In the Shadows of the Cellar
March 03, 2025
Product: Cornell & Diehl Gray Ghost 2oz
After sitting in a dark corner of the cellar for 2-3 yrs., this blend tells its secrets. Sipping and retro-haling bring a wafting fragrance that beckons. Yes, that sounds dramatic, but try it and see if you don't experience the same thing. You will want to chase the fragrant specter but don't chase too quickly. Let it come to you. This is a great after-breakfast smoke....Read More
Where's the cigar leaf?
May 09, 2025
Product: Cornell & Diehl Gray Ghost 2oz
I have had four bowls in a row of this blend and, I'm not sure if it was because I got a tin from a bad batch, but so far I haven't noticed any cigar leaf at all, just Virginias.
I'm giving 2.5 stars just because I enjoy Virginias, but the cigar leaf is completely absent.
It’s okay

Having smoked just about every cigar blend out there I can say personally this is nothing special. The tobacco looks like someone scraped it off the ground; looks dirty. It’s definitely cigar forward but it’s average stuff. It’s decent smoke I guess. You can find a lot better
Great for cigar lovers

This blend seems to get high marks. But guys its just bland and boring. It just fast like a cheap mild cigar. Sitting here smoking a bowl or seersucker and thinking you guys must have never tried it. Or if your thinking of it go on to the last page and get some seersucker and then thank me later when your not trying to get through a tin of this bland stuff...Read More
What complexity! What flavor! What obscurity?

Cornell & Diehl has such a huge selection to choose from that I still find surprises I've never heard of. No tobacco surprised me more than Gray Ghost. To be honest, I'm not a fan of cigars. I don't smoke cigars. I don't understand cigars. Every attempt I have made to enjoy them, even with help of aficionados, has left me scratching my head and returning to my beloved pipe. However, I LOVE the smell of cigars. The room note of cigar leaf does far more for me than their taste. Gray Ghost is a seemingly simple blend of Cigar and Virginia leaf. The blended ribbon cut is soft, dry, and perfectly ready for a pipe fresh from the tin. It packs effortlessly and burns moderately with very few re-lights. In most ways, I compare it to a Virginia/Perique blend that has a high percentage of Perique (probably around 25%, something like Bayou Morning) where you start to feel it in your throat in a good way knowing any more would be too much. Here the cigar acts in the Perique's stead to add spice and volume to the naturally sweet and slightly tangy Virginia. I assume the Virginia itself is a blend of Bright and Red leaf forming a nice foundation for the cigar to build upon. But, what sets Gray Ghost apart is it's room note. Yes, as pipe tobacco smokers, we rarely care about the room note, and may even have a hard time smelling the room note at all. Not so with Gray Ghost. I don't taste the cigar so much as I enjoy the aroma surrounding me while I smoke what is essentially a nice Virginia. The taste is predominately Virginia with a thicker mouth feel like you'd get from a more voluminous smoke, perhaps even Burley. But, combined with the smell of the burning cigar leaf, the overall experience is quite nice. I can't say what cigar fans would think of this blend. Maybe they find it an abomination, maybe not. As a pipe smoker, I enjoy it, and even if you're not a cigar fan, maybe you will too....Read More

This is far and away the best cigar leaf blend I've had, and I've had at least 5 others. It scratches the cigar itch without committing to an hour or 2 and at a tiny fraction of the price. Excellent quality cigar leaf and Virginias give a smooth, thick, creamy, rich smoke with some pepper and cedar on the retrohale. Notes of earth, leather, and nuts. Strength is medium full. It's a new favorite for me!...Read More

This one gets a 5/5 for me, especially because of creativity. It's an interesting twist on a virginia blend. Instead of the usual condiments, the cigar leaf, which I'm guessing is dominican colorado claro wrapper leaf, adds an incredible taste. It reminds me a great deal of the famous and over-priced Colorado claro cigar of Dominican origin, and what's interesting is that you almost can't taste the virginia at all unless you really slow the smoke down. However, if you push the heat a little, the cigar leaf really shines. As a cigar smoker turned pipe smoker, this really got my attention. Excellent blend....Read More
