Milan Tobacconists Cherry Bon Bon:
In my early piping years, I was constantly in search of the best cherry pipe tobacco. Caution was the key word when trying a new blend because they might be either goopy, chemical-tasting, or bitey. This blend has a wholesome, organic taste to it; no hint of chemicals or cough syrup, like some cherry blends. It tastes kind of like devils food cake with cherry topping and whipped cream. Another thing about the cherry/chocolate flavoring is that it is very subtle and not too rich. The base is of three different black cavendishes, which are smooth and creamy and will not bite unless pushed. The first time I smoked this, I let it air for 30 minutes and that wasn't quite enough. This time I waited 2 hours and it is smoking well, but I'd suggest even more time than that. Both times I smoked it in Missouri Meerschaums and was impressed with the creamy volume of smoke this tobacco can produce. It has body but is light in terms of nicotine. Both pipe bowls were noticeably dry after smoking and clearing the ashes.
