Cornell & Diehl: Stovepipe 2oz Pipe Tobacco

Deliciously sweet virginias take the forefront, burley keeps it going, perique ties up the end, toppings seem a mere afterthought. Very mellow and enjoyable yet still far from bland. Taste mostly virginia at first, slightly vanilla. Buttery is how I'd describe it. Towards the end the perique and burley create an almost bacon-ey taste with the char of the smoldering virginias. I too wish this came in bulk. Update: This is going into my exclusive 5-star club. The virginias are top quality and the blend is perfect....Read More

I recently bought a tin of this excellent blend on the recommendation of my friend Jay Furman, tobacco connoisseur, and BOY was he right! This stuff is delicious. When they describe it as "lightly topped" with flavors of cocoa caramel and vanilla, they really mean LIGHTLY. You'll notice the aromas in the tin and upon the first light of the bowl. It's a pleasant, subtle taste. Not cloying or overpowering. But the rest is just a medium bodied delicious blend that you will easily smoke all day. I prefer to break the long ribbons into smaller pieces. It comes from the tin on the dry side, which is fine for me. This probably mostly forgotten tobacco is worth a try, especially for a fall smoke. I'm about to buy three more tins because I'm almost done my first tin. Thank you Jay for your wise words, recommending STOVEPIPE!...Read More

I’d say it’s not an aro but aro adjacent. It has a slight sweetness to it but still has a good tobacco taste that’d you’d expect from a Virginia Burley. Don’t seem to get much of the perique but either way it’s my go to when I can’t decide what to grab for.

This whole blend is a wonderful experience to smoke.

Not an aro, but it has that room note that would suggest otherwise. I get true tobacco flavor with just enough topping to make things interesting. The room note reflects the toppings used and is really pleasant, even to nonsmokers. It's pretty sweet too. I don't know if that's from the toppings or the combo of toppings and tobaccos used, but I love it. This is going into my rotation for sure!...Read More

This is my go to blend in the morning. It's nice and easy with a cup of coffee. And gets me ready for the day.

The notes caramel and vanilla stand in the forefront, though I find them at best medium and closer to a mild-medium. A note of raisin is found as the smoke continues. Nice aroma as one would hope. I've found tongue bite to be more of an issue with this blend than other aromatics I've smoked. It's not a bad blend by no means but there is nothing special about it either....Read More

Virginia forward blend with a little spice and a little sweetness. Definitely lightly topped as i didn't taste any topping.

Be warned its extremely sweet.good overall flavor but not for me personally. but hey, i like strait ahead blends

Looking for a well crafted blend of top shelf Virginias mixed with Cavendish? Add a sweetness that's richly sweet and bright and you'll have a good idea of this profile.The burley takes a backseat and let the Virginias drive this one. A wonderful surprise from c&d and well planned. A wonderful richly sweet smoking experience....Read More
