Cornell & Diehl: Night Train 8oz Pipe Tobacco

This was so unpleasant to smoke - just hot smoke, no flavour, like hot hair-conditoner fumes... I almost threw it away - much like I almost did with Elizabethan Mixture once. But I like to smoke the whole tin to be absolutely sure. The only occassion this was tolerable was on a perfectly still, cool evening. No wind, not too cold, not sunny - just cool and calm. It was OK then, and only then. It is filled with too much Perique, cigar smoke. Not nice....Read More

I really wanted to like this blend, but it's too Spicy for my taste. It's non stop spicyness. I think some time in the celler would do it good too.

I don’t know why but I went in to this experience not expecting much. I could not have been more wrong. This tobacco is sweet, spicy, smooth and just all around great. Everything just works! I’m buying a as much as I can get my hands on for the cellar and I suggest you do the same.

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 find the name to be a bit misleading. This tastes nothing like your mom on a Friday night....Read More

Love from first smell. Lemony, citrus, and sourdough bread. Flavor was wonderful! Bright lemony, citrus Virginia on top of a mild nutty burley. Flavor deepens as you smoke and the burley becomes deeper but the lemony, citrus hints of the brights, they stay through the whole bowl. The perique is noticeable nearing halfway through the bowl, mostly felt on retrohale. An excellent tobacco. I’m getting a 16oz. Brick! The key to this tobacco is age. It can be rough when fresh but get about 8 months of age and it really mellows out....Read More

good Tobacco

Not sure how this blend was, as described, 4 or more years ago when many of these reviews were entered. I ordered 1 lb in Jan 2024. It was dated Summer or Fall 2023. For me and my Star ratings...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. So, I've 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. Right now I only hope the rest I'm working on, loses the majority of its citrus taste over time. I expect to update this, when I do revisit this 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, review from me. (*Update*) I finally got back to this and upgraded it from 3★ to 4★. Based off of the first bowl I would give it 4.5★; gladly. But then I discovered it requires a dedicated pipe (the first pipe; Savinelli 316KS...a Rossi 8316 may be just as good). Because the second bowl of this, in a different briar, tasted quite nasty. So nasty, that if I had only smoked this in that 'nasty' pipe, during this one-year-later revisit, I would only give it 1★ to 2★. So, I will run Night Train through all of the rest of my pipes, now, and note which pipe/s will be dedicated to Night Train. Because I really enjoyed that first bowl in the Savi-316. Also, it seems better when gravity fed and then applying just a light bit of pressure when needed....Read More

Incredible blend, virginia and burley and cavendish melt together to produce a sweet and nutty yet smooth experience. Perique being the background player accentuating the va/burley/cavendish. Sweeter and smoother than haunted bookshop and perfect for a virginia lover!

I choo-choo-choose Night Train
