Product: Cornell & Diehl Orient Express 2oz
New to Cornell & Diehl, I love their homage to HP Lovecraft with "Awakened Elder" I am an English smoker so I thought I would give this a try. This is a really smooth, creamy and solid English. Full of flavor and well balanced. If you a... Read More

Product: Cornell & Diehl Orient Express 2oz
My main traditional English blend is Dunhill's My Mixture 965. I've been a 965 fan for 25 years or so. I've dab around other good English blends. When I found out C&D was in my backyard, I asked head blender (Jeremy) since I like 965, what Englis... Read More
h blends he would recommend to me. 1 of the blends was Orient Express. Jeremy told me I may like this better than the 965. I must say, he's about right. Orient Express is neck to neck with 965. Very flavorful and I can taste all the components in this blend. Nice room note. I will be putting this in my rotation. Read Less
Bulk Buy Gem!

Product: Cornell & Diehl Orient Express 2oz
Bulk Blend Smack Down: This is a fantastic bulk buy! What stands out about this is the bang for the buck! The price point is a steal! For roughly 2.50/oz your getting a smoke that rivals many 4.00+/oz tins. Woot! Super tasty! No bite. Great balance o... Read More

Turkish Explosion

Product: Cornell & Diehl Orient Express 2oz
My favorite tobacco to date, rich, creamy, smooth, intriguing, bursting with Turkish leaves to satisfy that Oriental palate. Full flavored!
Underrated

One of the least talked about tobaccos that needs to be tried. Full flavored, smooth, just really worth trying.
Avoid at all costs

Product: Cornell & Diehl Orient Express 2oz
I hate to give bad reviews. Especially for a tobacco from a company that makes so many blends I really like. HOWEVER, this may be the worst tobacco I've ever subjugated myself to. I gave this an honest try with 6 or 7 bowls of the stuff through va... Read More
rious styles of pipes. I probably came close to smoking half of the tin, regretfully. It just gets worse every time. It's like smoking a burned gym sock that was soaked in roofing tar and antiseptic cleaners. I regret every bowl I smoked of this, and threw it away. Read Less
Did I get a bad batch?
March 21, 2021
Product: Cornell & Diehl Orient Express 2oz
If you like a bitter, flavorless smoke that won't stay lit, this is the one for you. I have to say I'm usually impressed by C&D. Their Oriental Silk is very pleasant, but the Oriental Express is a train wreck.
I will amend this review with a gra... Read More
cious whole star to say that it's not bad, it's just mostly nothing. I got a hint of chocolate off of the first hit in a different pipe...may have been the hemp and beeswax twine I used to light it. It has a bit if an acrid room note that's not horrible and was less bitter in this pipe. It's smokable, but why bother. Read Less

I don't usually review tobaccos but this one right here is in my opinion an overlooked blend that if you want to try a mellow, smooth easy smoking tobacco you owe it to yourself to give this one a try
Stale, Bland, Weak, Flavorless
August 05, 2024
Product: Cornell & Diehl Orient Express 2oz
Tastes like nothing. This is very weird. First, the ribbons are incredibly dry, because my tin was not vacuum sealed, like a Drucquer or Pease tin. That's also weird for C&D, which are usually vacuum sealed. No flavor upon lighting and none ever deve... Read More
lops in the bowl. It's like stale cigarettes. I'm so disappointed. I waited over three years to open this, and it's awful. Completely flavorless. It's not "bad", as to be bad it would have to taste like something. This tastes like nothing. Whenever I open a new tin of C&D I usually don't like it at first, so I jar it and come back in 2-3 months and it's better. I don't think that can happen here because the ribbons are bone dry with zero flavor to adjust. What a bummer. Half a star is a stretch. Read Less
Mild and strange
January 10, 2023
Product: Cornell & Diehl Orient Express 2oz
Mild English, slightly pleasant latex taste but hard to nail down, definitely sour, easy to smoke too hot so need to go slow. Not bad but not a go-to.
Product: Cornell & Diehl Orient Express 2oz
Finally a blend that gets compared to 965 that actually resembles it. This is a little less sweet than 965, but the cavendish is there smoothing it out.
This blend is rife with the tangy, sour Oriental flavors that I want in an English blend.

Simply stated; this is the best Balkan blend I have smoked since Balkan Sobranie 759 in the black and gold tin ceased being available.
Product: Cornell & Diehl Orient Express 2oz
Lots of good Oriental flavor in this one. It's like a stronger Early Morning Blend.
Damn good!

It is similar to Peterson My Mixture 965, but like a step up. A little stronger in nicotine, a little more full flavored and a little better all around imo!

Just finished my first bowl of Orient Express and am loving it. Rich smoke and great flavor. Have found another one to stock up on. Just hard to beat C&D. I make myself try other blends but nothing I have found so far beats a Cornell & Diehl ... Read More

I'm not a true English fan but this blend takes me an a journey I thoroughly enjoy.

First bowl of this rich blend. Tastes of plumb, apricot,spice and pepper. A rich harmony of flavors, light and earthy bouquet. Almost like a beautiful Cuban Cigar. I am in my home in Northern Thailand flashing back as if I were on the Orient Expr... Read More
