Product: Cornell & Diehl Chenet's Cake 2oz
A very good complex blend. Tin note is leather, dark chocolate, and fruit. Taste is sweet and fruity and becomes spicy in the last half of the bowl. A very good blend. I love the crumble cake form. Only gave it 4 stars because mine is only 3 years ol... Read More

I read that this blend is 35% perique, so I expected this to be a similar experience to biting into a habañero...but, this is a surprisingly gentle blend. To be sure, it IS spicy, but I actually find St James Flake and Bayou Morning Flake much spicie... Read More
r. The spice mostly disappears after the halfway point, and the earthy sweetness that was present in the background all along takes center stage. A very cool,slow burning cake. I prefer Oak Alley to this; Chenets Cake is a tasty,satisfying smoke now, but it doesn't blow me away like Oak Alley did. With some age on it, I expect this to really become an incredible smoke.

Age for Balance
June 06, 2018
Product: Cornell & Diehl Chenet's Cake 2oz
This blend is recommended for a 10-15 year aging. However, the age of my sample is only 1 year, so I expect balance will improve with time and this may become a 5-star blend when properly aged.
Medium-light color, in a cleanly-cut cake, with a small... Read More
bit of loose added to make weight. Nice complexity to the nose. Fruit, spice, hay, sweet
bread and faint chocolate. Cake shreds to fine, short rough ribbon that burns quickly. Relatively unbalanced flavor with the perique quite
dominant. A rich smoke with significant perique evident in retrohale. Buy to lay down, not to smoke now. Read Less
My Favorite so far!

Product: Cornell & Diehl Chenet's Cake 2oz
I've tried around 75 blends of which most are Virginia or vaper. This one replaced Elizabethan and Kajun kake. Perique is not 25% it is actually a good smoke. Very earth, tangy, slightly sweet. Ages very well. Some tins you can wring water out of the... Read More

If You're Patient, Then Maybe
May 23, 2015
Product: Cornell & Diehl Chenet's Cake 2oz
This line is supposedly designed for cellaring, and the side of the tin gives the 'estimated peak' of this tobacco as 10-15 years. I thought I'd try it now, since I love Perique and have been known to smoke it straight. Right now, this stuff is incre... Read More
dibly harsh. I cannot recommend it right out of the tin. What would it be like in 10-15 years? Beats me. I'm turning 50 soon and don't have that kind of patience anymore. EDIT: Gave it a second try after jarring it for two months, and it's earned an additional star. Why? I smoked it in a larger bowl, and the first half of the bowl was actually quite enjoyable. And then the harshness kicked in again and it became unsmokeable for me. Perhaps I've become spoiled by VaPers that burn almost down to nothing. Read Less

Product: Cornell & Diehl Chenet's Cake 8oz
Tin note of stewed sour plums, spiced Rasin bread, and tart dark fruit. The moist marbled reddish tan, brown, and dark brown Krumble Kake breaks apart easily and may need some drying. Burns slow with multiple relights. The strength is medium and nic ... Read More
is medium. No flavoring detected. Taste is medium to full and somewhat consistent, with notes of very earth, very spicy, woody, bread, sour lemon, tangy raisin, mildly floral, mild sweet grass, mild dark chocolate, and a very peppery retro. The evenly matched Perique and Virginias are locked in a grudge match. Room note is pleasant to tolerable, and aftertaste is great. Read Less

Good little blend. It’s not the perique powerhouse it advertises though. I think that bayou night is a more prominent perique. However it is pretty tasty and the cake provides a very well married flavor that definitely is worth having. Like many of t... Read More

Product: Cornell & Diehl Chenet's Cake 2oz
More than the peppery spice common in blends with lower amounts of perique, in this blend, the high amount of the component produces notes of fig and other dark fruits, like plum. Age it for at least a year. If you are a devout vaper smoker, you will... Read More

So, my tastes are as follows: 90% English, 5% VaPer, 5% "others". One the occasion that I get a hankering for a VaPer, THIS is the type of blend I want. Not one of those blends that make you wonder if there's actually any Perique in it, but... Read More
a front and center blend. One the occasion that I cheat on Lady Latakia, I want to be sure it's worth it. That's where this blend comes in. Spicy, deliciously flavorful and wholly satisfying. Read Less

Top Notch Virginia/Perique
April 12, 2019
Product: Cornell & Diehl Chenet's Cake 2oz
I thought the flavours of the tobacco were fantastic. The tin note smells very fruity but also has a very strong acidic/fermentation note. I actually liked it to be honest. I know it's meant to be cellared it but I cracked a year old tin and boy wa... Read More
s it harsh on the retrohale. I found the perique very plummy and peppery with a definite sweetness from the Virginia. All around I thought it was quite enjoyable. I popped into a tobacconist out of town and managed to find a 4 year old tin. I'm gonna put at least 6 more years on it before I pop it. EDIT: I let this stuff sit for about a year before I tried it again. Whether my taste changed, I gained more smoking experience or age did the trick, I absolutely love this now. From 3.5 to 5 stars. This stuff is delicious and I would definitely consider the perique to be as equally spicy as it is fruity. I also can taste the burley in it a more now but it's just enough to bring the whole smoke together and not necessarily add much burley flavour. Read Less
C'est Bon!

Product: Cornell & Diehl Chenet's Cake 2oz
Although it's not made with the 'real' St. James Parish Perique, this cake is a treat for fans of the stout and smelly condiment tobacco. A healthy amount of Perique combines with Virginias to make a wonderful tin note and a cohesive flavor that's sp... Read More
icy, but not full of bite and it won't burn your nose hairs off. If you like the spicy side of Perique, you'll like this. It's not all pepper, but this is definitely more peppery than the mildly sweet, dark fruit variety, as C&D's Perique tends to lean. It does have a very pleasant dark fruit aroma though. This of course may change with time. Especially since this blend is from their Cellar Series, I'd imagine that with some age that it's going to transform considerably. The pleasantly bready, bright/golden Virginias make up a solid and tasty backbone of this cake. They didn't overdo it with the red Virginia content, and I'm glad for that. The golden Virginias and the Perique combine in a wonderful, 'high-octane' VA-Per that is faintly reminiscent of Elizabethan Mixture in its balance of naturally bready and spicy flavors, and in nicotine content. The nicotine is about 6 out of 10—not overwhelming but definitely noticeable. My tin was about nine months old, and it was a delicious smoke right out of the tin - so delicious that I had five pipefuls in one evening! Chenet's Cake is yet another winner in the Cellar Series lineup. As they say in Louisiana, "C'est bon!" Read Less

I am a huge fan of Bayou Morning, and this tobacco was very similar, but with a more balanced flavor. Also the crumble cake format is always a pleasure.
