With Cult tins getting harder and harder to find, what are some viable alternatives for BRM?

I've never smoked a cherry as smooth as the Cult BRM. I had a sample of Dutch Masters Cherry that was good, but not the same

I've gotta say the same as Ron here, but I have heard that Celtic Talisman by SG is a good alternative. I've a tin yet to pop, but i don't think anything will come close to that Dr Pepper flavour.

Any idea why it's getting hard to find?

I think my local B&M might have a tin of one of the Cult blends, just do not remember which, going to try and get down there in next day or so. They also carry a lot of the Sutliff bulk blends, so I will see if they have a cherry or chocolate one of those as well
I am also thinking that Lane Dark Red or Boswell's Dutch Treat might be in the same wheelhouse
The more I think on it, I might pull the trigger on the Boswell Aro sampler, if i can get them to replace the raspberry

I'm assuming Illinois has excise tax. Maryland started that crap this year. 20+%. It's brutal. |

Thanks! I picked up 2 tins. It ran $12.75/tin for me. Just sales tax added. EDIT I just looked at the invoice. No tax, just shipping. |

I don't smoke it very often, but this thread inspired me to do so on my morning walk. I haven't had anything else that quite hits that dark chocolate cherry note.

As you know, I haven't tried Cult. How different is it so I know? It's basically like any other OTC cherry, maybe a little richer. It's not the worst by a long shot, but BRM is a lot better. |
