Belmont Station
February 21, 2018
Product: Cornell & Diehl Belmont Station Bulk
Picked up a pound of this one during C&D's bulk sale, and the description got me. A bit damp out of the bag, but no stickiness, so I'm guessing more water than PG humectant. The tobacco presents itself in black and gold ribbons interspersed by va... Read More
rying shades of brown. The nose picks up rum for sure, and for some reason, a hint of cherry, but the vanilla is hard to find. Very reminiscent of Daughter's & Ryan's London Dock. Though the moisture is perfect from the bag, I prefer drier tobacco, so 20 minutes on a paper towel before loading.
Belmont Station likes a light packing and soft touch with a tamper, but takes fire easily, and burns cool and dry. Though an aromatic, the tobacco isn't totally masked by the Cavendish and other toppings. The vanilla presents itself more in the smoke than in the bag, and a rum sweetness lingers on the tongue. A bit of hay in the nose on the retrohale with a bit of spice in the background that I'm guessing is the Dark Fired Kentucky. A nice slow burn to the bottom of a pre '70s Savinelli 9004, as it's inaugural smoke since restoration, with two relights, and little dottle or moisture. Leaves a great room note, and could easily be an all day smoke. I give this 4 out of 5 stars for what it is, but raise it to 5 as a less expensive alternative to the above mentioned London Dock. Fans of Autumn Evening may enjoy this one, as it is yet another drier aromatic offering from Cornell and Diehl. Read Less

I keep trying aromatics and keep being disappointed. I'm sure that there is quality tobacco in this blend but the casing or topping gags me. Luckily, my next door neighbor loves aromatics, so he benefits from me trying to like aromatics.
Unique & Flavorful Aromatic

Unlike most aromatics, Belmont Station is packed with flavor. The vanilla is present in the room note but not so much in the taste. The dominant flavor is similar to a rum raisin cookie. The tin note is of dried fruit and tart raisin. At times th... Read More
e dark fired appears in the aroma and adds a smokiness to the flavor. Around midway through the bowl the virginia becomes noticeable. All in all this blend is very complex. Not an everyday smoke but certainly good for those times when you want something different. Burns surprisingly cool given how the tobacco is overly moist when you first open the tin. It will be interesting to see how this blend changes with a smidge of dry time. Read Less

Ok & growing on me. I'm a huge aromatic smoker, but this isn't strictly an aromatic. The dark Kentucky adds something interesting, but almost undesirable. Very complex, but I'm not quite sure it's good.
Thoroughly Enjoyable

I've had 5 bowls of this fantastic tobacco, and I have to say I'm impressed. Imagine pleasant aromatic notes of rum and vanilla over hearty, top-quality tobacco. It's very similar to Blockade Runner, in my opinion. In fact, I suspect that it might ac... Read More
tually be Blockade Runner in its pre-pressed form, since that delightful tobacco comes as a crumble cake. Just a hunch; not for certain. Either way, I'm adding this to my list of regular tobaccos. Read Less

I have been a pipe smoker for 50+ years. I have always been an aromatic fan. As such, I’m always looking for flavor without smoking a bowl of fire from the casing. On a whim I ordered a pound of Belmont Station. The nuances of the casing comes th... Read More
ru nicely, but with the addition of burley it has texture. My search is over with Belmont Station. C & D you hit a home run. I rated this a 5 star but only 3 stars showed up. Read Less

I smoke a lot of aromatics... Thought this would be nice, but was disappointed. On paper this looks similar to MB Plumcake, but change out the latakia for dark fired. The unpleasant result is a deertongue-like flavor mixed with old laundry and bad ch... Read More
eese. If you like C&D Gentleman Caller with an added limburger topping, give this a try. Everyone else should pass this by Read Less

I like aromatics and enjoy C&D’s Autumn Evening and Nutty Irishman. Read good things about Belmont but found it lacking in flavor. Could not find any vanilla
