Cornell & Diehl: Canal Boat 2oz Pipe Tobacco

Ok. I'm at the end of this tin and I must say, it is very good. Strong enough, no bite, and very smokey. Perfect for a beginner btw. Will be a main stay with me.

Not one of my top favorite but a decent smoke

The combo of burly and black cavendish with Latakia prompted me to give this blend a try. Most of the blends that top my list incorporate Latakia, Orientals, and Perique. This is a good smoke. Somewhat milder in flavor profile, yet enjoyable. The room note too was enjoyable - to the point of non-pipe smokers around me commenting on the pleasant aroma. I smoked this in the early morning with a cup of black coffee. It was a good combination to start my day. I like the lighter profile of this blend, and think it is well suited for anytime smoking....Read More

this is a tobacco that can be overdone in a lot of ways. It's harsh out of the tin and needs aged in a mason jar. When fresh, its almost more savory than sweet. And, the latakia can drown out the burleys w/out age. That said, once aged this becomes something really special. Currently smoking a 7 year old tin...sublime. Sweet but subtle savory notes, smokey and so smooth. Dont crank on it or you'll ruin it. Get some, you'll be grateful....Read More

This is very good! The latakia is there in small measure but it counters the sweetness of the cavendish and elevates the burley. It's such a joy to handle; the cubed burley and smaller cut latakia and cavendish makes this so easy and clean to load. Having a good burley, black Cavendish and latakia mixture is a real treat in the simplest of forms. Let this breath for a week or two after opening. There were times I got a big hit of cocoa, not a natural nuance from the burley, but rather an applied distinct chocolate flavor. Smoke at a moderate pace and you'll be rewarded with a richness comprised of smoky, toasted oats with a chocolatey flavor. Pushed or smoked too hot, and it'll get acrid and harsh. It's a great Autumn mixture. Nicotine is 1.5-2 out of 5....Read More

This simple blend is as smooth as a canal boat, with lots of flavor and character, and kind to the pallet! I try most everything that comes along, but always come back to Canal Boat!

A simple blend of finely cut burley, black cavendish, and smoky Latakia. I would almost call it an English blend if not for the absence of Virginia. The missing Virginia and the cut of the burley is in this blend’s favor. Sweet, nutty, and smoky. It’s especially delicious after a year of aging....Read More

Really good stuff; the Latakia smells strong in the tin but I can't taste it at all. The flavor is just really great, nutty burley with a very subtle sweetness from the Cavendish. Easy to pack, burns very slow and cool. Absolutely delicious.
