Sweeter than Constellation and Less Latakia
July 28, 2022
Product: Cornell & Diehl Old College Bulk
I like this! This closely resembles Constellation, though it's more mellow, definitely sweeter and has less latakia. The burley can get a bit bitter towards the end, but smoked cool will help alleviate that. Whereas Constellation has a bold earthy/smoky profile that can be heavy on the tongue, Old College is essentially Constellation that's been mellowed by the abundance of cavendish, which allows for a lighter mouth-feel, body, and thinner flavor profile. A note on that sweetness: sweetness from the cavendish is different than say a virginia... it's less sharp. That difference is akin to candy (virginia) vs a pear (cavendish). Definitely an all day smoke. Nicotine is 2 out of 5....Read More

Based on the description, I was expecting better. Bland, boring, and no flavor to speak of.

Old College starts out with a toasty/smokey/nutty sweetness to it but then as the bowl progresses, the blend becomes incredible bland after the first 3rd of the bowl. tastes like ash and burns hot.

Mine could have had a bit more moisture but it was okay. The aromatic quality was very faint but noticeable. Semi smokey, no bite.
Thought This Was An Aromatic?

Product: Cornell & Diehl Old College Bulk
Okay, so the description says, "a delightful fragrance for the crowd." Mine has absolutely no aromatic qualities aside from the latakia. I have a feeling the 2oz I ordered were old, because it was VERY dry (to the point of being crumbly as dry leaves), and I think the aromatic essences had long dissipated. That left this being just an okay English blend for me....Read More

Like many pipes smokers, I try different blends, and that's how I discovered Old College. Usually I prefer moderate aromatics that have some pop to them. This one seems to be a nice non-aromatic blend, not overly strong or bitey, lots of flavor and a comfortable smoke. After trying 2oz. I bought more and gave some to my son-in-law. I recommend it for aromatic smokers who are inclined toward the strong English blends but want something a bit more alive and edgy without overdoing it....Read More
