Product: Cornell & Diehl Night Train 2oz
Night Train is a perfect American-style blend. It's got that nuttiness you expect from Burley, with considerable body added by the Viriginias, and the small amount of Perique in it is like pepper on a perfectly cooked steak. While others have rightly... Read More
pointed out that Night Train has a good amount of nicotine content, it's a blend that any seasoned tobacco smoker should be able to enjoy without being overwhelmed. It's not anywhere near as strong as C&D's Kajun Kake or Bayou Morning Flake. I gravitate toward mostly medium-strength blends, and I find this has just the right potency to be an "all-day" smoke, as it's not overwhelming in large quantities—at least not for me. This one goes in the category of "old timey" blends. There's no nonsense, no tricksy gimmicks, no fake flavors; it's just a great, expertly blended cake for the pipe. Night Train's room note will usually sit well with non-smokers' noses, and delight the pipers and smokers in your company. Additionally, aging this blend produces fantastic results. Finally, in the interest of fairness, I must admit that I'm a total Cornell & Diehl fanboy; I love their blends. For me, Night Train further cements C&D's reputation as my favorite blending house.

Not too shabby
April 25, 2018
Product: Cornell & Diehl Night Train 2oz
I am ammending my review on this blend, it has grown on me and I am buying it in bulk later today. Its a really decent smoke, not too sweet and makes for a good all day smoke. I would definitely recommend it.

Night Train 𝘪𝘴 tobacco

Product: Cornell & Diehl Night Train 8oz
Before I tried this tobacco a girthy man often told me “Night train 𝘪𝘴 tobacco”. This has become one of my favorite smokes. I’d buy this by the pound if it came in a tin instead of a bag. The only reason I can’t give this five stars is because I fi... Read More

A great kake with time
January 19, 2020
Product: Cornell & Diehl Night Train 2oz
This kake is a perfect example of how things improve over time. When I first smoked this fresh out the tin, the burley was fierce and at the fore, the perique was very peppery( which is not a bad thing) and the VA's were harsh. Fast forward a year, a... Read More
nd now this is a VaPer lover's delight. The balance between the elements is the best part of this blend. Now that the rough edges are gone, the sweet, hay and citrus of the VA takes center stage and forms the base, while the burley has learned its place, and provides depth and boldness , without biting or getting harsh. The perique has adopted the plummy , figgy characteristic, and provides great charachter to the balance. From my experience, lots of Vaper blends tend to over do the sweetness to balance out the perique, or to just mellow out the smoke. Night train has no detectable casings or toppings. To my palate, this is one has a very natural tobacco flavor.
So finally for the stars, I give it 3.5 stars fresh, and 5 stars after about 6months to a year of aging. Read Less

Product: Cornell & Diehl Night Train 16oz
Not sure how this blend was, as described, 4 or more years ago when many of these reviews were entered. I do see "citrus" mentioned more in the more recent reviews. I ordered 1 lb in Jan 2024. It was dated Summer or Fall 2023. For me and my Star rati... Read More
ngs...3 Stars is for those I found to be OK, but I am on the fence; on whether or not I would buy more of this. And 4 Stars is I will buy more to smoke from time to time. I cut the 1 lb brick into six squares. I put five squares in a 32 oz Mason jar, and applied but 5 inHg of vacuum with the Foodsaver Vacuum Sealer kit for jars. Enough vacuum to seal the Mason lid but still leave some air inside the jar for aging. The other one, square, I put in an 8 oz Mason and let it sit for a month. Today I sliced the single square into plugs; 3/8" to 1/2" thick. Ive had three bowls of it today and all I get is a high level of something of a tart citrus taste; after about the first quarter or third of the bowl. The first 1/4 to 1/3 of the bowl is just straight tobacco taste...and I like it. I have learned, in my short 1.5 months of piping, that I do get turned off when tobacco has an overpowering taste of citrus. As do all of the OTC/Codger blends I got, in 7oz tubs, that S.T.G. has acquired (Granger_Velvet_Paladin_SWR). I do hope S.T.G. never acquires Carter Hall. Right now I only hope the rest of the one square I'm working on, loses the majority of its citrus taste over time. I expect to know, when I do revisit the rest of this, 1 lb., in the years to come. Anyhow, for now, I did give it 3.0 Stars. Only because I do like the first 1/4 to 1/3 of the bowl. Otherwise it would've been a 2.5, or less, Star review from me. Read Less

