Cornell & Diehl: Daylight: Or L'yom 2oz Pipe Tobacco

Product Number: 003-016-0290

Fans of Cornell and Diehl may not be familiar with William Serad, but they may know his work. A longtime friend of C&D founder Craig Tarler, the two were frequent collaborators. Serad is responsible for creating several classic blends such as Cross-Eyed Cricked and Red Carpet. William was also a friend of the rabbi Ira Stone, who loved Burley, Oriental and Perique mixtures and asked Serad to put together some blends for him. Those blends eventually became the Hebraica series, each featuring the rabbi's favored components. Each blend in the series was named by Stone, inspired by the language and spirituality of Jewish tradition.

Or L'yom, named after the Hebrew for Daylight, is composed of a base of choice red Virginias, Dark Burley, and toasted black Cavendish sprinkled with Orientals and Perique. This easy-smoking mixture is mellow enough to be an all-day smoke while always offering an engaging and complex flavor profile. In 2022, Cornell and Diehl established an exclusive partnership with 31 Farms to provide smokers with access to 100% St. James Perique, now included in every blend that contains the unique varietal.

Very pleasing smoke!

Product: Cornell & Diehl Daylight: Or L'yom 2oz
I tried this on a whim while it was on sale. To me my bowl starts with a sugar coated nuts taste and even a sweet bread or cereal taste. As the bowl progresses I pick up a brown or burnt sugar taste. I don't pick up the perique so much but it with the orientals rounds out the Virginias for a wonderfully smooth and full flavor. It's easy to smoke with no bite and stays lit very well. The more I smoke this, the more I love it. Easy all day smoke. This is going to be a cellar addition for me and I suggest the sweet Virginia lovers try it. You won't be disappointed....Read More
Fascinating!

I'm still fairly new to pipe smoking and this is my first blend with Oriental leaf, so bare that in mind. But it's a fascinating blend! Complex. Constant shifting interplay of sweetness, nuttiness, savory quality especially toward the end, and this clean, subtle, and mellow spice. It's taken me time to dissect it. I wasn't sure how I felt about it at first, but I keep coming back to it. Update: Some of the most entrancing pipe smoking experiences I've had have been with this blend. It's just wonderful! This has become one of my top blends in my rotation. I’m primarily an English guy, but when I want a break from Latakia, this is my go-to. It’s just great! The sweetness of the Virginia is well complimented by the sour/spice/piquancy of the perique with some body from the burley. The orientals add some zest and extra dimension of flavor, adding to the complexity. The various flavors are all always present, but my attention shifts between them. This is a tasty, multidimensional blend. Mechanically, it packs and burns well. And it is so satisfying!...Read More

The archetype of Not Bad

Product: Cornell & Diehl Daylight: Or L'yom 2oz
Upon opening the can you might mistake the musk for stale and vinegared lemon. It's almost aggressive. But when lit, the initial odor undergoes a complete metamorphosis, to the point that you might've lit a candle.

At first, I rated this a 4.5. Then I smoked it a few more times and changed m
y rating to a 4. A couple weeks later, I'm dropping it to 3. I won't drop it again, but the further I've dug into the tin, the more I realize that I'm ready for this tin to be over and probably won't reorder this one, at least not for a couple years....Read More
Wow. Just Chocolate Goodness

Product: Cornell & Diehl Daylight: Or L'yom 2oz
This is absurdly delicious. It's exceedingly mild, just a tiny bit of spiciness. Get's a little annoying towards the end of the bowl, but is utterly delicious and has a great room note.
Silky and Comfortable

I was looking for something easy to have at 5am when it's still dark out and that I could continue to puff for bowl after bowl throughout the day. This is it. It is an odd duck in the sense that no tag really fits it (Not a VA, VaPer, English, etc). It just is.The Orientals and Latakia are far back in the background. They are just a hint and enough to accent the other tobaccos. The perique gives you a little bit of that tongue tingle and the rest all marry wonderfully together. Can be pushed a bit with no bite but does tend to get bitter if you push to hard. Packs & burns easily even in a massive bowl (Tsuge Tasting 23). Strength is very mild and the flavor is as well. If your a "lat bomb" or "burley" kind of guy this probably won't be for you. If you're looking for something mild and easy with coffee, tea or water, that you can go through bowl after bowl without getting mouth fatigue, definitely try this one. Wish they sold it in 8 or 16 oz cans....Read More

Tobacco The Way Adonai Intended

I must say, I was somewhat disappointed in this blend at first. I got nothing of the Perique or Turkish, and the Cavendish only appeared intermittently. It was all good tobacco, but that’s about it.

It really surprised me today. It seems the more I smoke Daylight the more the components color
my experience - the Cavendish is definitely present in every bowl. Now I can distinctly taste the melon tang of the Turkish, and won’t be shocked to discover in future bowls the musk of the Perique that no doubt contributes to the delightfully stout pepper in the retrohale. Given a chance and some attention, the pure taste and complexity of this blend really does shine like the Light of Day. In fact, I think Aaron could have burned this stuff in the tabernacle instead of frankincense and G-d would have been just as pleased. Wish they carried this in bulk! I’ll have to try the whole series!...Read More
Brilliant blend!

Product: Cornell & Diehl Daylight: Or L'yom 2oz
A bit of spice, a bit of muscle, a rich smoky flavor. Good to the bottom of the bowl. Just ordered three more tins so I won't be running out so soon. Best smoked in a Peterson 606 or something with a wide bowl. Can't find a bad thing to say about it. It's truly a masterful blend with a subtle fruity tin note, easy to pack and light cut and a slow burn. All this with a new pipe during break in. I'm amazed!...Read More

我在前段感受到可可或者是巧克力糖的感觉,慢慢的有一些颗粒感,我想这就是很多人说的胡椒吧,但是过鼻没有太大的压力,到了尾段我抽到了一些雪茄的味道,我认为我还会再买,一个刚接触一年半的新手的品吸报告
