Super-Enjoyable Blend!

I found King Cake to be top-shelf excellent in every way. I'm always on the look-out for complex, mutlidimensional "aromatics"... ones that let true tobacco flavors and aromas shine as boldly or more so than other flavoring agents. King Ca... Read More

Product: Cornell & Diehl King Cake 2oz
This blend is top notch and one of my new favorites! To start off, I love aromatics. I also love the Virginia/Perique blends or the "vapors". The vapor blends have a spicy and sort of leather like flavor which comes off as strong. My favori... Read More

I cracked a tin of King Cake at the start of Carnival Season this year. The tin note really does smell like king cake, so much so that it took me back to mardi gras past, eating some breakfast king cake from Sucre in my treme rental house on fat tues... Read More

This is just a great tobacco. I really enjoyed smoking it and those around me loved the room note. I would call it a mild relaxing smoke full of interesting flavors that isn't overly sweet. I will be stocking my cellar with as many cans as possible ... Read More

I'm not a big aromatic smoker other than navy blends. This is similar to that with some extra flavorings. Quality tobacco. It's nice to find a milder C&D blend. Usually they hit you over the head with nicotine. This blend is mild but has substance. I... Read More

Look. This stuff is delicious. If you smoke a pipe and like great quality tasty tobacco than buy some. It’s delicious. I’m not doing the whole explanation of nuances in flavor here. This is an aromatic that doesn’t seem like an aromatic.... a VaPa Ar... Read More

Once again, an aromatic with zero flavor. Smells AMAZING! Tastes like nothing. Not much aromatic flavor and almost no tobacco flavor either. I need one or the other; pick one and give it to me.
Its ok

Can definitely taste the cinnamon spice of the perique. I wouldn't call it an aromatic because I didn't think it smelled all that good. Smelled better in the tin.
great

Tin note of Nutella, rum and fig newtons. Tobacco cut is Krumble Kake, the chunks of tobacco are marbled light brown, medium browns and a little dark brown. Tobacco breaks apart easily and rubs out fairly easy, it is also a bit moist and probably cou... Read More

Frankenberry?

Product: Cornell & Diehl King Cake 2oz
Never had New Orleans King Cake before, so I wasn't sure what to expect. The notes I get are strawberry, possibly Frankenberry cereal. Good mechanics, easy smoke, very pleasant.
Give it a chance, and time

Originally, I didn't care for it. But the more I dried it out, it really grew on me. There is a definite note of sweet raisin, but it's not overpowering. It's barely an aromatic, I mean, its an aromatic for non-aromatic smokers. The flavors are rich ... Read More

I was gifted this by a good friend and I appreciate the gift wholeheartedly. However, this tobacco won't be made a permanent member of my rotation. I like a good topped tobacco and most "aromatic" blends that contain full tobaccos without t... Read More
don't expect sweetness

The blend adds perique and orientals that don't allow the sweetness of the cavendish to come out
Too much strong.

I think is more strong than other reviewers says. Probably, more Perique than necesary... I go to celar a few years.
Tasty

This stuff is amazing, just enough topping to let the tobacco's shine through. Not overly sweet but it's there, all tobacco's play well together with the topping. Gets a lot of compliments on the room note. Going to cellar deep.
Not bad

Being from Louisiana i think i may have held my expectations a little higher than normal but overall a very enjoyable blend.
Great smoke

Ok, I know C&D says this will peak between 10&15 years. I still had to open and try it. King Cake is very good now but I think I will jar this cake for a while and order a second one for 2027.
