Cornell & Diehl: Morning Light: Boker Or 2oz Pipe Tobacco

Product Number: 003-016-0288

Fans of Cornell and Diehl may not be familiar with William Serad, but they may know his work. A longtime friend of C&D founder Craig Tarler, the two were frequent collaborators. Serad is responsible for creating several classic blends such as Cross-Eyed Cricked and Red Carpet. William was also a friend of the rabbi Ira Stone, who loved Burley, Oriental and Perique mixtures and asked Serad to put together some blends for him. Those blends eventually became the Hebraica series, each featuring the rabbi's favored components. Each blend in the series was named by Stone, inspired by the language and spirituality of Jewish tradition.

Boker Or, or Morning Light in English, takes a base of rich Orientals and stoved Red Virginias and combines it with bold Perique and sweetened black Cavendish to create a balanced blend that pairs perfectly with a cup of strong coffee. In 2022, Cornell and Diehl established an exclusive partnership with 31 Farms to provide smokers with access to 100% St. James Perique, now included in every blend that contains the unique varietal.

A fantastic non aromatic
March 25, 2025
Product: Cornell & Diehl Morning Light: Boker Or 2oz
Smells great right out of the tin. Reminiscent of raisins, plums or dark fruit. Smokes very well and is extremely pleasant. Fruit flavors are there and still prominent but there is also a pleasant spice that accentuates the other flavors there. Very flavorful smoke and didn't need a lot of relights. I can't say enough about how the perique and the orientals work together in this blend....Read More
Hit or Miss Blend

Product: Cornell & Diehl Morning Light: Boker Or 2oz
As far as I concerned this is a true 3.5 stars blend. Orientals take the main stage providing certain overripe and musty taste, which I’m afraid I don’t enjoy all that much. Perique follows in close support providing its usual spiciness. Virginias and Cavendish add a bit of sweetness but I’m afraid I cannot really taste them in the mix.
Blend is not pipe dependent. Tasted pretty much the same in briar or meerschaum regardless of pipe shape.
I believe this blend is a hit or miss kind. It is really difficult to make any recommendations. I think that any lover of Oriental leaf should try it at least once to determine whether the Orientals here will suite his fancy or not.
Personally, there are other oriental blends that I prefer much more.

This is Bayou light, but not to light, but just right. Has a handsome aroma for a full flavor blend. It certainly would be nice to purchase this blend in a large tub.

The first time I tried this was one morning standing on the shors of Lake Champlain in Vermont, this tobacco in conjunction with a morning coffee or in my case earl Grey tea in the right environment, you will never forget, it's that good

This stuff never gets old, so I smoke it all the way down to its tasty, powdered ashes. Perfect nicotine level for a daily smoke, even great at night. Another one that tastes as great to smoke as it does to sip and savor.
Smooth and Balanced Oriental Blend

Product: Cornell & Diehl Morning Light: Boker Or 2oz
Lovely mahogany blend of finely broken flake and ribbon. Mild tin note of sweet dark hay, light earth and dank spice. Flavor is very smooth, with well-balanced components, backed with a modest, but clean, perique spice.
Good Morning Smoke

Product: Cornell & Diehl Morning Light: Boker Or 2oz
I am a crazy junkie for tobacco that pairs well with my cup of coffee for the morning. This hits the spot. So far my experience, if you smoke it without age, it provides that wonderful bread, yeast flavor that you like in those Virginia’s. But oddly enough, I let my last batch age for about 1 year and I smoked it again and the Perique became the star of the show this time. This was the same tin I smoked 1 year ago and it completely transformed with the Perique much more at present. Had very much lost the bakery flavor and tasted much more complex. Still beautiful and satisfying but different with age, I recommend for a beautiful morning smoke new and aged....Read More
Morning Smoke

Product: Cornell & Diehl Morning Light: Boker Or 2oz
It has a gently sweet and plummy VaPer base with a well conceived blend of velvety black Cavendish and what I think is Izmir (or Smyrna ) -- musty and muted. Put it one step to the sweet side of the line dividing sweet from savory. The black Cav used here is NOT the chalky, cloying, chemically stuff one sometimes encounters....Read More
