The Best American English... Period
March 15, 2020
Product: Cornell & Diehl Constellation Bulk
This is quite simply the best darn smoke I’ve ever had. It’s Latakia-forward (60%), richly flavored, smoky, creamy and musty sweet. It reminds me of Dunhill MM965, but better. Because burley replaces the sun-cured Orientals, it has more of a toasted... Read More
grain nuance rather than a verdant spice note. I've purchased pounds of this as I never tire of it and it's proven to be consistent. Constellation is the only one worth keeping in my large everyday tobacco jar. Nicotine's 2.5 on a 5 scale. Read Less
Just Great

Product: Cornell & Diehl Constellation Bulk
This is very heavy in latakia but also has a velvety smooth balanced quality and flavor to the smoke. All the components work well in the blend. I get the smooth rich latakia upfront when I draw on the pipe and taste the other tobaccos which each tak... Read More
e turns and many times share in different wonderful combinations the secondary spot in the flavor profile when it rolls off my tongue. The flavor reminds me a little of a marshmallow that has been well burnt over a campfire at times, without the sweetness of course and espresso and cream or maybe really dark chocolate at times. I enjoyed my first 2 oz enough to order more. I will probably be keeping this around it's one of the better english blends I've come across out of many I've tried. The nicotine level is not too overly powerful, but strong enough to be satisfying. One thing I like about this blend is it's good in the morning and still full enough for the last smoke of the day or after a good meal, it's really good about anytime for me, especially when it's cool outside. It smokes really consistent from one bowl to the next and I always get a satisfying smoke. Read Less
Transports you to the great Outdoors

A very balanced latikia-virginia blend. A cool smoke that takes you to those cool fall outdoors with a campfire burning. This is a blend I'll be taking with me on fishing trips.
Smooth Latakia Bomb

Product: Cornell & Diehl Constellation Bulk
Do you like Latakia, with your Latakia? Now Pirate Kake has about 75% Latakia. I like Pirate Kake. I think this has even more Latakia. I like Latakia and often smoke a straight bowl of it. This has a touch of Virginia and Burley, and frankly it was j... Read More
ust Latakia that I tasted. There's nothing wrong with that. I enjoyed this. It's a very sweet, smoky Latakia driven blend. Light to medium on nicotine.
I added a little Cigar Leaf and a bit more Burley on my next bowl and liked it even more.
This is not a balanced blend, to me. It's great for the Latakia, but I will be blending this to add some depth. Read Less

Nice jar aroma, a pleasant taste of virginia and rich latakia. well balanced cool smoke. I would recommend this to non-aromatic & english blend lovers. This will be in my collection
Very, Very Good American English

Product: Cornell & Diehl Constellation Bulk
This English blend is very floral and quite pleasant. The sweetness through out reminds of very fresh ripe green apples just picked from a tree, yummy.
Product: Cornell & Diehl Constellation Bulk
I’m quite enjoying this one. Smells strong of Latakia with some sweetness in the background. The smoke seems very balanced. Despite the strong Lat smell, the sweetness of the Va and Black cav come through first, followed by the Lat. Very mild and ple... Read More

Well chosen name
August 25, 2017
Product: Cornell & Diehl Constellation Bulk
The dark smoky-leathery latakia shrouds the Cav and the Burley most, in the tin note, which is sparkling with interspersed bright virginia notes like stars in the night sky. Has the taste of an exotic and buttery english even without the Oriental lea... Read More
f, the latakia taste and smell is quite present and virginias contribute just enough sweetness to walk the fence between sweet and savory. Really interesting about this english is the presence of burley, producing a lot of smoke along with the Lat, but making it so completely mild it can be snorked or even french inhaled. (Not recommended, I was just impressed by how mild this mixture is) Read Less
The reason why i love Cornell & Diehl
April 22, 2016
Product: Cornell & Diehl Constellation Bulk
The moisture is just perfect to smoke right out of the bag, and the different colours looking brilliant. Of course you smell the Latakia first, but Black Cavendish and Burley give it very complex cocoa- like smell to it. Lighting is very easy, one or... Read More
two matches are enough. The taste is very complex smoky-choclate-nutty. It is a bold and strong blend, the smoke is very rich and satisfying. It reminds me somehow the old version of Dunhill 965. It burns very, very well and leaves just a bit of bright ash. Nearly no Moisture. Nicotine level is medium, it's not too strong. Recommend it to the serious english smoker, that are looking for a bold and satisfying late- evening Blend.For me it has replaced Star of the East from the 1st Place. Will buy more for sure.

Product: Cornell & Diehl Constellation Bulk
Wow! This is a great blend! It has a nice full body, but cool smoking with no bite. It has a nuttiness and I can identify the different tobaccos individually, but the blend together nicely as well. A new favorite.

Ok I love the balance of this blend.
This blend is balanced full flavor,and perfect for rotating whit black frigate.
Good daily, not to strong

Very flavourful without a huge heavy hit, it's actually a nice combination.
It's almost light, The emphasis on this is definitely centred around the Latakia, but the burley is also very present. I didn't really notice the virginia much, and the caven... Read More

This blend is very tasty. Very Latakia forward with a powerful tin note. I am quite the fan of black Cavendish with lat because it adds a subtle sweetness to the rich smoky blend. Might be a new cost effective replacement to some smaller batchlat ble... Read More

Solid body, but needs more flavor

Product: Cornell & Diehl Constellation Bulk
There isn't enough Latakia here to keep my attention. It seems that the Black Cav is the predominant component, so there just isn't room for much flavor to come through.
Enjoyment Under the Stars

This is a full bodied English blend that reminds me somewhat of Balkan Sobranie 759. It is a slow, even burning bkend that is easy on the palatte while still providing the rich, dark muskyness of a very generous portion of Latakia. A great companion ... Read More

It's a good tobacco,but it's not for me..........It smells too much of a cigarette..........
Not bad,but slightly metallic tasting
August 05, 2020
Product: Cornell & Diehl Constellation Bulk
I wanted to like this one, but there is a distinctive metallic taste to the two ounces I tried. With so many other similar blends, this one just won't rate a second purchase.
I'm comparing it with Stokkebye's Proper English, which is about the same... Read More

Very nice smooth English with just the right amount of Latikia! Hey I’m ordering a pound

Latakia flavor but it doesn't bash you over the head. Full bodied and balanced. This blend won't medal, but manages top ten finishes, it's steady.
