Cornell & Diehl: Da Vinci 8oz Pipe Tobacco

If you love Latakia pick up a tin of Da Vinci. If you don’t love Latakia, still pick up a tin because you will be surprised. I loaded up a bowl and handed it to my dad (who hates Latakia) and said try this. He loved it! Do yourself a favor and get some Da Vinci

The Cyprian Latakia is the major component, offering a very smoky, woody, earthy, incense-like, mustiness with a little more sweetness than one often finds in Latakia. Just like the genius of Leonardo da Vinci himself, this tobacco concoction is extreme, controversial, unique and brilliantly excellent....Read More

I am loving this blend. It is exactly how I hoped it would be. Dark and smokey.

Such a wonderful smoke. The true conjurer of contemplation!

My tin of Da Vinci arrived with a tin of C&D's Engine #99. The tin note of #99 was, to me, a more remarkable aroma. I was a bit surprised Da Vinci didn't have a more robust presence. I lit my first bowl this afternoon. The Latakia was definitely present, but I didn't find it overpowering. I think the addition of burley and Virginia leaf added some subtle, pleasant softness which married well in the mix. I really like this blend. If you like latakia heavy blends, give this one a try....Read More

If you like latakia you’ll love this , this is one of my favorite all day smokes , it smokes great right from the tin in just about all my pipes . No complaints at all and I’ll defiantly order more

on the nose: very strong dark smell, at firt light it was very consistent, once I got quarter down the bowl I got this stouty, chocolate milkshake taste that I couldnt get out of my mind, went and paired it with a stout beer and both go well together. its a desert smoke for me, I wonder how well it ages....Read More

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 detected. 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 More
