Started smoking a bowl of this in my new pipe and I've got to say it is a pretty easy going aromatic. My initial reaction was that it tasted like a cherry Dr. Pepper. It's a nice little smoke if you like aromatics and it hasn't had any bite that I've been able to find. Didn't give it any dry time out of the tin because it didn't seem very wet, hasn't been an issue so far. This will definitely be a blend I revisit. Special thanks to Cigrmaster for the recommendation.

beard, I am very glad to hear you are enjoying it. I also smoke it right out of the tin with no drying.

it is out of stock due to popularity, not scarcity. It's a solid choice, glad you are enjoying it. One of the most successful blendings of chocolate that I have encountered

I hope my order gets through UK customs so I can check it out for myself.

they ONLY have cherry Dr. Pepper in N. Ireland...Is there another flavour?
Edit: They do have other drinks, but in Dr. Pepper, it's only cherry.

I have been stocking up on this blend because of the FDA deeming rules. This blend is on the chopping block if the FDA has it's way in 2021.

I recently tried it for the first time. Thought that it was pretty good, with a nice flavor balance, not to heavy on the flavors, like some others.

when I first opened the box I thought this would be a gloopy, sickeningly sweet blend but was pleasantly surprised to find that it was not overpowering at all.

I just ordered Abacus, Anonymous, Blood Red Moon, Conspiracy and Profile, all come highly recommended, so looking forward to trying them, looking for a replacement brand for McClelland and I am hoping Cult is it!

Abacus and Conspiracy are the only Cult I've tried, and both are seriously addictive. I don't know about a replacement for McC, though - blending style is totally different. I'd say Sutliff is closer. |

Also, my goal is to find some decent alternatives whilst I can buy at a low cost, unlike the crazyness currently with McClellands!

I can promise you that the ingredient list is wrong. Several years ago the president of the company signed a sworn statement that there's no prune juice in DP. It's a unique flavor. |

It's strange, though, that the Dr Pepper recipe is supposed to be this great big secret, yet there are numerous "matches". It's also strange that there's no Dr Pepper aro, not to mention root beer and cola! I'd try 'em. |

Im sure theres a root beer aro, I'll be damned if I remember what or who makes it though. I also have some knowledge of a blend that uses dr pepper as a casing, and it's damn good.

I have some cherry cola tic-tacs that I have found go well with a couple of blends that I accidentally mixed. I guess you could use Coca Cola syrup for a topped on some through away blend. Shouldn't take much. |

I don't know how they do it, but the Germans can impart a sense of carbonization to a blend. Last years K&K Fraternity limited edition with Champagne and Vauen Bavarian Blend with beer components (hops and malt) being a couple of examples.
