Domingo – Cherry

My sister has been away on holiday and lucky she got me some good gifts. Domingo Cherry, Domingo Virgina & Djembe Golden Blend. First i delved into the Domingo, but i wasn’t that keen to i cracked Domingo Cherry. I have had the Negro and Original Blend in the past and there both a Dutch style, the Original very much like Drum, Samson, Look Out etc. The Negro was a dark and very strong, fire cured Dutch blend. The Cherry looks a lot like the Original with a very light but sweet cherry flavour. Not as much flavourings as the Kendal tobaccos, but there’s enough there to be noticeable. I cant find any info out on line about this tobacco online. The cut is fine with a few bits of stem but no shag cut, all fine cut.

The tobacco is at an ideal moisture content, dry enough to burn freely but moist enough to be cool and smooth. It rolls easily and burns freely. The cherry flavours are there but subtly. The tobacco has a good amount of nicotine but is smooth and an easy draw.  The added cherry flavours grew a little as the roll up progressed, with an added increase heat in the smoke. By the end the cherry became a little bitter and i could barley taste the tobacco.

Overall Domingo is a cheap low grade rolling tobacco, but the added cherry flavours gave the blend a little more to it. The added cherry went from subtle to sweet to bitter, all in a good range. Would be much nicer on a Golden, Virginia & Turkish blend. Will probably cutting this in with future mixes.
