A great natural aromatic
February 24, 2018
Product: Cornell & Diehl Bluegrass 2oz
....that tastes great, too! The room note is burnt caramel and vanilla, but the taste is only mildly sweet. The dark-fired and Perique really give this a tanginess, but I only pick up the cigar leaf (?) on the aftertaste. It's a quite strong at the s... Read More
tart, but soon settles to a pleasurable smoke. AZ Mountain nailed it. This is a spicy and complex blend. I hope 8 oz. containers are coming as I'd like cellar this.
update:
I've now enjoyed several bowls of this and found that it smokes well in briar, olive, and morta bowls of medium-size. Meerschaum seems to magnify the strength. This blend benefits from DGT due to the virginia content. Read Less
Spicy and complex
January 17, 2018
Product: Cornell & Diehl Bluegrass 2oz
I'm about half way through my first tin of this, and each bowl seems to be more enjoyable than the last. The tin aroma has more of the fermented Va aroma (ala McClelland) than most C & D blends. I consider this full flavored and fairly complex, wit... Read More
h a mix of tangy citrus, earth, and spice. I also get a slightly salty (but pleasant) aftertaste from it. The cigar leaf in this blend is mild and doesn't stand out, which is good since I normally don't like cigar leaf in pipe tobacco. Just a good well rounded, and very spicy bright blend that behaves well in the bowl, and has a moderately high nicotine level (to me). No wonder this is sold out - I will be coming back for another tin when it's back in stock. Read Less

I think this is my first blend that features Dark Fired Kentucky, and I can't say I'm disappointed. I really enjoy at the end of the day, right before my meal. This is a heavier blend that I could possibly smoke all day.
Awesome

This is a great strong and robust blend when it is that time of the day you need it. Lots of flavor and a great kick

I'm not usually compelled to write tobacco reviews, after all we are all different and our experiences are singular. However I think I am now familiar enough with this blend to make some more or less informed comments about this tobacco. Well balance... Read More
d, and after 3 - 6 months age the Virginas are sweeter but not cloying. The Perique exhibits a pepperiness on the retro-hale but fades into the background mid-bowl with a piquant end game.
The Dark-Fired Kentucky bringing with it chocolate under tones. The nicotine level is sufficient as a first bowl in the morning or as the last on a rainy, cool evening in the south. Read Less
Quite Good

This blend is one of the better combinations of these components that I've had. Dark-fired and Perique really shine in this one.
Espresso VaPer

Product: Cornell & Diehl Bluegrass 2oz
Very nice flavor. Delicious, satisfying, meaty. This is a great blend for C&D. I've been exploring the dark fired leaf and find it really does well in these VaPers. It adds an additional touch of sweetness with earthy notes of espresso and faintly Co... Read More
nnecticut cigar wrapper. I don't get any smokiness per say but the flavor is great. It plays well with the Perique and Virginias. Flavorful blend that is well seasoned with its condiment tobaccos. IMHO a bit too robust for a morning smoke, but repeatable all afternoon. Read Less

The Dark Fired and Perique run the show with the VA providing some lighter notes. A medium blend that offers a fully flavored body.
Product: Cornell & Diehl Bluegrass 2oz
I’ve tried my hand at blending a VaPer with dark fired leaf in the past, but it never came close to this perfection. It’s almost like peppered jerky with a hint of sweetness. If this came in bulk I’d buy it by the pound.
The nic hit is more than mos... Read More
