Review from a simple southern man
March 15, 2019
Product: Cornell & Diehl Interlude 2oz
I ran out of Carolina Red Flake, so I asked the C&D guys what they suggested to hold me over until a new batch comes out, and they suggested this one...just had my first bowl of it. Just to let you know, though, that I'm not some pretentious northern... Read More
hippie or hippie reject that fills their pipes with hay, field grass, etc, and smokes it, so your not going to get those sorts of descriptions from me; frankly, I don't know why you would want to smoke field grass, but apparently a lot of virginia tobacco smokers have. My first half bowl went like this...hmmm, interesting, mmm, nice...my second half a bowl went like this...mmm, dang, wow. Don't taste much honey in it, if at all to be honest, which is a good thing (probably). Good suggestion C&D, thanks. (I think the name of it is a little wussiefied though...I mean, Interlude? Come on guys.)
Update: So I've been smoking Interlude daily for about a year and a half now...and that should tell you how much I like it. Carolina Red Flake is still my favorite, but this is a very close second. Read Less
Very good virginia

Product: Cornell & Diehl Interlude 2oz
I don't detect the honey that much, it does provide a very subtle sweetness which works really nicely with the Virginias. If you like straight virginia, you will like this tobacco. The topping is very light so it doesn't overpower the smoke. Well wor... Read More

A Beautiful Red

Product: Cornell & Diehl Interlude 2oz
Love red VAs and this one is no different. Great bready/nutty flavors with just the tiniest bit of honey sweetness

a decent virginia choice

A good deal like Manhattan Afternoon , this is a very decent Virginia flake . The moisture level is right and the tin note is pleasing . A really good outdoor smoke this is a very nice C & D offering.
Very good, but not quite great

Product: Cornell & Diehl Interlude 2oz
After trying Carolina Red Flake I went looking for a good replacement that was in regular production. This one is quite good, but not quite everything I was hoping for. The flavor is excellent, if a bit too mild. The honey casing has smoothed the rou... Read More
gher edges, but has also toned down the flavor. I can't expect this to live up to the lofty flavor heights of Carolina Red Flake, but it did leave me wanting just a bit. A very good flake, but not quite as great as I want it to be. Read Less

Man, I am on one heck of a VA kick. I am very happy that I purchased this to give it a try. A naturally sweet red VA that is top shelf leaf enhanced with a light touch of honey (seriously light, you can hardly tell it was topped). the retro hale i... Read More

Different & Delicious
March 10, 2022
Product: Cornell & Diehl Interlude 2oz
Like sucking on a hard lemon tart candy made with a tiny drop of honey, Interlude strikes me as bright, tangy and citrusy acidic in a delicious way. It has a rough edge to it as though it's always threatening to bite but never quite does. The honey i... Read More
s more of a mild nuance that quietly compliments the tangy virginia. I'm really surprised at how much I ended up liking this. There's something strangely appealing about Interlude and I plan to order a few more tins. I imagine this pairing perfectly with iced tea or lemonade on a hot summer day. Not an all day smoke for me, but a welcome respite from my usual blends. Recommended. Read Less
Great tobacco, great pure Virginia

Product: Cornell & Diehl Interlude 2oz
Another very successful find! Great tobacco, great pure Virginia, flake. There is nothing outsider, nothing prevents you from enjoying the sweetness of Virginia. Will definitely be included in my rotation. One drawback - it is not sold in large cans ... Read More

Unique and Delcious
May 09, 2020
Product: Cornell & Diehl Interlude 2oz
My tin is dated 1/17/20. This is a great straight Virginia. It's unique in that it's not a fruit-forward straight Virginia flake that seems to be a popular way to blend Virginia flakes. It's smokey, earthy, malty, bready. It's easy to work with, tast... Read More

A little aged= soooooo good

Product: Cornell & Diehl Interlude 2oz
Fresh, it can be alittle harsh..., but with a bout a year of age, then air it out in a jar for a few months, and this blend becomes superb!!!! So delicious and smooth, sweet deep Virginia’s, slightly earthy, slightly woody in a cedar sort of way, and... Read More

Delightful smoke. Interlude has the expected Virginia bready note, with citrus, and darker fruit like fig. The honey adds a hint of extra sweetness in the background and is a nice compliment to the Virginia. It's a bit moist, so dry time will be need... Read More

When I want a tinned straight Virginia that's sweet but not boozy, I reach for this now.
It’s toasted
October 27, 2021
Product: Cornell & Diehl Interlude 2oz
It tastes toasted. Like slightly burnt toast. The honey you get is mostly in the upper back of your throat and like an aftertaste. It’s pretty good, maybe just a bit too bright for my taste.

Few days ago I called smokingpipes what would be a good counter part to Peter Stokeyebe luxury twist flake. Customer service recommended C&D interlude. I must say it's really delicious. I vaguely taste the honey, but it does remind me of luxury twi... Read More
