Golden Blend's Black Cherry Pipe Tobacco – 50g bag

Golden Blend’s Black Cherry pipe tobacco – 50g bag – is a fruity, sweet aromatic classic for anyone who loves a distinctly noticeable cherry note whilst still wanting a harmonious tobacco base in the background. The blend (often referred to as ‘No. 2 / formerly Black Cherry’) combines hand-selected Virginia, Burley and Black Cavendish tobaccos and is enhanced with the flavour of black cherry. The aroma is inviting the moment you open the packet: sweet, fruity and very ‘smooth’. When smoked in a pipe, the tobacco is pleasantly accessible and uncomplicated – ideal for beginners, but equally suitable as a relaxing, feel-good tobacco for experienced pipe smokers who fancy a clean, aromatic profile every now and then.

Black cherry: fruity sweetness with a creamy smoke

The flavour is centred on black cherry: juicy and fruity, sweet and pleasantly rounded. The tobacco base reliably supports this flavour: Virginia provides a natural underlying sweetness, Burley adds body and a subtle, slightly nutty texture, whilst Black Cavendish makes the smoke noticeably smoother and creamier. Many retailers therefore describe the blend as very fruity and sweet – without it feeling ‘cloying’ when smoked at a leisurely pace. Particularly pleasant: the cherry flavour usually remains present for long stretches, ensuring a consistent, relaxed smoking experience.

Wild Cut: easy to pack, lively, consistent

A real plus is the typical Wild Cut cut: finely cut tobaccos are combined with significantly coarser cuts. This makes the tobacco easy to pack and results in a lively cut that works very well in many pipes. At a leisurely smoking pace, the blend burns evenly and offers a substantial smoke volume. The room note is distinctly fruity and sweet and is often found to be pleasant – a tobacco that can also ‘work well’ in company (provided cherry flavours are generally appreciated).
