May Vs. December

It is so good and sweet

very good taste

very good

It's like going home. I tried it after I had seen my old high school coach smoking it. I bought a Missouri Meerschaum (better than the current line), and a pouch of Paladin. 1973.

Nice, smooth but feels a little bitterness at the beginning of smoke. Don’t know, may be it just my tongue where over exposed to smoke that time. In total it’s enjoyable experience in overall.

Tastes like a bright cherry cordial. The best cherry flavor I have tried among several, and I have been through just about all of 'em sold by P&C. I can't find a single negative about it. One reviewer noted a chemical cherry taste. I was afraid of this, but alas, did not get it on my tongue. Too dang bad it isn't sold by the pound. I am getting the can next time, and not the pouch!

The subtle, Black Cherry taste and pleasant aroma of this easy smoking tobacco is the hallmark of this product. The smooth, non-biting blend is a pleasurable smoke, bowl after bowl. Many of my non-smoking friends have requested my pouch filled Paladin for just a whiff of its pleasant aroma. Really!

Chemical cherry, but ahh, the nostalgia factor is high. Takes me back to the 80's.

Tastes great and great aroma too.

Cult Blood Red Moon blows this out of the water. I still enjoyed it though.

Paladin black cherry pipe tobacco is smooth, mild, aromatic and has a great flavor. It is my favorite pipe tobacco.

Paladin Black Cherry was the first pipe tobacco that I smoked and enjoyed. Very reasonable price where I live as they sell it in the local grocery store. It made me a better person. If you smoke this, you should become a better person too. Very flavorful and not too harsh. Has a great cherry aroma.

Finally, finally found what I've been looking for! Paladin is excellent in all aspects--fantastic aroma, easy lighting, even burning and just pleasant and satisfying all around. I guess everyone has different tastes, as I read some of these reviews giving Paladin a so-so rating. However, for me it is my top tobacco now and I still do enjoy Sasieni, BCA and others from time to time. Thank you, P&C and Paladin!!!

I love the mild flavor and deep cherry smell. It's my go to.

My favorite

Because it's better than abysmal but there's no 1.5 star rating. The cherry topping is harsh and acrid, completely overwhelming any of the goodness of the leaf. You had _really_ better like cherry and just about nothing else if you're going to keep this.

Decent smoking tobacco.

Smooth mellow flavor. Great product for the cherry lover

Paladin Black Cherry is an excellent "dessert" smoke. The black cherry taste is as pleasant as the aroma.

very nice, smooth smoke for the price

Very good sweet aromatic. Now my go to when I need that different flavor hit.

For someone that is new to enjoying pipe tobacco, this is my favorite. Very smooth for the new user.

Good commercial tobacco to smoke out doors and offers a nice change from my usual everyday blend.

My new favorite...smooth and aromatic!

Quite possibly the worst pipe tobacco I ever smoked. I had read many reviews blasting this tobacco but I never believed that any pipe tobacco could be that bad. I was wrong. If you like this abomination, God bless you. I took two puffs and I was done. Threw the whole package away. There was enough propylene glycol in it to paint a house. It will take me some time to get the smell and taste out of my mouth. I used a cob that I was about to toss away and thank God for that. It would have been permanently ghosted. If you have suicidal tendencies or are a masochist, by all means try it. Not me. Yuck.

Come wintertime ; this is my favorite tobacco to place on top of wood burning stove.

Hard to find in stores around here, anymore - but is a tobo that I've enjoyed since the 1970s! SO glad I can find it here!

I smoked Paladin Black Cherry back in the 70's and I liked it. Now, it seems to hot on the tounge and to much Cherry flavor.

very nice smoke , not over bearing in flavor, would recommend

as smooth as it is pleasant smelling , reminds me of the smell when my father was alive

It is very mild and a joy to smoke.

I agree with the review that said this tastes like cough syrup. Also leaves a lingering chemical taste in your mouth. Won't be buying this again. Bought several cheery blends looking for a good one. My favorite one so far is Cult - Blood Red Moon.

Good tasty cherry baccy. One of my "carry around" pouches at work. Little tongue bite, lot of flavor. No complaints.

Paladin black cherry tobacco is very tasty and burns decently... not too wet but tolerable. I carry a pouch of Paladin as my workaday tobacco. Tough day? Paladin will make it cherry.

