Cornell & Diehl: Blue Ridge 2oz Pipe Tobacco

As I smoke it more and more, I just can't get it, it seems kinda bland, a tiny bit of spiciness, a little flavor, but no much beyond that. I won't be buying more in the future, as I have more than half a tin left that I can't smoke.

This was a pleasant surprise. I’ve had a couple of other Cornell and Diehl blends and have not been wowed by any of them. This one, however, is great! The tin smell is of fig and hay (best way to describe it.) The room smell is just an average no-nonsense tobacco smell. The taste is medium bodied with a very nice and even tobacco flavor. This tobacco blend burns cool and there was absolutely no bite. If you’re looking for an everyday non-aromatic tobacco blend, you won’t be disappointed. It’s definitely my new go-to....Read More

This blend is deep and rich. No harsh or rough edges, no bite. Goes well with or without a charcoal filter, stays lit very well. For best flavor output gently sip this blend and really get the most out of this. I do wish this were available in larger tins. Yet another home run from C&D!...Read More

Needs just a bit of rubbing out. Came just a tad moist, but I was impatient and it burned well nonetheless. My palate is not refined enough to pick out all the different consituents in this blend, I just know it works for me. Very oriental flavor profile. I think the red Virginia is adding a tangy undertone that I really enjoy. Not an everyday smoke for me, but it is certainly part of my rotation!...Read More

I really took to this blend. I know that flavors hit us all different but this keeps very consistent taste through the smoke. Sweet bread with a slight tang. Half way down I get more sweetness and more richness. The perique is always there in taste and retro hale. Never bites and is very smooth. Just a great tobacco. Thanks C & D....Read More

This blend is a touch spicy (in a pleasant way). Nice VA/PER blend.

This was unremarkable in a standard length pipe, but I've been smoking it in a Missouri Meerschaum MacArthur 5-star bent and it's been great. As much as I like it, though, there just isn't enough flavor here for it to join my regular rotation.

This is exceptional. This is how you bring out the best in a stoved Virginia. Add a good dose of unflavored black cavendish, some high quality orientals for subtle but insistent flavor and perique for strength and dried fruit fragrance. You have created a unique blend that is very satisfying....Read More

I was initially drawn to this blend from it being named after my favorite mountains, but the description made me very curious. It hasn't disappointed at all, this blend is great. Red virginias will always make a great base, and the condiments do exactly what they're supposed to. The cavendish (which i don't see at all visually) definitely adds a little more sweetness, but it doesn't make it burn hot or steamy. The perique is quite subtle thankfully, just lending some fruitiness and a hint of spice in the back of my throat. Doesn't overpower anything else. The orientals seem to be the most prominent condiment, because there is a definite incense and oddly floral taste that increases as the bowl progresses. The blend as a whole is earthy and woodsy, a little sweet, and has a great floral quality. I highly recommend it, it tastes great and I think it's going to age nicely as well....Read More
