Always wanted to try the Red, as I love all things Cherry. Even the Robtussen flavored stuff. The cough syrup cherry, I like it all.

I think the 7 Seas Black is also excellent. I’ve only had Black and Gold.
Damn , I could have brought red with me on this trip and traded some red for gold
John lets just do a traditional trade through the mail. I’ll see what I got I can throw in as well. Is there a Cherry Blend thread?

When I first thought 7 seas was made to mimic CB .. I was let down . But , that not being the case , the ones Ive had have been very good as their own blend . I like that its available in bulk too . I buy the red in 8 oz quantity , which for me is a larger quantity . I buy MBGE in a pound bag and thats the only one I buy in a pound quantity , red being the next largest quantity . Really SPBC too , which is in a 12 oz bag and I love that stuff

Seven Seas Red and SPBC mixed is out of sight , imho . Depending on what ratio , its a comb that works in any combination of mix . I think Ive tried it in ever comb I could think of and its always exceptional
Sounds like that mix might be similar to the Codger Cherry mix I do up with LC Cherry and LC Vanilla. That's pretty good, too.

What is the breakdown on these blends?

I know the red is cherry. What are the others supposed to be?

One of them is Royal. I think I know that. I think that is the blue. I don't know what that is supposed to be or what it tastes like.
