About This Pipe Tobacco

Named in honor of Pierre Chenet, the farmer accredited with discovering the process that turns Burley into Perique in 1824, Cornell & Diehl's Chenet's Cake is a combination of Virginia and Perique, pressed into an old-fashioned crumble cake. This Cellar Series blend is a Perique powerhouse for those who simply can't get enough of this "truffle of tobaccos."

Not quite there yet...hoping some age helps.

I will start by saying "only pay attention to reviews by those who've tried this when aged." I have none to try, that is aged, so I tried to stove 2oz of my 10oz. Stove-time did improve it, some, but it isn't a blend that is yet convinced me to stock up on. I give it 4.0★ but I want to give it just 3.5★. I just don't want to hurt its average; for mine still being on the fresh side. Time will tell on this one. If you can find a generous soul, willing to send you some of this with some years on it, maybe you can try it and know if you should buy now...and enjoy later....Read More

I kept this tin for exactly two years. Good complexity to the nose when opening. Fruits, spices, hay, sweet bread and weak chocolate. An interesting blend of Virginia and Perique. Interestingly, the mixture was named in honor of Pierre Chenet. The perique portion is large, about 30%, but a surprisingly smooth blend. Very cool, slow burning cake. Good aftertaste....Read More

nice change of pace

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 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 More

mystery blend

I have a tin of this blend from 2020. Seven more years and it will be ready to try. As for any negative reviews,,, you opened it too early! While I jest, there is a point to be made about a “cellar” series. My understanding is they will be ready in about ten years from the package date. Similar to Mount Rushmore not being the Artists vision until ten thousand years of weathering, so this blend was not ready when made. Lucky for us we only wait ten years!!...Read More
