Century USA Black C (B-23) (Black Cherry) Pipe Tobacco (Loose)

Date Added: Thursday 20 February, 2020 by Calum

This is what I’d call our “Classic” black cherry blend. It has a nicely varied base consisting of Virginias, Burley and Cavendish. The cherry flavouring definitely takes the forefront of the taste, but that’s not to say it totally overrides the taste of the tobacco; the slightly sweet Virginia and toasty Cavendish do occasionally poke their heads through the flavouring. If you’re looking to try out cherry blends, this is a great place to start.

In fairness I should point out I am not a fan of aromatics but occasionally try one on the recommendation of an experienced pipe smoking friend. It smells good in the packet but is moist to the point of wetness. Perhaps I should have let it dry out but was eager to try it so filled the bowl and tried to light it. I went through half a box of matches before I got to the end of the gloopy stuff. The topping was overwhelming and far from pleasant - tongue bite severe. All in all a gruesome experience... unless you happen to be a masochist. Of course I recognise that we are all different and this might be right up your alley. I can only say it wasn't up mine.

This tobacco is delicious! It's very aromatic but no way is it a bad aromatic. The tobacco itself is sticky but understandably, make sure you pack this one lightly and have some proper time to re-light a few times (it doesn't take many don't worry) The taste of the cherries is strong and powerful yet a very natural taste, not that preservative taste you get with some tobaccos. This blend is light, the tobacco doesn't power over it, great for new pipe smokers and for someone who's not looking for alot of nicotine in their smoke.
