A solid, basic VA smoke
June 15, 2026
Product: Cornell & Diehl Opening Night 2oz
I'm a serial enjoyer of VA flakes. Opening Night is an uncomplicated but pretty satisfying example of the breed. Lighting a bowl, I tend to get the expected VA fruitiness but also a hint of a kind of bitter burley flake, which is not unpleasant. I've finished my second fresh tin of this and I find myself drying it out indoors for a few hours on a paper towel, then rubbing it out. I also find myself using this as the basis for a blend as it's rather monochromatic by itself. I have had good luck adding oriental-forward blends like Gray Ghost and even Burley Flake and Briar Fox to spice it up a bit....Read More
Excellent Virginia

Product: Cornell & Diehl Opening Night 2oz
Very smooth and flavorful. Super easy to prepare kind of soft,light and burns well anyway you stuff it in the bowl. If you like Virginia tobacco don't hesitate to hold congress with this leaf.
Better than Capstan Blue

Product: Cornell & Diehl Opening Night 2oz
For years I tried every Virginia I could find and landed on capstan blue as a favorite. Once Mac Baren was sold, I discovered Opening Night was cheaper, just as good, and under my nose the entire time. If you like virginias at all, I suspect you’ll love this.
VS Union Square :)
March 28, 2026
Product: Cornell & Diehl Opening Night 2oz
It is quite similar to Union Square but ... if Union Square is white sugar cane, Opening Night is more brown sugar. Also Opening Night is more peppery, complex and vegetal. I can not say it is better, I also rated Union square at 5 ... but I have a very slight preference for Opening Night (because at the end of the box, after smoking Union Square 2 weeks I was a bit bored to it) In conclusion, I highly recommend. It is just a great virginia. This is the kind of virginia I love when I don't really like virginia like Peterson flake style for example....Read More
Easy everyday smoke
May 02, 2026
Product: Cornell & Diehl Opening Night 2oz
This blend is not loud, it’s not in your face but there is a purity that come with its simplicity. Very Smooth blend with a sort of creaminess to it. Notes of cereal like grape nuts with some sugar sprinkled on top, some very light lemon, hay, and tea. Honey graham crackers I can definitely agree with. And like I said smooth the smoothness is very pleasant. An easy smoke that will definitely be an everyday blend for me from now on....Read More
