What is in it?
This is an aromatic blend with cherry flavor

Cavendish: You will find quite a bit of black Cavendish present.
 
What does it smoke like?
Blood Red Moon is a full aromatic pipe tobacco.  The taste of the tobacco is not entirely overwhelmed by the topping, but rather combines into one flavor.  I taste very sweet cherry, and dark chocolate.  The flavor is similar to eating a cherry cordial, but there is a bread like toasty taste that has to be the Burley and Virginia.  For a full aromatic, I noticed no tongue bite.  The tobacco left no dottle, but there was some moisture in the bowl.  The next bowl of whatever you have in the same pipe may have a ghost of cherry flavor.
 
How to prepare it?
Aromatic pipe tobacco is very sensitive to preparation.  Take one bowl's worth out of the tin and let it dry in the air for at least half an hour.  When the tobacco is no longer moist/sticky you are ready to pack.  Use a light hand while packing the bowl.  A two step pack is better than a three step pack for this blend.  If it won't stay lit, use a tamper to tighten the pack a bit.  Don't smash it in since it is very difficult to loosen the tobacco again.  You should have no trouble drawing air thru the pipe.  Smoke with a controlled, slow cadence for maximum flavor.

    Not For Me

    Posted by Unknown on 15th May 2019

    I found this tobacco to be a little too sweet for me in both smell and taste. I honestly think it’s a personal opinion and not a quality issue, so I didn’t want to give it a 1 star. I think the packaging, label, logo, and everything is on point, just didn't match up with my tastes. Maybe I’ll give it another try eventually.

    So Sweet and Easy

    Posted by Joe on 11th May 2019

    I'm a little late to the party as this has been on my must-try list for a long long time. I considered this blend as kind of a sweet-tooth thing and we all know the sweet tooth nerve is not always pinging. Well, it was pinging tonight and I cracked my first can of this excellent tobacco. I am in no way well versed in the subtleties but I pay attention and I know when I really like what I'm getting out of smoke. This blood red moon has a fantastic cherry chocolate aroma in the can and a similar awesome room note. It has no bite and was great all the way to the bottom of the bowl. It is a sweet aromatic with an easy burn which makes for a very enjoyable smoke. Easily an all day smoke. This is one I will always want to have in stock and I will be back for more.

    smooth and delicious

    Posted by Paul Chappuis on 14th Dec 2018

    I purchased several tins of different tobaccos, I'm trying not to smoke all of this up before I give the others a real chance. But this is definitely my top favorites.
    My first impressions of it:
    First smell is like a rich foreign cherry alcohol with a smooth gentle smoke. Just a hint of spice and a mysterious & delicious cherry room note.
    No tongue bite at all.
    I smoke out on the front porch and my next door neighbors came over after smelling it in the air to see what kind it was. Great tasting for me and a great smell for them I guess.

    I’m a relatively new pipe smoker. This is my fav tobacco so far. Really nice taste. I prefer the flavored stuff. Good cherry taste. Slow slipper.

    goes well with diet pepsi wild cherry.

    New to pipe smoking and been trying different tobaccos. This one stands out with a nice flavor of cherry but not overpowering or not like cold medicine. It does burn a little hot.
