Rollie Tobacco: Black Cherry (6/10)

The Black Cherry rollie tobacco by Gawith and Hoggarth is quite probably the most popular of all the bulk handrolling tobaccos down at the market, and is certainly one of the most popular in the world. Now, my experience has been that nearly everyone who smokes rollies buys that prepackaged stuff- Drum, Golden Virgina etc. but certainly, the flavours of the bulk tobacco cannot be beat.

I am not one who necessarily enjoys sweeter tobaccos, but I enjoyed the black cherry considerably- primarily because it is not nearly as sweet as one might suppose. However, it does have more tar than a plain rollie tobacco like the Burley Flake- about halfway through my rollie, the white paper had turned quite brown. Do not let this put you off though, it didn't taste any more tarry than other rollie tobaccos I have tried. I definitely recommend giving this tobacco a try. First, it's cheaper than Drum and Golden Virgina and all those other prepackaged tobaccos, and has more flavour. Second, non-smokers around whom I was smoking the Black Cherry enjoyed the smell. Don't be the average person who smokes average prepackaged tobaccos- get something new and exiting- it might lead to a conversation with a hottie who likes the smell.
