Cornell & Diehl: Apricots and Cream 2oz Pipe Tobacco

I really enjoyed this C&D blend. It is a smooth flavorful tobacco. It’s a fantastic blend of apricot brandy and one of my favorites, Green River Vanilla. The room note is light, yet sweet. In the bowl its flavors are prominent. It’s a pleasant smoke that will be added to my regular rotation....Read More

Pros:
Very good room note and tastes of apricot and yogurt
Great component to smoke with latakia

Cons:
Too wet and sometimes disrupt the whole smoking experience

Una apariencia atractiva por el black cavendish y su inmediata humedad. Sin embargo al paladar es insípido y con muy poco nicotina y pocos aromas que hace que su fumada sea imperceptible. Creo que no lo volvería a probar

Good, nothing extraordinary, but way too wet. Let it dry with whatever process you’re familiar with.

I'm a novice pipe smoker and like aromatics. This one is my favorite thus far. It's smooth, easy on the palette and great for new pipe smokers like myself. My wife likes the smell also - big plus!

Was a bit worried about this aromatic being too moist, and while it is a wetter leaf than most, the flavor and lingering room note on this one is immensely satisfying. It's not overwhelmingly sweet, just a hint of apricot, and a smooth vanilla tone that doesn't linger too long. Definitely need to cellar this one for a bit dryer leaf, and I'd treat this more as a special occasion smoke, but I'm very satisfied with this one and will likely always keep a jar in the house....Read More

I bought this after reading the reviews. And I can honestly say that this is a really nice tobacco with no bite. I have been looking for a long time for a tabacco that has a mild taste. This will definitely be in my rotation.

The tin note is sweet, almost overwhelmingly sickly sweet. For those who have tried flavored dips Like peach Skoal, the scent is very similar. Taking it in more gently made the tin note more enjoyable than the deep whiffs that accompany my initial opening of other blends. I allowed the tobacco to air dry for 10-15 minutes before lighting. The sweetness was consistent, and the aroma just as advertised. I enjoyed Apricots & Cream and will likely buy and cellar some for a refreshing summer evening change of pace. If you haven't tried it, and are on the fence like I was, take the risk. It may surprise you....Read More

It vaguely smells of apricot when you open the tin, but the flavor come and goes throughout the bowl. There's a slight sweetness and a slight apricot in the middle 1/3 of the bowl and a little bit towards the end, but it's inconsistent. If you're looking for something fruity and creamy, try PS Peaches and Cream, that'll most likely hit the spot. This isn't isn't bad, but i won't but it again....Read More

This blend has a wonderful apricot and vanilla tin note with just a hint of cocoa. It packs easily and stays lit even when sipping slowly. It burns very well and not too hot. The flavor reminds me of an unfrosted chocolate cake. The retrohale is pleasant and enhances the chocolate flavors.
