Suprised I never heard of this
September 13, 2017
Product: Cornell & Diehl Yorktown Bulk
After my first smoke I knew this was going to be a great every day smoke. The sweetness from the toasty red and bright virginias is very pleasant yet not overpowering. There is a bit more complexity there than most straight VA blends. I'm surprised I... Read More

Very underrated

Product: Cornell & Diehl Yorktown Bulk
Fantastic virginia blend. Should be talked about more often. Especially since it is available in bulk. Can't wait to try this after it has some age on it. This is a perfect mix of bright and red Virginia's. Plenty of grass and hay and just a touch of... Read More
that ketchupy red virginia flavor you get from Mcclelland but not nearly as strong. Definitely worth a try for any virginia smoker. Quickly found a spot in my rotation. Read Less
Delicious and Very Little Bite for a Straight Va
February 19, 2018
Product: Cornell & Diehl Yorktown Bulk
I really enjoy this blend. It's sweet and a little nutty, very smooth with a creamy smoke. It's very flavorful, and for a straight Virginia blend, it has very little bite. This is my new favorite blend.
No Surprises, Good For Change of Pace
December 27, 2017
Product: Cornell & Diehl Yorktown Bulk
Soon as I opened the bag I knew what I was getting. The fresh mowed hay aroma proved true to the taste. Sharp opening taste (straw) and even smooth burning makes for a very pleasant change from other blends. Only downside, for me, was the after ta... Read More

A Good Virginia

This isn't my favorite blend, but I can't really say anything bad about it.
Simple But Good

Product: Cornell & Diehl Yorktown 2oz
A very bright Virginian blend that smokes well on its own, or when cut with others, for better roundness and warmth. Also, I wish it came in flake form.
Just Excellent

Bold and Flavorful
October 25, 2017
Product: Cornell & Diehl Yorktown Bulk
I think this is a pretty good blend that has a good straight forward Va flavor with a bit of complexity. Interesting enough I'll smoke on it for a while and update my review if it grows on me even more. The flavors are full enough to keep me wanting ... Read More

Under-rated!

Really surprised this does not get more love - a VA lovers dream. Not overly complex, but you get the best of both the bright and red virginias all in one
Plain ok sweet Virginia

Great blend extremely underrated. For the purist who loves a good Virginia sweet grassy light. All day smoke. Just don’t go crazy on the puffing cause she bites.
Real Virginia
July 14, 2019
Product: Cornell & Diehl Yorktown 2oz
This smells like my grandads hay loft, a really nice friendly smell from decades past. A lovely orange and brown ribbon that seems dry in the tin but smokes beautifully. It’s sweet, mild, tasty and is easy to smoke as it stays lit with little effort.... Read More
A perfect match for an MM General. It burns slowly enough to provide a solid hour of happy pipe smoking time. No bite, cool burn, mild but with a definite character. A straight up tobacco that can stand on its own with no trickery or treachery. Every description I’ve ever read regarding Virginia blends is right there...hay or fresh cut grass tin note, sweet from the first puff to the bottom of the bowl and a flavorful smoke that got an OK for aroma from she who will complain. The ribbon cut could burn hot but if you take it easy it’s a cool mellow smoke. As a die hard Burley smoker, I’ll place this one atop my list of Virginia’s worth smoking and fit it in to my tobacco rotation. It’s a winner. Smoked in a well used Missouri Meerschaum General from a freshly opened tin dated 5/6/19...pipe had a fresh filter. Read Less

Very Good Virginia
February 10, 2019
Product: Cornell & Diehl Yorktown Bulk
It tastes almost exactly like Ashton Gold Rush. Not quite as hay/sweet as Orlik, but a nice nutty taste with some citrus notes.
The only problem is that it tastes quite a bit like Dunhill cigarettes and I almost inhaled it a couple of times at the st... Read More

More Bright than Red
March 26, 2018
Product: Cornell & Diehl Yorktown Bulk
the grassiness of Bight Virginia dominates the Red. Not bad but age would improve this blend.
Good stuff

Product: Cornell & Diehl Yorktown Bulk
This is my first all Virginia blend and I actually really enjoy it. Came a little on the dry side but that’s expected with bulk tobaccos. Still burns nice and has a decent sweet grass note to it. Might end up ordering more to use as a base for mixing... Read More

A Strange Acidity
September 04, 2017
Product: Cornell & Diehl Yorktown Bulk
I hit this blend hard for a few days and then slowed down on it a bit. There is a strange sourness I detect. It's not a sour pipe taste, I've tried it in many different pipes. It's the taste of sour candy, of over acidity. It's not unpleasent, but it... Read More

Virginia Purist's Delight
July 11, 2017
Product: Cornell & Diehl Yorktown 2oz
This is a great Va blend. I appreciate that C&D's tobaccos are cased in a way that maintains the integrity of the natural tobacco flavors. This one is solid on it's own if you are looking for a straight forward Red/Bright Va and in my opinion it ... Read More
would make a fantastic base for creating your own blend(s). Read Less
It's a Virginia

Product: Cornell & Diehl Yorktown Bulk
Grassy, sweet, and further proof that my palette wants something less heavy that it can smoke all day.
