Blend Club 2024 | March - Cult Blood Red Moon 

CBRM is one of my favorite aromatics - a cherry, chocolate, vanilla combo that’s not too sweet, and everyone loves the aroma! 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥

THATS A WILD SHIRT MUTTNCHOP!

🐍🐍🐍🐍 I'm admittedly new to pipe smoking. I smoked a pipe for a little while right out of high school when there wasn't anyone around to give advice or guidance like there is now. I kind of enjoyed it but had trouble and then gave it up for the better part of 20 years. I returned to the hoby in February on the encouragement of my wife and I'm trying lots of different tobaccos to see what I like. I greatly enjoy this one and on the advice of hobbiton Piper I have actually gotten a few friends to try a pipe with me using this tobacco. I'm curious to see if I continue to enjoy it or if I find other things I was really excited to see you review it.

🍒🍒🍒 Finally got around to trying this one-I've been procrastinating. I've been sitting on a tin of this for nearly two years because, even though it had been recommended by a few people, I couldn't get past the sickly sweet smell out of the tin. As you can imagine, I didn’t expect to like this one, especially since I don’t typically enjoy aromatics, but I liked this one quite a lot. I picked up a lot more cherry than chocolate, but the chocolate was definitely there in the background. I’d smoke it again if I were in the right mood, and it's at top of the list of the aromatics I've tried. Like Muttnchop, I'd give it 🍒🍒🍒🍒 if aromatics were my thing.

🍒🍒🍒🍒🍒 Easily one of my favorite aromatics. Always perfect moisture, easy to pack, easy to light and keep lit, tastes great and smells even better! This is one of the tobaccos that kept me coming back to my pipe when I first started out and was struggling to learn the art.

I love this blend. Then again i love cherry flavors. I just love your videos. Would you consider mentioning what pipe you are using in them?

🎉🎉🎉🎉 Opened my first tin just two days ago. Like you I was afraid that I’d find overwhelming artificial cherry, super sweet and a one and done. What I found was the best aromatic I’ve tried so far. My best taste analogy is high quality chocolate covered perfectly ripe Queen Anne cherries, not too sweet, not too tart, very Goldilocks in flavor. Smoked cool throughout the bowl, moisture level was perfect for me too, kept a light and burned to a fine ash with virtually no dottle. Exceeded all expectations and will be part of my regular rotation. MM Cobbit

One of few where the aroma actually carries into the taste. Seersucker from The Country Squire is also another worth trying.

🍒🍒🍒🍒🍒 Loved this one. Smooth, cool, easy smoke in my big old Ropp pipe. Loved the balance of cherry and chocolate - and my wife even remarked on the pleasant smell! Thanks Muttnchop !

This is a true pipe smokers channel that provides a tremendous amount of useful information. Thanks 😊

🎉🎉🎉🎉 one of my favorite aromatics, has a place in my rotation when I was a change up from the English/VAPer blends!

🍁🍁 Blood red moon is one of those blends that I wish I loved. The tin note and smoke both give me more cherry than chocolate and no matter how I smoke it, I always end up with more tongue bite than other blends (even aromatics) give me. If i really wanted a pipe and that was my only option, I'd still smoke it but it's definitely not really in my rotation.

I bought a tin of this last year and have been looking forward to trying it now that the weather is getting nicer. I was also put off by an over cherry cavendish I bought when I first started smoking last year but was very hopeful I'd like this a bit better based on some reviews I've seen out there. This review might just do it for me. Thank you Muttnchop!

🍒🍒🍒🍫🍫 In the beginning times I used to buy my drugstore brand tobacco from Eckerd’s- in the days before tobacco was canceled they had a whole aisle advertised as the “tobacco place”- one of my first pipe tobacco was Middletons cherry blend smoked from a Dr.Grabow Duke pipe…I enjoyed it- the burley and Virginia masked much of the cherry flavor-next cherry blend was Boswell’s and I thought that was the cherry blend to beat but CBRM with cavendish is truly delightful- excellent room notes flavor and all around enjoyable. I went through this tin entirely too fast.

Thoroughly enjoy your videos! Tried this the other day while fishing. Good times! Happy Easter!

⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️ I like it, tastes just like a red tootsie roll pop when you reach the center.

