OMG! The best black licorice ever!

Okay, lets start with appearance; the bottoms of each container are marked either Red or Black, the tops however only state Red. Guess they ran out of Black lids. After opening the tubes, after all they are tubes with tube tops, anyway, they are cut into nice sized pieces. The red are Red, the Black are brown. Now, taste, I remember black licorice (haven't had black licorice in a very long time) as being very hard to accept based on the harsh flavor. I have just gone with red licorice all these years. But, I decided to try black licorice again. Couldn't find any in any stores so went to Amazon. I didn't want the standard chemical factory brew, wanted something as close to a true licorice. So I found these and decided to give them a try. The Red is supposed to be Strawberry. Okay, there is a sort of artificial berry taste, strawberry, okay, it isn't bad, just not as pronounced as I was expecting. Now, the Black, which I was preparing myself for was actually mild. It is quite pleasant to consumer, nothing like the bitter black licorice I remember from the stone age era. I like them both. Not sure how long they will stay fresh in the tubes they come in since the tubes don't actually seal them. If you consume candies rather quickly then that is not going to be an issue, but I eat maybe one or two pieces a day if that so I may have to put them into sealable container to keep them from drying out and getting hard. I do like them though.

Do not buy this! I bought it for Mother’s Day, it was hard as a BRICK. Couldn’t even bite it! Inedible. But since it’s a food product, could not get my money back. So $32 out the window for very overpriced licorice. Wish I could give 0 stars. Don’t take the chance.

Ok, thanks to this, I'm never gonna be a skinny guy. I don't go around ranking candy, but i will say, this is the best licorice I've had the pleasure of enjoying. It's kind of pricey, but worth it.

This is honestly the best tasting licorice I’ve had since I was a kid and things were made with pride. However, I have no idea what makes sugar, flour, gelatin and flavoring so expensive. Good thing it costs so much for so little though, or I would be fat from eating it. I won’t buy it again at this price.

Very VERY good...so much better then store bought ..freshness, and tatse are Excellent.

It's good licorice, but not ground breaking. The fruit flavors are great, but the black licorice, is just not strong enough, and just comes off like molasses. If you like fruit flavored licorice, you'll like this, but if you like black licorice, just go with the king: Scottie dogs. I figured a licorice prioritizing brand would have the highest quality black licorice and gave it a shot, but it tastes like the stuff I can buy at dollar general. Won't buy again, but will share with family.

Yum! Fresh…
