First of all i have to make some make this clear: Don't be irritated by 4 stars in strengh, that is just not true. Maybe 2-3 Stars, it is a pretty mild to medium tobacco. And "Middle of the Road English" is in my opinion not the right chara... Read More
cterisation of this blend. On the other Hand it's hard to characterise. Plantation Evening has big parts of typical C&D Virginia Flake, Perique, Oriental and just a hint of Latakia. The first pipe i have smoked i was irritated by the lack of Latakia taste. The second pipe I've smoked i "understood" the tobacco a little bit more. All different tobacco- parts a so perfectly combined that no part sticks out. It is melting together in a spicy, little smoky very harmonious blend. It reminds me very much G.L.Pease Chelsea Morning, where Latakia is also so well embedded. Not shure for which type of pipesmokers it is made- it's nevertheless a excellent C&D Blend. But a straight english smoker could miss a bit Latakia, and a VaPer smoker could be irritated by smoky background notes. However, it burns very well, and after you have finished your bowl I'm sure you reach out for another one. I recommend it to every Pipesmoker that likes natural Tobaccos. No matter if beginner or experienced. You MUST give it a try! Read Less
Chelsea Morning Match?

Product: Cornell & Diehl Plantation Evening Bulk
For latakia lovers – this won’t satisfy… for VA/Per lover’s the latakia is an annoyance. This is one that can’t make up its mind; is it a VA/Per or English? This is a sweet, mild, verdant mixture that resembles Pease’s Chelsea Morning. The perique i... Read More
s more noticeable than the Latakia, which is a whisper on most draws, but its smokiness is present enough to compliment the verdant, tangy/sour Orientals well. Nic is 2.5 - 3 out of 5. Read Less

A beautiful blend of Oriental and Latakia. Virginia and Perique support this. This is a gospel-like work for Latakia lovers. This blend is underestimated. Please become one of the reviewers as well. delicious.

I was a little iffy on this one when I first opened it.the smell was pretty standard with an almost fruity undertone to it but otherwise just smelled like an everyday English. It was a little more moist than I thought it should be too. I packed and l... Read More
it and boom first thing to hit was that fruity undertone. I couldn't place it... It's not like it's an aromatic.it instantly settled down to a nice mild English. I thought oh God it's gonna leave a pond in my pipe when it made a couple sizzling sounds early but no it was dry all the way to the bottom. About half way in a slight pepper note rose and faded back into the background.i forced myself to smoke slow because the whole time I only wanted more of this adventure. This was an outstanding blend and demands its place in my cellar. BRAVO!!!!👍👏👏👏 Read Less
Nice and soft English blend

Product: Cornell & Diehl Plantation Evening Bulk
I was looking for a mild English blend and this was recommended, and for sure it was the correct one. A soft English blend with different notes of latakia and oriental tobacco creates a nice atmosphere, together with perique and Virginia. Nice aromas... Read More
at the mouth and nose, with the characteristics of English blends but with a soft intensity. For a long smoke on a relaxed evening, for sure. Read Less

This has to be one of my favorite English blends that I have tried. I’m not a fan of the blends super heavily laden with Latakia most of the time, unless I’m in the mood and it’s a last-bowl-of-the-day. This, however, is what I would consider an ‘all... Read More
day English’. Just enough Latakia to make it a little smokey, a hint of Perique that isn’t too noticeable until the last third, and good quality Virginia’s in my opinion. Light enough to smoke consecutively, but overall a fantastic flavor. If you’re not a fan of English type blends because of the Latakia, I would still give this a try. I tried it in bulk, but I think I’ll grab a tin or two to see how it fares after a couple of years squirreled away. Read Less
Pure Bliss

This is a wonderfully balanced very tasteful English blend. No gunk or junk seems to me good Tobacco’s in their purest form. An absolutely lovely smoke.
Great stuff

Plantation Evening is a very flavorful light to medium English that's worth every penny that I paid for it. The Virginias used are, from what I can tell, mostly of the Red variety, as there is little in the sweet, high range in this blend. However, t... Read More
he Reds are used masterfully and well-proportioned with the Turkish and the Perique. There is Latakia in this blend of course, but it is used condimentally. I prefer when Latakia is used as in this way, personally.
Plantation Evening isn't a flavor explosion and it is definitely not a Lat Bomb. It is, however, an excellent medium English with all of the players recognizable, but working together in harmony. It hasn't won any awards, but it is definitely the English blend that I have smoked the most of and re-ordered the most frequently. On many occasions, I've found it more worthy than Samarra (which is a tobacco that I absolutely love). I've definitely enjoyed it every time that I smoke it. Read Less
A nice english with light latakia

Product: Cornell & Diehl Plantation Evening Bulk
Honestly the perique and orientals are the star of this show the latakia is really just in the back ground so expect a peppery smoke with hints of stone fruit and smoke slowly it will bite you

ok, just to say, I have been going through my cellar and pulled out a tin of this that I bought from smoking pipes in 2007, tinned 2-09-07, this is a mild english, the age might have something to do with that. Starts off good, getting some latakia ... Read More
coming through mixed with the perique, going to get some bulk and compare it with fresh, will give a update later Read Less

This a good mild English blend. Smokes nice and smooth. Half way down the bowl is when the perique really is flavorful. I recommend this blend for guys that has a perique passion.

Plantation Evening: Middle Of The Road Balkan

Product: Cornell & Diehl Plantation Evening Bulk
Brilliant Oriental leaf where Latakia and Perique are used only as condiments. Some of the best Perique flavor I have ever tasted. Good clarity and balance of flavors.
