It really takes me back!

Product: Cornell & Diehl Montford Point Marine 2oz
Having served in the Marines, and spending some “quality time” at Montford Point, Camp Lejeune, this really takes me back in time. As a young Marine I didn’t smoke a pipe, but I did wake up each morning looking for something strong to get the blood p... Read More
umping. Unfortunately, back then all I had was some brutally harsh black coffee with some equally harsh cigarettes, but that became a comfort to me during my time in the Corps. Now this blend tastes nothing like a cigarette, but it has a kick to it that incredible, and at the same time it has a smooth quality to it that I can appreciate. The components come together remarkably for a very satisfying smoke. This is one you want to take your time on and savor. If you chug it you won’t catch the nuances of the latikia, perique, and the chewy quality of the burley. I usually smoke it in my smaller pipes, and I find that sipping on it brings out the best in it. I usually don’t stock up on tins because I would rather buy in bulk, but this is one that I stock up on. I have found all of the C&D brands to be exceptional, but this is even more so. If you like strong blends but also like a good tasting one, this is the one for you. Read Less
A fitting tribute

My parents were both Marines during WWII. I've had a serious interest in both subjects since I can remember, hence my attraction to this blend. To heighten the satisfaction of smoking it, I read Melton A. McLaurin's The Marines of Montford Point. I... Read More
t is a collection of oral history taken from the men who went through the Point and served as Marines in WWII, Korea, and Vietnam. Well worth reading for its eyewitness accounts of their experience at Montford Point and as Marines. Full attention is paid to their reactions to segregation there, in the civilian surroundings, and, until 1949, in a segregated Marine Corps. Throughout the recollections one cannot but be impressed by the fact that the larger percentage of these men wanted to be Marines because of their patriotism and also because they felt it was an opportunity to show that they were men of a people who deserved first class citizenship in the USA. I was generally aware of how things were in those days, but reading this book really brought home the reality in fine detail. Montford Point Marine blend is the perfect accompaniment to the story; strong, forthright, and satisfying. Read Less
As advertised.

Product: Cornell & Diehl Montford Point Marine 2oz
This blend is exactly as described, stout and at attention. I was extremely surprised at how smooth this stuff is yet it's pungent and strong at the same time. I would almost go as far as to say you could smoke it all day. The Perique really gives th... Read More
