a tin in a very short time (aromatics tend to hit the trash can quickly, or languish untouched at the back of my tobacco cabinet indefinitely, pulled out and smoked very seldom, then returned to exile after my tongue protests vehemently. It took DISCIPLINE to leave this one alone in the Mason jar I placed it in...and I mean a concerted effort! I have been on a Virginia/VaPer bender for upwards of four or five months now...I just love Virginia flakes. Tonight, the mood struck me for an aromatic after a particularly tasty meal. So I loaded up my Stanwell Royal Danish with Antietam that has been sealed in a Mason jar for what has to be close to five to six months. This tobacco makes me angry. Angry at the FDA for presuming to know what is best for us pipers...for taking away magnificent blends like this in a greedy money and power grab that is a violation of our right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. This tobacco is shockingly good with age on it...something highly uncommon amongst aromatics. And I just spent my tobacco budget on other (excellent) tobaccos not three days ago. I hope there is still some left when I can place my next order. Angry.

Love Antietam
My first experience with Brigadier Black blends was with Gettysburg. I loved it, so I tried Bull Run. Liked it as well. Next came Antietam and it is my favorite so far. It has good flavor, but isn't too sweet. Just right. And smokes cool.

BIG DISSAPOINTMENT
BIG DISSAPOINTMENT...2 for flavor. I added 60% BCA to give the tobacco some flavor. It helped.' I write reviews about tobacco that I do not enjoy so other people do not waste there money. This tobacco has no cherry taste that I can taste. I would purchase again.

Would Expect Quality in a Cannister and Got It.
Good OK smoke. Got it on a checkout special. Hardly any cherry aroma but pleasant. Can report almost virtually no bite at all and smokes cool and long. Very slightly moist as how I like my tobacco. Really have no complaints. Wish I bought it again but they had other cheaper "specials" going on I wanted to try on a limited budget.

Try it !...You'll Like it : )
Two more tins under my belt and free shipping to boot ! Still my go-to tobacco.. Antietam is the finest in the line hands down. I like this just a smidge better than Lane 1Q. Why ? because my empty jar says so.

Not the worst,
Not the worst I've ever had, But the BEST, I' ll enjoy trying the others.

Great Flavor!!!
Glad I bought this! It reminds of Molto Dolce from Suttif when opened it, but for a fraction of the price and not as wet. Nice subtle hint of cherry and vanilla with a fruity twist. No bite whatsoever. This is right up my alley... *note if you're looking for a straight up cherry tobacco taste try, Bjarne Viking Erik The Red.

Hooked!
Bought on what I call a"check out" special with my last order. After the first bowl, I was hooked! Taste and aroma are just wonderful, with my wife even saying it reminded her of baking cookies. Will be ordering more as this has been added to my shelf.
5 out of 5
Well worth trying
Bought this at a sale/promotion price to get free shipping. Wasn't expecting much, but have been pleasantly surprised. A smooth mellow smoke with a hint of cherry. Little or no bite and often burns to the bottom with a fine grey ash. Will get more when my tin runs out. May try some of the other Brigadiers.

So good even the neighbors will like it.
mmmmmmmmm Antietam. Smooth and with a great room note. My neighbor even had to "pop" by and see if he could share a little. What are neighbors for.

Goos smoke!
Can't say I really detected a cherry note but maybe my palette isn't quite sophisticated enough. It is a very pleasant smoke with sweet overtones. Unlike many tobaccos, the topping isn't overdone and the taste of the tobacco comes through. I agree with many of the reviewers that this is an all-day smoke. Zero tongue bite.

Great Service
Products are great and delivery is extremely fast.

Great all day smoke !
Very good smoke can be a little wet but burns very well ; maybe due to the Florida humidity ? One can smoke this stuff all day . think i will try the other brigadier blends . Oh and the price is right for half a pound of tobacco.

Comes as advertised
You get a nice taste of sweet Cavendish Tobacco, with a solid hint of Cherry. I agree with a previous reviewer, that the best way to smoke it is with a slow sipping cadence. That really seems to help bring out the Black Cherry Flavor a bit more. Has a nice room note IMHO. Got a nice hour long smoke from my General Corn Cob with this tobacco. This tobacco is MELLOW. Nothing overwhelms you, but you get a solid taste of the Black Cavendish with just more than a hint of the Black Cherry. NOT goopy at all. Burns right down to White Ash.

Very Good Aromatic Blend!
Antietam is a fine aromatic blend that is a regular in my rotation. The tin note offers a pleasing cherry aroma with hints of confectioneries and vanilla. It lights easily and requires few relights. It smokes cool with no tongue bite. It burns evenly and completely without a goopy mess, and leaves minimal dottle. A gentle sipping cadence brings out the best of this blend - a mild cherry flavor that doesn't dominate the natural tobacco qualities. If you enjoy aromatics then give Antietam a try - I think you'll agree that it's a quality blend for a great price (and the tin art is pretty cool too).
Customer Testimonials
This is a very interesting blend. First it is nothing like what they show in the picture.. you expect to see black gold but it seems to have different tones from black to yellow. The smell is interesting but no cherry note that I can smell. If you smoke it to fast as i did the first time it can bite slightly so i can say it has no bite. But other than that its a nice mild smoke.
PM of Bayamon, PR
Ok, I finally got a chance to smoke this blend and what a surprise I got. As i mentioned before upon opening the tin i did not smell any cherry note but what i discovered is a scent I havent smelled in over 40 years which was the primary reason i started smoking pipes in the first place and a scent that had eluded me from finding it among any other tobaccos until now. It is an old fashion sent, sweet & fruity i would best describe it but not like any cherry. Perhaps some of the elder smokers here can pinpoint what it is I'm smelling in this blend ? The magic happened during the smoking process and not before. And what a delightful and pleaseant smoke it was guys. Actually smoking this blend doesnt smell like what your smelling out of the tin. This is what took me by suprise. My only other thought was I wish this distinctive aroma that I am smelling was a little more pronounced. I dont know what else is out in the market smells like this but it will do for me now that i finally found what I'm looking for in a tobacco blend. Its burns slowly which gave me about 2 hours time to smoke it. It burns into a fine powdery ash when your finsihed. It ran cool. NO TOUNGE BITE ! I know P&P only gave the room note a low score but the room note for me lasted and lasted like no other Aromatic that i have been smoking. So this was also a big plus I wasn't expecting. They say that finding your tobacco is like selecting a fine wine and I think I finally found my go to smoke from now on. This blend (Antietam) and Alamo are by far my favorite two blends out of the series. But Guys ! Give this one a try if you havent already, you might be pleasantly suprised like I was.

I didnt have time to smoke this blend yet but i did open the tin because i was curious what it smelled like.. The tin says it has a "smooth pleasant cherry note" but upon opening the tin it does not smell like cherry at all or any cherry ive ever smelled or eaten. I do not recognise this scent. It is an iteresting scent but maybe i'll have a better idea what it is when i smoke this. Most of BB blends pretty much smell like they say on the tins but this Antietam just doesnt smell like cherry to me. I am looking forward to smoking it and when I do i'll return to write a follow up on its performance. But dont be afraid to try it. Maybe your experiance will be different than mine ?
