Product: Cornell & Diehl Da Vinci 2oz
This is a very heavy latakia blend. It would be fair to call this a lat bomb by most peoples definition. I do taste all the tobaccos in harmony with the latakia always playing lead. I would say it is balanced enough to work well. The cut is broad and... Read More
I like it in a large Savinelli 115ks pot which really brings out a smooth rich flavor. There is a nice solid nic hit too that makes me just sit there and contemplate things. Be warned about that if you are susceptible to nic hits making you feel woozy but don't let that scare you just know it has a punch. This blend is a nightcap only for me when I want a bowl. I am smoking an 8 year old 8oz tin right now and have a pound tin in the cellar. I really think aging helped and made it a lot smoother. Definitely one of the best and strongest blends in the C&D lineup. I hope they always make this. Read Less

If you like Latakia, this is heavy with it. The addition of good Burley really rounds out the blend. Although it is Latakia forward, similar to Star of the East, the Burley in this blend comes through and builds in flavor as you get into the bowl. T... Read More
he Virginia seems to compliment the sweetness and nuttiness of the blend.
Really a pleasant smoke. Read Less

Si eres amante del Latakia, deberías probar esta mezcla. Pero cuidado, demasiado Latakia invade el paladar si lo fumas muy rápido. Tómate tu tiempo y disfrútalo.
A Masterpiece!

This blend is truly a work of art by the blenders at C&D. This has become my go to blend for a relaxing smoke after after dinner.

Smoked by the campfire tonight. Perfect on a cool evening, if you are a Latakia lover.

Had a wild craving for Latakia after lunch today and stopped at my favorite Albuquerque Tobacconist to see what they had. This blend by my favorite C&D, was suggested as the most intensive Latakia blend they had on hand.
I drove it home, popped t... Read More
he tin, loaded my favorite old Savinelli billiard and lit up. If the tin note wasn’t convincing enough, the first few puffs certainly were. Interestingly smooth and comparatively mild given its major, 75%, Latakia content. Still smoking my first bowl but I can see this becoming a regular anytime I’m in the mood for some serious Latakia smoking. An interesting combination of brown and black ribbon with broken yellow flake. Tangy but no bite, flavorful but not strong, great aroma without being an aromatic. Whomever is responsible for the blend is courageous and smart, paying close attention to details.
The tin date of 11/18/18 says that it’s fairly fresh. It’s a nice smooth smoke that took care of my Latakia craving and introduced me to yet another top notch C&D blend. I’ll certainly keep a tin or two on hand. I’d consider it to be a good introduction to Latakia for those that haven’t explored this interesting flavor. Leonardo would probably happily admit that this is a good idea for the advanced thinker.
Update:
Trying it as a post breakfast smoke in a Savinelli 611 KS Extra, average capacity bent Dublin. Very good after breakfast smoke for Latakia lovers. Tarler is the reported blender and he did a fine job. It’s an assertive but mild smoke. Read Less

You can't go wrong with this blend. Nothing compares to it's aftertaste and general performance. Great blend you should try.

Product: Cornell & Diehl Da Vinci 2oz
Tin note of sweet smoke, earth, and soda. Tobacco is mostly rough cut, mostly black with a little Bown and tan. Tobacco is dry but soft, no prep needed. Burns normal with few relights. The strength is medium to strong and nic is mild. No flavoring de... Read More
tected. Taste is medium to full and consistent, with notes of smoky, dry wood, earth, spicy incense, musty hay, toast, mild sweet grass, tart lemon, nutty, mildly salty sweet background note, and a peppery retro. Latakia is leading with little support from the Virginias. Burley steps up a little when Virginias are lacking. Room note is tolerable to strong, and aftertaste is great. Read Less

很重的拉味，但不会太糊。不需要醒很久，前调有厚的奶油味道，如果你慢慢抽，她的芳香弥漫开来，又不像共和国那样重的无法忍受。每一口都很满足，这款排在我最爱的前三。欲罢不能的感觉，建议大家尝试。

I am a latakia lover this to me is a great blend show casing the leaf its heavy and creamy and perfect for a cool night
Product: Cornell & Diehl Da Vinci 8oz
Burley or latakia? This is the best of both worlds. The flavors merge really nicely and it is nice and smooth. If I had one minor complaint it would be that I have a much harder time keeping this tobacco lit than most others. I tried it right after o... Read More
pening the tin, I’ve tried drying it out, tried packing it loose or tried packing it tighter, still have a hard time keeping it lit. I don’t know why that is but it is what it is. Just for reference 99% of tobacco I smoke I can smoke the whole bowl with two maybe three lights one being the charring light. But this stuff takes me 5,6,7 lights sometimes. Read Less

Latakia full blast with that burley and Virginia coming in to round out the flavor, earth woody aroma and taste
Product: Cornell & Diehl Da Vinci 2oz
It’s definitely Latakia heavy, and definitely good if you’re in the mood for a Lat bomb.. but I do prefer Pirate Kake over this. However, either should satisfy anyone in the mood for some heavy smoky goodness!
A Favorite!

Smokey, Rich, and Cool. If you like heavy Latakia you will probably like this. To my pallet It is not complex, and you don’t have to think about it. No Oriental or Perique to burn your nose. It smokes cool and burns cool. So, puff away.
Mis-labeled tin? Burley bomb.

I don't give negative reviews as a rule. Exception to the rule follows.
Popped the tin. No hint of Latakia in the note (75%, eh?). Nary a whiff of Latakia in the initial bowl.
Revisited it a couple weeks later. No change. What is this, Captain Bl... Read More

The inclusion of Virginia, omitting the orientals makes this blend different enough that you'll want this + Pirate Kake in your life if, of course, Lady Latakia has stolen your heart, as she has mine. This blend is utterly delicious, please C&D,... Read More