After a long hiatus from pipes, smoking only cigars for the last 10 years or so, I decided to bring the pipes back onto active duty. One of the first tobaccos to be incinerated in my pipes was Paladin Black Cherry, an old favorite. And it certainly did not disappoint me in the least. An incredible taste and "truck note" brought back many fine memories of times past and promises of many new experiences. I found as before, no tongue bite if smoked properly, and an absolutely enjoyable smoking experience. The cherry flavor and aroma are just outstanding, and the aftertaste makes me want to immediately fill up another bowl. I actually have many different pipe tobaccos stored in Mason jars, and this one sits proudly in the front. When a couple of other tobaccos that are currently out of stock come in, I will add more PBC to the order. Thank you Pipes and Cigars for the great service.

very smooth taste , aroma is well liked . Used to smoke it a long time ago and my father and I used to share pouches . would recommend to a beginner who likes cherry .

Got what I was looking for.

did not like it

Ty for my pip tobacco I will definitely make more purchase's ty

I ordered this because my wife's grandfather smoked a cherry tobacco and she always loved the smell. Since he passed away she has spoke of it often. This turned out to not be his brand (probably Middleton cherry but its no longer made). That being said, the smell from the pouch was very strong, it was also a bit wet and had me worried. I was thinking I'd be in for a heck of a bite and a sickeningly cherry syrup taste. But it didn't bite at all, the taste was much more subtle than the pouch note and the room note was more woody than I would have guessed. It's not my thing but it packed and smoked well with no bite and was pretty smooth considering. The price is also fair. If cherry is your thing, give it a try. Not much to lose and you may like it.

In the 80s every time I bought a pouch it was stale. The stuff you sell is DELICIOUS!!

It's a mild and pleasing taste, I will most likely purchase it again , after I deplete my most recient purchase.

Could get this pipe tobacco at any gas-mart when I was a young adult! It was one of my first favorites! It's hard to find ANYWHERE near me now! I'm SO glad P&C can send it to me when I have a craving!

Very flavorful and smooth

I used to smoke blackcherry many years ago, and it was nice to re-visit it again. Brought back a lot of memories. I really enjoy the taste and has a pleasent room note.

Awesome

Smells amazing opening it and even better burning, I roll my own cigarettes never was much of a pipe smoker. This will work for rolling but may need to dry out a few days first but good flavor from what I can see. I tried 50/50 of this and ohm mild mint and it works pretty good and taste is pretty good too. If you do what I did make sure there's more of the dry tobacco than the cherry or it will gum up your machine. Nice cherry flavor and amazing aroma.

Much cherry very wow

WOW. I'm a huge fan of Bjarne Viking Erik The Red but figured why not try this. I'm very pleasantly surprised with the beautifully sweet cherry smell as I opened the pouch. Yet when lit, it was a nice cool very pleasant but not overly powerful smoke. This, is going to make a great addition to the cherry collection.

I'm a relatively new pipe smoker. I tried the Paladin Black Cherry, and although I don't know that much about tobaccos yet, I thought it was just OK. It was fairly strong with a very faint cherry taste. Towards the end of the bowl I did notice that it burned quite hot and had some tongue bite. I'll have to try another cherry blend I think!

On the one hand, it is a CHERRY tobacco. On the other, it is quite a strong flavor - to the point of overpowering in my opinion. Too much for me.

I smoked up a sample of it and found it to be very mild, long burning and tasty. Now I'm waiting for my 2 lb back-order to arrive.

I smoke mostly aromatics, and I have a fondness for OTC brands like this. This is the exception and the first tobacco I have thrown away. It taught me that I do have a limit to just how heavily cased a blend I can tolerate after all. My guess is that if you like this particular rendition of a black cherry flavoring, you'll really like this as an inexpensive OTC. For me, it was just bad. I felt like my tongue was coated in cough syrup during and after smoking. The room note was noticeably chemically to me. My wife and daughter liked the smell though, so your mileage my vary. I'm glad I tried it, but it wasn't for me.

Paladin Black Cherry works well for my taste. Smoke it nice and easy in a well seasoned briar pipe and it can reward you with a sweet, spicy flavor for most of the bowl while offering a solid tobacco taste overall. Definite cherry flavor. Smoke it in a "tired" pipe or smoke it too hard, it can be a bit harsh. I like it best in a briar pipe rather than a corncob. Good room note and not hard on the wallet. I plan to buy a 12-oz. can and use Paladin on a regular basis right along with my Carter Hall. K.H. LaCrosse, WI

Paladin Dark Cherry pipe tobacco not only taste good, it smells great. Great price, and fast delivery !!

Some have said it tastes too strong, but I like the cherry of Paladin! To me it resembles the marinated cherries in Breyer's cherry-vanilla ice cream. It's one of my first pipe-smokes, back when I was 18, and sometimes I get a hankering for the taste. Sure glad I can find it at P&C!

Everything was excellent.

As some of the other reviews state, it's not an aggressive cherry taste and is pretty smooth. I let mine dry out a little and it smokes great.

Cherry smokers should love this. It is very heavy on the cherry. It smokes smooth and burns well.

My order was processed quickly and delivered ahead of schedule.
