A Little Much

I like Exclusive well enough, but the nici is a little too much for me. It’s a good English and I can see why the ratings are so good. But for me it’s the Perique. I like it in small doses but for me it’s just too much. For those who love Perique this is perfect. But there are others I like better. Just my honest opinion....Read More
Very nice....could be a regular. (*Updated*)

(*Updated*) Bumping it now, already, from 4.5★ to 5.0★. This blend has quickly earned a spot in my Top Five and I want it often. If this were the only pipe tobacco available...I wouldn't be at all sad. I plan to order more of this...soon. Also, it doesn't taste the same in all pipes. For this reason, I recommend trying Exclusive in a number of your pipes; if you have them. (*Original Rating/Review*) What I have recently received is very nice and could end up being a regular; but it is freshly made. I have one unopened 2 oz tin, I received in early '24 (likely produced in the second half of '23) and this recently ordered 16 oz (dated Mar. 25, 2026); which I am currently trying out. This rating is based on the 16 oz dated: Mar. '26. Tobacco Reviews (TR) has an average rating for this at 2.97/4; equivalent to 3.75/5. The TR comments all seem to do a lot of comparisons of this to other blends. They can't seem to help themselves. And there's an overuse of "I taste blah blah blah?" in their comments. But I don't eat "figs, plums, manure, grass, hay, stewed fruit, raisin bread, mushroom," and more; not on the regular anyway. So I am not going to say it tastes like any of those. And what does "musty, woodsy, dark, or muddy" even taste like? So anyhow, I give it an initial rating of 4.5★ for being very nice; between good and excellent. It tempts me to open the one 2 oz tin, I have, that is over two years aged. But I'll refrain for now. I love the flavor of this blend, the excitement I get when tasting every puff, and that it isn't overpowering in any way. I would not have expected it to be a VaPer w/Cav though. So I can see why so many might be comparing it to other VaPer's. But I don't buy tobacco to taste like others. If I enjoy another...I'll just buy the other. What I want is to try unfamiliar-to-me blends. To see what each has to offer, on its own; separate and uniquely from all others. Exclusive fits that to a 'T'. Will probably be upgrading my rating to 5.0★ real soon...it's just so good!...Read More

Product: Cornell & Diehl Exclusive 2oz
Note: The tin this review is based on was 5 years old I really enjoyed this tobacco. It's not really like anything else I've personally tried, so I can't exactly give a good comparison. And I suspect the age did it a lot of good compared to a fresh tin. 
 It was just a strong rich complex flavor. Not something for everyday, and the nic hit was very present. It's very much worth a try, though I expect it won't be for everyone. Also, it wants to bite. It's not an absentminded smoke, but more of a meditation on itself. Really glad I stashed some away....Read More

Needed to add red Virginia ribbon to the ounce sample I had purchased just to be able to smoke it. Otherwise without it, it tastes bitter. No thanks.

This Virginia ribbon is comprised of 50% Perique, married with a mixture of golden cavendish and Red Virginia, resulting in aromas of strong vinegar, Smokey ketchup, cola, pepper. Appearance is nice with evenly cut ribb
ons that span from tan to reddish brown.

Sampled in a MM Missouri Pride.

I never thought of drinking a glass of sweet tea with a tablespoon of black pepper in it - but I might now - because this is delicious.

Unabashedly proud perique that you feel in the nose almost like wasabi initially that transforms to the sweet hay and tangy Virginia.

Is it VaPer , or PerVa if the Perique is the most dominant component?

No matter what you call it , Exclusive delivers a rather neat full flavor of spicy sweet goodness.

I found it very enjoyable- and the Virginia tang was just enough to me to identify it as quality red Virginia.

This is a blend with a strong aroma from the bag that delivers on taste.

I’d be really curious to see two variants of this:
1) I’d like to have it pressed dense and sliced into flakes and 2) juuuuuust a pinch of Oriental to span the divide.

Both of those are folly though - this mix does not need fixing - it is perfect as it arrives.

My rating :5

This is the 78th of 101 C&D Bulk blends I am reviewing for this project.
