Lane Limited's Very Cherry begins with mellow, nutty Burley, and smooth, sweet Virginias, along with a touch of Lane's famous, soft black Cavendish, to create an easy-smoking blend. That, you might think, would be enough, but Lane turns the dial by adding one of the zestiest cherry flavors you'll ever encounter. The flavor is somewhat subdued, but the aroma will please anyone who enjoys the aroma of cherries. They had it right when they named it very Cherry.
I bought the Very Cherry because I wanted to see how the flavor would taste. It just wasn't what I was expecting. By itself I am not liking the blast of cherry flavor but I did blend some of it with some Captain Black Gold that I had left. I am enjoying that blend. It toned down the cherry flavor making it more of a note and not the predominate flavor.
I've been smoking this for years it has a great bold flavor and it is the only tobacco my wife will let me smoke indoors, she enjoys the aroma.
Very cherry has a strong cherry candy aroma in the pouch but no cherry flavor when smoked. Tends to burn hot with a good amount of tongue bite. I wanted to like this tobacco but I am having a hard time doing so. Maybe with a little black cherry cavendish blended in it would be better. I won't order this again.
I enjoy aromatic tobacco. I found that some you have to smoke slow and others stay mild even with energetic puffing. With Lane Very Cherry I could not enjoy it with either. When I first lit up it was ok but for me the taste was terrible. It didn't taste like cherry. To me it tasted like medicine that someone tried covering up with a funky flavor. Then as I smoked it for a while it started to bite. I decided to dump out the rest of the bowl and enjoy one of my other tobaccos. Now I have to try to blend the Very Cherry with something else to see if it can be enjoyed.
If you are an aromatic cherry junkie, then I recommend this one. Very pleasant room note, cherry smell/taste throughout the smoke. No bite, a good slow easy smoke. I can't compare it to other cherry tobaccos but this is a must have if you love aromatics. Peterson bent used
