never tried the pimento wood... but thats aobut the third time I heard it with the jerk talk. Im a mesquite guy being from texas its FREE.. and I know its strong smoke flavor, but since I dont have a woodburner smoker, I can regulate how much said wood gets burned.. Ill keep an eye out for pimento. when I think of pimento, for some reason I think of like a nice subtle smoke like advocado.... 
 
I have a buddy from Jamaica and he says smoked jerk chicken with the pimento wood can't be beat. I tried to get a recipe from him but that's like getting my grandmas tomato sauce recipe haha. Pimento is what the Jamaicans call all-spice so my assumption is that it's a milder smoke than say mesquite, but probably very distinctive. Out here I can only get what's available at Home Depot and Walmart as far as wood is concerned so if I can't find the pimento, I might just have to settle for mesquite or hickory and just pretend its the real deal haha
 
You can sprinkle allspice berries over your coals or there is pimento wood online BUT it's spendy. 50/50 cherry and hickory is good.