😎😎😎😎😎 I’m not a cherry tobacco lover but this is sublime and made my top 10 of all blends list. Very well balanced and smooth. Zero bite. The flavors are indeed tasty and the room note pleasant. I’ll be interested in what others take on this one is.

😊😊😊😊😊I as well had been turned off of cherry blends especially Borkim Riff ans CB. Too fruity with alot of tongue bite. Been smoking this blend couple years now. Love it. Glad you reviewed it. Love your channel! Respect always-

This is one of my favorite tobaccos. Has been for years now. Glad to see you doing a video on this blend.

🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 favorite aromatic hands down ! No bite at all

I like the new digital background

I just tried it for the first time this weekend, and I thought the cherry was going to be way stronger than it was. The chocolate really comes through for me. It really is a fantastic aromatic tobacco blend. Thanks Muttenchop.

I just got my first tin of this a few days back. First tobacco I have had since getting into piping that didn’t have bite. Which is amazing, I bought a handful of tobaccos to find a get set to rotate. Glad you didn’t hate it!

CBRM I like this blend. The cherry flavor pleasant for me. I like the creamy chocolate note. I like that it smokes smooth with no real tongue bite unless I puff it hard. Otherwise it’s a pleasant smoking experience 👍👍👍.5

Not much of an aromatic smoker but thats 1 of my top favs. Not goopy like Capt Black Cherry or dry smoke like Kendal Black Cherry. Good stuff if you ask me.

🍒🍒🍒🍒🍒 - This and Lane Very do head to head battles on my favorite cherry blend. I think this is a bit mellower and my wife actually will sit outside with me and enjoy the aroma on this one as well. Moisture out of 3 tins I have purchased has been great out of the tin. The flavor is very consistent amongst the 3 I had. It is one I keep in a much bigger mason jar and make sure I have it on hand at all times. Burns fairly cool and a great sipping tobacco especially combined with a Sonic Cherry Limeade. The drink doesn't make the tobacco better, but the tobacco makes the drink cherry really stand out crisp.

This is one of my favorite blends 🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿

🍒🍒🍒🍒 Always nice to be pleasantly surprised by one you might not necessarily like than one you expect to but don’t! So this is a beautifully done aromatic. I was looking forward to trying it. While I am not wild about cherry myself, it is not overbearing as Muttnchop said, which is the upside. Then the chocolate aspect from the burley/cavendish just compliments it perfectly. Smooth as can be though. Only reason for me not to give a 5 is that cherry is not my favorite of flavors, but I do like it. Enjoy!

Good to see you Muttnchop (the man who taught me how to smoke a pipe)! Cult Blood Red Moon smells just like a cherry Tootsie Roll lollipop! You definitely get an even notes of chocolate and cherry. Despite the sweet tin notes, in my experience, it cannot be smoked inside as it is extremely strong. But that doesn't mean it stinks. It's just very full bodied for an aromatic! Also, it has wayyy too much tongue bite! I have two tins of this stuff. I'll smoke it again one day, but I won't forget to take it slow. Thank you for doing this review! 🍒🍒🍒

❤❤❤❤As a aromatic person this is very easy to smoke. Did have to relight a couple times but the strong tin note you don’t actually taste anything strong. I taste more cherry than chocolate but still learning how to “taste” pipe tobacco.

Such a huge fan! Where would you suggest ordering pipe tobacco offline?

Been wanting to try it but living in Canada it is hard to find. Btw love your shirt....reminds me of Lord of the Rings

Thanks for the review! Would you say this is a good one to try for a beginner that likes aromatics?

Perfect combination of chocolate and cherry, I think. Love the way the smoke seemed to go out the chimney when you lit your pipe!

