Cherry blends

I have a cherry blend that I made from MANY blends all mixed up and added some straight burley for body..works out very well!

Mine is the formula called " By Guess and By Golly!"

Cult blood red moon is good and normally I don't like aromatics

G&H Top Black Cherry made me feel ill. Perfumey, harsh, and not to my liking. Short jump across a cross stream for me to believe it's not their best stuff but many others like it; consequently, my assumption is it simply doesn't agree with my palate.

No, but now I have to explain. Aren't you sorry you asked?
When I was a meat and cheese peddler back in the 80's, I used to make sales calls every evening.  The customer would give me their order and after each item I would say, "Okie doke." I might have said it twenty times in one call.
Marriage: Xuan's English was not the best. 2AM in the morning she wakes me up asking, "What's tanoky, honey?" First, you don't wake me up. Second, don't expect anything but pure BS out of me when I am awake, even more when I am half awake.
Frustrated, she finally said I used the word dozens of times a day when I made business calls. I would say, Tanoky, tanoky.
I figured out what she meant and we have been on a thirty year odyssey of going through all the variations of okie doke. Oky fanoky, okie dokie smokie, etc.

I'm still pissed about being woken up  

starting out pipe smoking i was advised to try go with Carter Hall, Half and Half, and Prince Albert or SWR. I tried Carter Hall, didn't care for it much. Of course, I was starting out so I wasn't getting good flavor anyway with smoking a little fast, charring the tobacco, etc. things I know about now and have fixed. So my next try was Captain Black Gold, which wasn't bad, and then they had cherry. A fruit flavor really appealed to me, and it was VERY cherry-ie so that was my go to at the time. Never had tongue bite issues from it after I got my cadence worked out. I was gifted a tin of BRM just a month after starting pipe smoking, and that was very good. I did get Paladin Black Cherry and I can't stand that stuff. It smells like playdoh and tastes worse. CB Red Sky is very good, a slightly more complex cherry than the straight CB Cherry, and then there is CAO Cherry Bomb, which is kind of like CB Cherry (as far as the intensity of cherry flavor) with some vanilla-y black cav. I just discovered, though Seattle Pipe Club's Narrows Bridge, which is another good cherry. Never had tongue bit issues with any of them.

According to TR (which is sometimes wrong, of course), TK-6 is Burley and Cavendish + cherry; while BRM also has VA and chocolate flavoring.  I have a tin of BRM but haven't tried it yet.  TK-6 is okay, but definitely no chocolate.

Blood Red Moon here - no reason to try any others as I find it is a good cherry smoke.

I used to like BRM, but I seem to have lost my taste for it. Note that it doesn't have the word "cherry" in it. I like cherries. I ate 1 1/2 lbs last week in one sitting. Someone should have stopped me!

Cherry is totally hit and miss for me.

I have a warm place in my heart for cherry blends. Smoked them when I was starting out and didn't know much about the different blends and the components that make them up. The ones I occasionally enjoy are Captain Black Cherry and GH Top Black Cherry. I recently bought some Lane TK-6 and am impressed with it.

Yeah, I am surprised too. I expect a negative result. To me, M79 Cherry is a good starting point for a horror movie.

I never understood the idea that cherry specifically would any more bitey than any other aro.  Surely it must have to do with the tobacco itself, not the topping?  I'm guessing stuff like Paladin and CB gave cherry a bad name.
