Surprised

Ordered a tin after a freak out of the Mac Baren Sutliff debacle that caused a large order of my favorites. Cellar 10-15 years is the suggestion, made it 15 minutes. Not going to go crazy here with all the subtle nuances available in this blend. First off hay is the strongest for me in the tin. Wife tells me she wants to bite it. Very enjoyable and will add this to my regular rotation. Sweet from casings, sweet from tobacco, earth flavors as well as alcohol from rum and the rum at the bottom. Good work, keep it up, we need great blenders now more than ever. Update. Smoke this with my new cob woodsman with 1792 whiskey to sip on and WOW!!!! The slight back of the tongue whiskey aftertaste is pulled away from a bath of cool smoke, while a touch of spice hits the tip of your tongue from perqiue?, and pulls the whiskey farther. Damn, taking the wife to bed now....Read More

A high quality aromatic
December 24, 2024
By: Brandon A.
Product: Cornell & Diehl King Cake 2oz
I was pleasantly surprised by this one. It tastes like a birthday cake in your pipe without being sickly sweet, cloying, or artificial. The tobacco are not totally drowned out of the equation, bringing some simple light, grassy Virginia and oat like burley flavors. The topping does fade a bit towards the end but if you smoke this blend nice and slow like you would a straight Virginia it will reward you. The tobacco was dry enough to smoke directly from the tin. I don't smoke many aromatics but this one won a spot in the cellar as a great occasional sweet treat and change of pace option....Read More

Down Right Tastey

I am always on the hunt for a light/not terribly sweet aromatic to break up my routine of English, Balkan, and Dark Kentucky blends. The Perique is something that draws me into these Louisiana style blends. The Perique is forward for my palette. and that is from a very intimate experience of smoking C&D's long cut perique meant for blending but as a bowl by itself. if you don't understand perique then I highly recommend buying an ounce and having a small bowl, and also cut it up and use it as a flavor enhancer in your favorite tobaccos.
this blend is sweet but not overly sweet. it is a round flavor that is sweet, savory, and a touch spicy....Read More

Wonderful
February 03, 2025

Product: Cornell & Diehl King Cake 2oz
Just got a tin and opened it up, simply wonderful as is, really no need to age it.
Spicy, sweet, delicious with the flavor of cinnamon that develops as you smoke it.
Put a few nice pinches in my MM 155th Bronze edition, and sipped it.
Starts out nice and smooth, then gets bold and spicy with the flavor of a King Cake, cinnamon, raisin, and a bit of rum....Read More

It's just not that great

Product: Cornell & Diehl King Cake 2oz
Another overhyped aromatic. This one was a miserable smoke for me. Sour tasting and got real hot real fast. A freind of mine tried it and liked it alot so that's why it's getting 2.5 stars. I would not purchase it again.

Taste like it smells
August 10, 2023
By: Nae
Product: Cornell & Diehl King Cake 2oz
I made a King Cake, ate the King Cake, and figured try this tobacco.

Tin note is a freshly baked King Cake with icing and sprinkles. Kid you not. The taste is bready virginias, raisins, and sweet and spice (like cinnamonish), just like a King Cake!

I kept this in the tin, cellared, for 7 ish months. I can't tell you what it would have tasted like brand new but it tastes just like it should after sitting.

Highly recommend!...Read More

great

Product: Cornell & Diehl King Cake 2oz
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 could use some drying. Burns moderate with normal amount of relights. The strength is mild-medium and nic is mild. Flavoring is mild, with background notes of spiced rum, overly ripe plums, and sweet nuts. Taste is medium and mostly consistent, with notes of tangerines, ripe fermented fruit, lemon grass, pumpkin spice, dry earth, stewed Rasins, maple, mild cedar and moderately peppery retro. Virginias are leading with Izmir supporting. Cavendish is keeping pace but remains in the back. Perique is all over the place. Room note is pleasant, and aftertaste is great....Read More

Product: Cornell & Diehl King Cake 2oz
I'm from Montréal and know very little about the new Orlean tradition of the king cake. what I do know on the other hand is that I bought 4 tin and will need to buy WAY more! the flavours and aroma remind me of my grand mother " pudding chomeur" or " sucre a la creme aux noix" its a real treat. the room note will attract people. the taste is a sweet round creamy nutty. I enjoyed it in a crowded sidewalk sale, had lots of compliments...Read More

FANTASTICALLY DELICIOUS

Product: Cornell & Diehl King Cake 2oz
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 Aromatic hybrid. If you don’t dig it. Then more for me lol...Read More
