  1. Dave Moore –

    This is my all day smoke… blended to perfection with awesome flavor, mild strength and a satisfying room note. This is the Goldilocks tobacco for sure!

  2. John –

    This tobacco is second to none. If I could only smoke one tobacco from this point forward it would be Cherokee. I started smoking it over forty years ago when I was asked by my father to stop by the old downtown shop to pick up a pound for him. I didn’t think he would miss a couple of bowls, so I helped myself. I loved it from the first bowl full. Off and on through the years he would share it with me and I would buy a few ounces here and there. I continue to buy it today. It is amazing that after 40 years I keep coming back to this satisfying blend. If you haven’t tried it, you should. It never bites, it is very satisfying and the room note is fabulous.

    I’m not a tobacco guy, I love my pipes and smoke them once in a while because that’s what they’re made for. However this tobacco is absolutely amazing, it’s always been in my rotation and always will be.
    The room note is awesome and the taste isn’t overbearing, it’s The perfect aromatic.

  4. Josh (verified owner) –

    This has turned into my daily smoking tobacco. Smooth sweet flavor, never overpowering! I’m a beginner when it comes to pipe smoking but Country Squire blends have not disappointed. No tongue bite and a pleasant aroma. Sit on your porch add some Cherokee in your pipe and enjoy this signature blend!

  5. Brent marsh –

    Love this. Stays lit and is a mild smoke with good flavor.

  6. Noah Richardson –

    If smoothness comes from on proper casing then someone knows what their doing.
    Smooth, tasty, and a classic!

  7. gpgarrison (verified owner) –

    This has become my favorite aromatic and maybe one of my favorites overall. It’s so smooth and smokes great and has a wonderful room note. If this was the only blend that was available, I would be perfectly fine with that.

  8. Michael Spawn (verified owner) –

    Delicious flavorful blend that I often use as sort of a dessert after a great meal. Enjoy

  9. RALPH –

    Started smoking this blend for twelve years now.
    Always my after breakfast blend and goes great with my coffee. Tasty, smells fantastic and my neighbors love the aroma.

  10. Mike Wilson –

    Randomly picked an aromatic from the menu when I went to the store, and oh man did I pick right. Cherokee is smooth, cool, flavorful, and has a great room note. Very satisfied and will be buying again.

  11. IB Pockets –

    Cherokee is amazing. Flavor is sweet, no bite, volumes of smoke. Burns down to white powder. Room note is wonderful,a real chick magnet.

  12. Christopher Blake (verified owner) –

    Mild and semi-sweet. Smooth burning all the way to the bottom of the bowl, with a couple relights needed. Great flavor. No bite. Exactly what an all day should be!

  13. Ryan Hall (verified owner) –

    Wow. I have never been a Virginia heavy blend kind of guy, but Cherokee blew me away. This is a surprisingly complex smoke. The Virginias offer a lot of tart and tangy citrus, grass, a hint of dark fruit, with a touch of earth. There is just a hint of nougat sweetness, but not nearly as nougaty as Old Toby. There is also some black cavendish adds some toasty sweetness in the back of this train.

    The creamy nougat compliments nicely., There is a touch of honey or something, but it’s hidden by the nougat.

    The strength is between of mild to medium. Very nice room note. Overall, amazingly smooth and cool. It does not top Old Toby in my book, but it’s a solid second.

  14. Brian (verified owner) –

    My favorite savory aromatic to date tin or not. Much the perfect cross of a medium/full blend that showcases tobacco notes with the smells and mouthfeel of an aromatic. Well done. Can see why this has been an ole stand by at the Squire.

  15. mbratcher6 (verified owner) –

    As being new to smoking a pipe. This tobacco is definitely my favorite blend and is something I smoke daily. No tongue bite at all. It’s very smooth and seems like the perfect blend for me. The Country Squire is definitely my favorite place to order from.

  16. PaPiper (verified owner) –

    A wonderul full flavored aromatic with no bite, no burn issues, just plenty of wonderful flavor and really showcases the tobaccos. It is a great aromatic for the beginner and the advanced.

  17. themadhatterteareview (verified owner) –

    This will definitely be a blend I’ll bulk buy in the coming few weeks, after I smoke down the samples from my previous purchase. This will be the blend to smoke at least 2-3 times per week. I love the layers of flavors and the room note is heavenly.

  18. Chris (verified owner) –

    What a blend excellent taste try it you won’t regret it .

  19. Gracie Hogue (verified owner) –

    I know I’m not going to say anything that hasn’t already been said, but this tobacco is amazing in pretty much every way. Easy to smoke, stays lit, tastes great, and the room note is wonderful. It’s like the doting grandpappy of all pipe tobaccos: it’ll spoil you rotten for anything else.

  20. thatguy1892 –

    This tobacco is dang near perfect! I get a distinct coconut bag note and taste. Like a coconut cookie. First two thirds of the bowl has that sweet cookie taste, then the Virginia really shines toward the bottom of the bowl. I keep this one in rotation with Choctaw and Cherokee.

  21. tdbraswell (verified owner) –

    Bought this based on these reviews and am well pleased with the purchase. it’s a very nice change from the Cowboy and Faulkner that I’m usually smoking. Had forgotten I had it until this morning loading up my pocket jars for work and was I ever glad I found it after a couple of months in the mason jar it is even smoother than I remembered.

  22. fuzzyriffs (verified owner) –

    I haven’t stopped smoking this stuff since I tried it. It smells and tastes delicious. The aroma out of the jar reminds me of Dr. Pepper.

  23. Zach Barlee –

    I don’t like aros too much. More of a cigar leaf / Burley dude. But as an aro goes, this is one of the best. Been sitting on few jars since 22. Going to put 4 oz through my rack of cobs all summer until it’s gone. So far it’s a winner and surprisingly complex. An all day smoke. If I had one wish, it would be for the Squire to cook up a good solid non-aro codger Burley with a little cigar leaf. Then I’d never need to order from anyone else ever again. Blessings to the whole team.

    Tried to review this the other day, clicked on the wrong product. This is very good. Enjoy it much!

  25. krajune0304 (verified owner) –

    I only just started smoking this blend. I have smoked 4 bowls out of 4 different pipes and all have been great! This blend burns very well and I haven’t had to relight a bowl more than once. This is a mellow blend that has just the right amount of sweetness. I think I just found the daily smoke that I’ve been searching for. Country Squire has not disappointed yet.

  26. Alexander gennaro (verified owner) –

    I have to say if anything happened to john where he couldn’t mix this anymore my pipe smoking journey would be over, this stuff to me is that good !

  27. csacord (verified owner) –

    Why chase tins? Every blend I have ordered and smoked has been the best smoke yet! Cherokee is no exception! Being a new pipe smoker, this blend is very kind. As are all the others I have tried so far. Think I’ll just sit back and smoke through the Country Squire catalog.
