Wicked Good...

March 02, 2020

By: Old Timer...

Product: Cornell & Diehl Bayou Night Bulk

It's an English blend, with all your usual suspects...excuse me, a Scottish blend of Burley, Latakia, Orientals, Perique, Virginia...like you've smoked in a hundred different blends, right?
This is different.
Someone left the Estrogen out of this one.
You might not like this.
Millennial's may be offended.
This blend doesn't care about you.
It's not going to hug you if you cry.
This is artistry.
Bold Perique forward, yet all the subtle nuances of the blend come through.
Truly sublime....Read More

A very complex smoke with layers of smoky and spice.

The perique is obvious in this blend, but while it has spicy undertones I get a huge amount of complexity and flavors from this excellent blend. Not for the faint of heart, this blend has spicy, smokiness, subtle sweetness (think more like BBQ rib type sweet than candy) and the occasional tangy/tarty notes from the orientals. It’s incredibly well balanced in such a way that while each draw I know I’ll get smoky and spicy, but I also get hints of so much more that evolve slowly throughout the smoke. A full flavored smoke with plenty of nicotine. I’d highly recommend trying out a bit if you’re interested. They also sell 2 oz tins along with bulk too....Read More

This one seems deserving of a higher rating than its current 3.4★...

...because I just opened up a small 4oz jar, filled from 16oz I bought, that is dated Nov `23. I'm smoking it and thinking "what is going on here? It's quite complex/complicated and thought; "inspiring." I thought "is there anything I can compare this to when I post my review? Because this would be a pleasant substitution for anything I could compare it to and "is this VA and Burley? Nope." I thought of many blends while trying to make those connections. Now I see it is; Latakia, Perique, Virginias, Turkish, and Burleys. Therein lies the "complexity"...I suppose. Other thoughts I had; "this is a nice-tasty blend I could smoke when wanting to give my tongue a break, yet remains full of flavor/s." I see it is rated 4 of 5 on strength. But that seems a bit high. I do not believe this rating is accurate...for it's nic-level seems to deserve a lower rate. And I've had stronger nic-reactions to other 4 of 5 rated blends. So, I do recommend trying this, spend some time and give it a chance in multiple pipes. And just see if enjoy all it gives you. Which it does plenty of...throughout the bowl (top-to-bottom). This is becoming one of my favorites, in most pipes, but it doesn't work in all pipes. It is mechanically easy to smoke, and its taste lasts throughout the bowl. I just started working on some C&D Mountain Camp, Engine #99, and Haunted Bookshop. Mountain Camp will be receiving a high mark and will soon be reordered in bulk.But Haunted Bookshop and Engine #99 fell a bit short for me, and are just plain and underwhelming. Only good for maybe giving the tongue a break. So I will not yet rate those two....Read More

Good and Plain

February 17, 2025

By: Jeremy S.

Product: Cornell & Diehl Bayou Night Bulk

No topping. Plain tobacco. Very little spice from the leaf. Burns softly and smokes plain. Doesn’t seem to have much nicotine. You smoke this from a clean pipe or you will ruin the plain tobacco. I recommend tightly packed. Small amount of alkaline noted. When I tire of flavoring I grab this....Read More

Bizarre

I hope fine folks at C&D will forgive me but this is one bizarre blend.
Perique is clearly dominating element here. Surprisingly, the mix doesn’t taste too spicy while smoking. Unfortunately, perique acts almost like a topping overshadowing and diminishing taste of individual components, thus, misbalancing the blend. Red Virginia provides its usual dark overtones but not much of sweetness. Burley provides usual nuttiness as well as typical harshness. Virginias smooth it down a bit but not completely. Latakia tastes as a tiny bit of smokiness somewhere very far on background. And I could barely taste Orientals at all.
I found the blend to be very pipe dependent. I didn’t like it in Meerschaum pipes at all. Thin walled briar pipes were an improvement. Thick walled large briar pipes provided best results. Personally, I enjoyed it the most in Peterson House pipe.
Altogether, I found this blend to be very interesting and unusual but not really to my liking. I finished the tin without regrets but doubt that I will order it again....Read More

Powerful and earthy with some spice. It will incinerate your got damn throat and chest if you aren't careful. Although I did mix it with some autumn evening and have not had a raw "Bayou night" experience it only proves how strong it is, in fact it is the strongest blend I ever had. ...Read More

Harsh and spicy

October 09, 2024

By: Stephen W.

Product: Cornell & Diehl Bayou Night Bulk

I purchased the bulk not tinned. It came mostly dry. It took a light easily but burned hot. This blend is slightly harsh but has some nuttiness and some sweet and sour. It is very spicy. I can smoke Peterson Nightcap every day and it’s delicious but this is a tough blend.

GREAT English!

Pretty Good

September 10, 2024

By: Sam F.

Product: Cornell & Diehl Bayou Night Bulk

I had high hopes for this one given that Mountain Camp is one of my all time favorites and based off of this blend, just swapping the proportions of Latakia and Perique. That shift makes a big difference in overall flavor and spice it turns out. The blend is made of excellent tobaccos and the Perique is delicious, but a bit to spicy for my preference. It's also higher in nicotine. Kind of a "no, duh" but I wasn't prepared for it. If you are a Perique lover and enjoy english style blends I would highly recommend it. I would also only recommend it for somewhat experienced pipe smokers. If you're new to the craft, hold off on this one and work your way to it after you get yourself tuned in some....Read More

Harsh w/out the flavor

June 06, 2024

By: Bryan R.

Product: Cornell & Diehl Bayou Night Bulk

I find this one to be harsh w/out the flavor to make up for it. Even blending it with milder tobaccos, it’s still the only one out of all I’ve tried that burns my tongue.