Product: Cornell & Diehl Night Train 8oz
Tin note of stewed sour fruit, slightly tart, and Rasin. Tobacco is a brown Krumble Kake with a tiny amount of tan and dark brow. It breaks apart and rubs out fairly easy. It's not moist enough to need drying. Burn is moderate with few relights. The ... Read More
strength is medium and nic is medium. No flavoring detected. Taste is medium to full and mostly consistent, with notes of mild lemon, sweet grass, dry earth, mild ripe fruit, toasted bread, bitter nuts, very peppery spices, tangy raisin, mildly floral and a very peppery retro. Perique is leading with support from burley. Virginias are kind of doing their own thing while along for the ride. Room note is pleasant to tolerable, and aftertaste is great. Read Less

Burley Train Krumble Kake
November 26, 2020
Product: Cornell & Diehl Night Train 2oz
Nutty, earthy, tangy, and citrusy notes. Perfect cake to pack in any bowl. One of my best burley blend to date. What's not to love in those two pieces of easy to light Krumble Kake ? Recommended.
The C&D Express Comes Down Those Tracks Hard And Fast
November 12, 2020
Product: Cornell & Diehl Night Train 2oz
A freight train is plowing through the night. And I’m not referring to the night train Axl Rose sung of, or that rotgut red wine by the same name. This is a night train of the C&D Express, and it’s bearing bags of nuts (burley), containers of black p... Read More
epper (perique) and mellow herbs (Black Cavendish)—and bales of hay (Virginias). The tin note on this one carries a bourbonlike scent, and upon breaking apart the crumble cake within, to the eye there’s much bright Virginia to be seen.
This train is moving fast, powered by considerable shovels of nicotine into its oven. Its room note at its worst smells intermittently of cigarette smoke, but I find the flavor is more dominated by sweet Virginias than nutty burley or peppery perique. Not my favorite C&D blend, or the most flavorful, but surely a solid one worth trying, and reordering. 4.5 stars. Read Less

all a rather light tasting tobacco in my opinion. The addition of the Black Cavendish and Virginia mellow this one out and it's strong without being bold. Nice sweetness going on here with a pinch of pepper from the Perique and just a bit of nuttiness from the Burley. Very well balanced, and quickly becoming one of my favorite high nicotine blends when I need that extra oompf in my smoke. Read Less

一个下面头顶的发酵蛋糕,对,它问起来并不会让你觉得美味。这是一种酸涩的有着类似北京豆汁儿一样的酸腐味。别灰心,相信我,点燃它你就会得到你想要的。她是个中等浓郁,强度中等的混合物,饱满的青稞,黑豆,棉麻布,红色浆果的酸甜会刺激你的舌尖。中后段回口咖啡里边有一点点芝麻和松子仁,红色浆果的酸甜会更加长的表现,这个长是个对比,并不是汁水充足的那种。好购买,价格优,味道好,它完全符合一个口粮的标准,他还有8oz版本。相信我它值得长期持有。

If you are looking for sweet and spicy but not too spicy, this is a great pick. You will almost certainly enjoy the variety of tastes you get from a single smoke. Not an all day smoke for me, but a fun one to be sure.

se peppery-ness of the perique tamed a bit over the years. It wouldn’t have been a rotation blend otherwise. The virginias have come forward and all are in good balance with the warm, oaty, earthy burley. Worth a try. Buy a little extra and hide it away for a few years. Read Less

nice spice from the perique going on also. I didn't think I cared for it at first but by the third or fourth bowl I really started to pick up on the flavors.
