From Harsh to Heavenly in a Week
July 18, 2026
Product: Cornell & Diehl Opening Night 2oz
Listen, I’m a brand new pipe smoker, so when I cracked my first tin of Cornell & Diehl’s Opening Night, I expected it to either taste like victory or instant regret. My very first smoke was actually a little harsh — I thought I’d already screwed up the hobby. But I let the tin sit for a week, and man, what a difference. It mellowed out and turned into this sweet, smooth Virginia flake that’s nicer than my grandma’s compliments.
The stuff burns clean, hits you with that hay-and-bread vibe, and has just enough tang to remind you it’s real tobacco, not some fruit salad. Even us tadpoles can get through a bowl without looking like total amateurs.
Veterans, if you’re tired of your usual Virginia trying to murder you halfway through, give this one a spin. Would absolutely let it open another night… and probably several after that.
Solid four pipes out of five.

Words won't do it justice. Have to try it.
VS Union Square :)
March 28, 2026
Product: Cornell & Diehl Opening Night 2oz
It is quite similar to Union Square but ... if Union Square is white sugar cane, Opening Night is more brown sugar. Also Opening Night is more peppery, complex and vegetal. I can not say it is better, I also rated Union square at 5 ... but I have a very slight preference for Opening Night (because at the end of the box, after smoking Union Square 2 weeks I was a bit bored to it) In conclusion, I highly recommend. It is just a great virginia. This is the kind of virginia I love when I don't really like virginia like Peterson flake style for example....Read More
Easy everyday smoke
May 02, 2026
Product: Cornell & Diehl Opening Night 2oz
This blend is not loud, it’s not in your face but there is a purity that come with its simplicity. Very Smooth blend with a sort of creaminess to it. Notes of cereal like grape nuts with some sugar sprinkled on top, some very light lemon, hay, and tea. Honey graham crackers I can definitely agree with. And like I said smooth the smoothness is very pleasant. An easy smoke that will definitely be an everyday blend for me from now on....Read More
After All My Experimentation, I May End Up Mostly Just Smoking This
March 09, 2026
Product: Cornell & Diehl Opening Night 2oz
I still love HB Cake. It's a totally different kind of smoke. Opening Night isn't very complex. Near the end, I was getting some interesting raisin and fermented flavors just a little bit. But through most of it, it was sugared, toasted grains. Honey Graham crackers, but luscious and rich, full-bodied, with a smoky undertone. This is made from really excellent sun-sweetened leaf and has been prepared masterfully.
I recommend a corn cob pipe without filter for the wide open 6mm bore, and don't puff on it after it's lit. Just let the smoke drift up into your mouth. Slow and gentle gives sweet and rich. The palm-roll filling method works great for me with this broken flake. If you handle it correctly, this is an excellent all-day smoke. I'm going to make a habit of aging this one.
