Drew Estate Heirloom Cherry
Tobacco - This aromatic blend includes Virginia, Burley and Cavendish.
Tin Aroma - When the tin is open it is a blast of straight up cherry cordial. There is no way around this. It makes the fat man in me salivate.
Packing - The packing is very easy. The tobacco is somewhere between a ribbon cut and shag. Its just moist enough and fine enough to pack in my bowl well.
Room Note - Nice light cherry aroma.
Light - The light went well it lit evenly and seems to be getting a nice cherry burn.
Taste - This is the part that threw me a little. When I opened the tin I was smacked in the face with an overwhelming smell of cherry cordial. I was so expecting this to be an in your face aromatic. Its actually extremely well balanced.
The cherry is very light and allows for all the great Virginia and Burley to shine through the blend. I would say this is an aromatic that an English lover could dig into. Its not offensive at the least on the palate and isn't over indulgent. The best thing about Drew Estate is they can make a flavorful tobacco that tastes natural.
The burn is good and only lit my bowl twice and for an aromatic it has no bite to it at all. The tobacco isn't drenched in oil like most aromatics. So in summary; if you like a light aromatic with great quality Virginia, Burley and Cavendish you will love this blend.
Hats off to Michael Cellucci!