I've tried quite a few Cherry Tobacco flavours. This is by far the best on I have tried. I plan on picking this one up in the future for repeat experience. 🌸🌸🌸🌸

Late to the video, but I have a Savinelli VIGNA 804 dedicated to only CBRM. This and what used to be “Old Toby” from Country Squire are my all time favorites. 🍒🍒🍒🍒

Not much of an Aro fan. There are a few I enjoy. Bob’s Chocolate Flake being #1. I’ve been wanting to try a cherry then this video came up and I remembered that 18-20 years ago I stashed a unopened pouch of, don’t laugh, Dutch Masters cherry cavendish, the smell reaked to hell and back so I stashed and forgot it. So today I dug it up from its grave and it still smells to high hell but I decided to try it in my less than favorite cob. Taste is actually kind of mild and can’t tell if I like it or can just tolerate it yet but interesting enough for me to try and remember to pick up some blm with next order. Thanks

Pretty new to pipes but heard great things and it was on sale so I picked up a tin. I would give it a 😊😊😊😊

Haven't tried this one yet. Usually don't like cherry tobaccos either, but one i do like is Dark Fired Cherry by Ken Byron Ventured

I will definitely try. And thank you for a great pipe tobacco review and your Knowledge.

💥💥💥💥 I give it four, taking off one star for it's slight tendency to bite. It tastes great, so if you are a chuffer like me, you got to remember to pull it back just a bit or it will nip you

The tin note from this one is quite off putting to me. It smells artificial. Sweeteners are something that I have to pay particularly close attention to because the commonly used ones give me various allergic reactions. Sutliff in particular won't disclose what they use to sweeten their aromatics. When I contacted them and asked, the reply was simple: "Our aromatic tobacco products might not be for you." I appreciated their response. As an aside, aromatics weren't high on my list until I tried Boswell's Black Cherry. The tin note and room note is quite pleasant, reminiscent of a cherry cordial candy. The flavor appeals to me as well. It's my wife's favorite "beard note"... after a bowl of Boswell's Black Cherry I am the beneficiary of a long, snuggly hug. Any blends that my wife likes are in my permanent rotation.

With the caveat that I'm not much of an aromatic smoker, I'd rate this 🌸🌸🌸🌸 4/5 For an aromatic it's good. The only reason I don't give it more is, like you, I don't like cherry

One of my favorites but im bias due to it being my 1st tobacco i bought 2 years ago. I picked it due to it being the top tobacco at the time at pipes and cigars

I really enjoy this one. I get a good bit of the cocoa. The cherry takes a backseat for me. I get no vanilla. Def worth trying the room note for me is all sweet cherry

Very interesting that you should review this as an eclipse is due. Also i didnt know you had a tattoo os that from your service in the military?

🇧🇻 🇧🇻 🇧🇻 .5 I'm not the biggest fan of cherry either but I do like this blend. I find myself reaching for it in-between boughts with other blends for a change up and to keep temperance alive. Nice creamy smoke for a score of 3.5

🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠 My Favorite blend.

🍒🍫🍒🍫🍒 Top 5 aromatics

♦️♦️♦️♦️.5 very enjoyable. As others have said the scent comes through in the smoke. Reminds me a little bit of Black Forest cake which is a fave of mine as well. Really good balance and really good mechanics as well. Moisture content right on burns Even and very few relights.

😊😊😊. Burns well and smokes easily. Little harsh on the tongue bite but not enough that would prevent me from smoking this blend. Just not my blend profile

Love the review, love your channel. Keep it up !

What pipe are you using today? Nice blend.😊

This one smells amazing!

🍔🍔🍔 I like the cherry flavor in this blend, but it becomes too sweet for me to smoke a whole bowl. I like to put a layer of BRM on top with another blend in the bottom half of the bowl.

☕☕☕ I think it's a good middle of the road cherry tobacco. Not overly strong and nice aroma.

Happy Easter

You pack that pipe like a boss! Lol I’ve only been smoking a year but still struggle to pack it just right

🐼🐼🐼: True to description. I'm not a partial to cherry either.

Love the stuff!!

What’s the main place everyone gets there tabaccer? Choices are super super limited in New England

mr mutton chops im looking for a pipe like you use ..where can i find one

Thanks

I had great expectations but only got disappointed by its cherry medicine-like aroma and lack of toacco taste. No chocolate either. 4nog's aromatics are just way superior imo and cost a fraction of the price.

