About This Pipe Tobacco
Arguably the most famous of Louisiana's antebellum mansions, and certainly the most immediately recognizable, Oak Alley is a splendid namesake for this cellar worthy, American standard from Cornell and Diehl. After establishing an impeccable partnership between sweet red Virginias and white/brown Burleys, discreet amounts of Perique and Katerini Turkish are added to enhance both the flavor, as well as promote the coolest smoke imaginable.

Cellaring Blues

I left to age. This tobacco was not my favorite when I tried it fresh. Not sure what it was, just didn’t care for it, maybe it was the harshness coming from fresh burley. True to its name, it needs to rest a bit. Now, 4 years later I am impressed with the metamorphosis. I think the biggest change at this point is the smoothness that time has imparted on Oak Alley. I smoked it in a Peterson Arklow 124 with a .70 chamber, great little pipe. This particular 124 is a pipe that I consider a favorite, especially for the price. Anyway, I digress. The perique and Virginia’s seemed to come to the forefront at this age for the Oak Alley. I plan to purchase some more of this blend and put it down for a little nap. I also plan to come back and visit/edit this review over time. I hope there will be higher marks for this blend in my future....Read More

Complex Mixture -- Spicy & Somewhat Bold

nd the Katerini are quite obvious standouts. This is a true mixture meaning that the different tobaccos exhibit their own personalities and flavors at different points in the smoke. In other words, the taste wanders and meanders--each puff can vary from the last. There is something to be said for consistency, but I enjoy blends and mixtures that change character as they're smoked. I detect a distinct spicy and tangy fruitiness on the tongue and in the aftertaste that might represent a light fruit topping, but it may be nothing more than the interaction between the Perique and the Katerini. I will say that this sensation of sugar and spice seems to dissipate slightly as I make my way through the tin.
This is a highly worthwhile mixture that deserves a 5-6 out of 10 for strength and a 6-7 out of 10 for flavor and taste. The aroma of the smoke is a bit less than savory--not unpleasant perhaps--just a little pungent. The nicotine content is fairly potent, but not substantial. This could be a regular smoke for some, however, I suggest that Oak Alley may prove to be at its best as a change-of-pace....Read More