😎😎😎 This stuff can ghost your pipe, Premium Cherry Cavendish, I find it's best to have a pipe dedicated to Cherry blends

I have to try it

👻👻 - I’ll preface, relatively new (returning) pipe smoker and first blend club participation but really didn’t care for this one. Tin note was ok, but while smoking only warm slightly chocolate taste smoke. Maybe I need more dry time, and will finish the tin to see if it grows on me

I just started piping in mid Jan. 2024. I gathered up numerous blends, including 8 cherry blends. One day I thought "why did I get so many Cherry blends to try when I don't know if I even like it?" So for two days I tried seven of the eight, because CULT - Blood Red Moon hadn't yet arrived. As I began sampling them I discovered I really do not like any of them. With the exception of Missouri Meerschaum's Great Dane being tolerable. But it isn't a full cherry blend. For it is said to be topped with: black cherries, vanilla, and caramel...and it needs drying. In fact, my 7oz tub of Paladin went into the trash. A few were slightly tolerable so I decided to hold on to those and try at a later date: Sillem's Red and P. Stokkebye's PS3 aren't too awful. So with that experience, and CULT - BRM arriving, I am hesitant to even crack one open. I just realized I haven't tried my 'Mac Baren: 7 Seas Red' yet as well. I went overboard with 8oz of each: PS3 and 7 Seas Red. If I hate those...there's a lesson to be learned; stop buying large amounts at first. So anyway, I am interested in your honest review today. What I have learned, since mid-January, is aromatics are seemingly more for those around the one enduring the smoking of them. They rarely give me any pleasure yet, but I do have a number of other aromatics to try still that are supposed to be very good. The latest arrival being two 3.5oz tins of Sillem's: Linea Epoque Antique.

😍😍😍😍

✌🏻❤

💩out of 5. I suppose this should be predicated with "I'm mainly a non-aromatic guy." I tried this one last year, and it wasn't my thing. I think it's mainly the cherry flavor. I found the flavoring to be unpleasant and overpowering. It ghosted my aromatic pipe worse than any other aromatic blend I've ever tried. It took 6-7 bowls of Autumn Evening before you couldn't taste the BRM anymore.

Typo on the thumbnail fyi.

I’m with you Mutton Chop Cherry and Maple have no place in my pop tobacco 😊but to each there own 😉

🥵 Did not like this one at all. I'm pretty meh about most aromatics, but this one tastes like a cross between cough syrup, chemicals, and vague tobacco taste. So far I've found exactly three aro's that I can smoke: C&D John Marr, GLP Virginia Cream, and Sillem's Black. That's about it.

🐒 I'm giving this one a One Monkey review. Mostly because I don't like aromatic or flavored tobacco of any kind and No. 2, I got talked into trying it once and genuinely didn't like it. Very wet, no tobacco flavors at all. Why smoke tobacco if you can't taste it? Just not for me.

🤮. The best thing about this blend is the tin art. That being said…. The tin note is wonderful. It reminds me of a cherry tootsie pop. The moisture level was perfect. I’m just not a fan of the blends flavor once lit. The chocolate really comes through and it’s not too bad, but the cherry flavor just does nothing for me. This would be a great one for fans of cherry, but to me it just didn’t live up to the hype. Happy smoking everyone! See ya in the comments on the next one 🤪

😑😑😑 I Dig Clut okay!!!!

Didn’t care for this blend. Reminded me of skoal straight

😀😀😀/5 Pros: Excellent taste for fans of sweet aromatics. Perfect mixture of chocolate and cherry. Perfect moisture level. Easy to pack. Excellent aroma! Cons: The sweetness occasionally borders on syrupy and the cherry can be a bit intense for beginners..definitely not for the casual cherry connoisseur. Can be difficult to light and requires occasional re-lights. Overall, a good blend for those fans of cherry aromatics..and an enjoyable blend for the occasional dabbler looking for something sweet.

😑😑😑 I dont like aromatics so i have a heavy bias, but for kicks i tried it. I liked this blend for a few smokes, HUGE sweet chocolate/cherry flavor, not like smoking hot steam like most aro's, but still not full bodied. sweet room note, But it is still the typical thick, goopy, super heavy cased aromatic. Oh, and talk about ghosting a pipe, this is all you will taste in that pipe till the end of time, seriously. Choose your pipe wisely.

Bought a ton of aros including Blood Red Moon. CBRM is ok I'm more an English enjoyer.

Hey… I’ve never tried this one… but if Muttnchop try in a video I think it’s the bet moment to try too…
