Rich Vir/Pe blend
May 20, 2018
Product: Cornell & Diehl Poplar Camp Bulk
If you are a fan of Bayou Morning, this blend contributes to the diversity of your tobacco rotation. Compared with solid taste Bayou Morning, Black Cavendish is blended and the content of Perique is small. So, this blend is finished in rich, smooth, ... Read More
tasty smoke. The strength of Perique does not change so much, giving the taste wide possibilities. Read Less
A New Favorite
February 21, 2017
Product: Cornell & Diehl Poplar Camp Bulk
This is surely one of, if not my new favorite. I have been enjoying Bayou Morning, but always thought it would be interesting to know what it was like with some black cavendish, so I tried this. It is quite similar to Bayou Morning, but has a bit mor... Read More
e richness and complexity; maybe even a bit more strength. The smoke is thick, spicy, but still sweet with a great after taste. Also, there's no shame in relighting, it's part of pipe smoking, but it is a pain... This blend often burns all the way to the bottom for me with no relights - very nice!
If you love VaPer's, as I do, you definitely need to give this a try. Read Less
Perique lovers
March 11, 2018
Product: Cornell & Diehl Poplar Camp Bulk
Lots of spice but not completely overdone, great nose hair burning retrohale. Well balanced body with some deeper complexity than expected. This is more than just a one trick pony. I will be keeping this one around at all times.
Good and Spicy

Product: Cornell & Diehl Poplar Camp Bulk
Solid quality Vaper that ages into something amazing. The hint of unflavored cavendish pops up here and there to keep things interesting.

Well Built, Consistent, Satisfying
March 13, 2022
Product: Cornell & Diehl Poplar Camp Bulk
Poplar Camp was a suggestion made by a dear friend, and it was a good one! It's about as straightforward as it gets for a VaPer, but... they had a good idea to smooth this one out with a little black Cavendish. Always liked the nice rounded flavor ... Read More

Another C&D Sleeper
July 27, 2019
Product: Cornell & Diehl Poplar Camp Bulk
Fans of Haunted Bookshop and Pegasus who enjoy Virginia blends more than Burley's will almost certainly find something good in Poplar Camp. Although C&D makes Burley blends better than Virginia blends, this is definitely worth a shot if you've tried ... Read More
their older blends and enjoyed them. I figured that the flavor of this would be similar to Bayou Morning blends, but it's not. It seems to have more bright Virginia, whereas red Virginia is very apparent in Bayou Morning. I found Poplar Camp to be more balanced in that respect, however this could be a result of the black Cavendish (despite containing so little of it). Finally, this is undoubtedly one of the strongest C&D blends I've ever had, so buckle your seatbelt. Read Less

Good Predictable VaPer
April 17, 2015
Product: Cornell & Diehl Poplar Camp Bulk
I've been enjoying Bayou Morning for a year or so. Poplar Camp is a good tobacco, but it lacks the touch of sweetness that I like so well with Bayou Morning. I definitely recommend Bayou over Poplar, unless you dislike bit of sweetness.
Excellent

This is to me is like a lighter version of Exclusive with a more pronounced sweetness and less Perique - still it’s gotta good nicotine hit. A really nice smoke. Buying more

Very Good Va/Per Blend

Tried at the behest of Jeremy Reeves himself
August 28, 2021
Product: Cornell & Diehl Poplar Camp Bulk
After a brief email correspondence with Jeremy Reeves (head blender at C&D) I was very much looking forward to trying this blend. Alas, there just wasn't enough in the flavor department for a return visit.
C&D Sleeper?
May 11, 2021
Product: Cornell & Diehl Poplar Camp Bulk
Yep. This is good fresh, but man... with these golden VAs, this is gonna age to something next level. Excellent quality; a true high-quality bulk blend, which is rare among most houses, but not C&D. C&D makes the most nuance rich blends with a pur... Read More
e, unadulterated flavor. This is a fresher version of a VA/PER flake. Instead of fermented bready sweetness, it's more grassy and refreshing. Beware, it'll bite as the brights are sharp and sugary. Much easier to keep lit than a coin or flake, but the tradeoff is again, less bready and fermented sweetness and more sugar. The Perique is minor and offers just a touch of spice. The unsweetened black Cavendish, which has the characteristics of the old blending houses, and which C&D does so well, adds smooth creaminess which goes so darn well with the fresh, sharp, grassy VA and slightly spicy perique. Definitely one to cellar and will most assuredly get even better with age. Nicotine is 2 out of 5. Read Less
Too much perique for my liking
April 11, 2021
Product: Cornell & Diehl Poplar Camp Bulk
I'm not the biggest fan of perique, if there are small amounts of it in a blend i can normally appreciate it, but if it's overdone, even by a little, that's all i seem to be able to focus on. And this is one of those blends, where it is just overdone... Read More

Perique a little overdone
April 03, 2021
Product: Cornell & Diehl Poplar Camp Bulk
Greatly improved by the addition of some straight Virginia - 25 to 50 percent. With that done, a solid 5 stars. Very tasty, the stuff of dreams.

I am a Bayou Night fan. When I made my last order that was out. So on recommendation of a friend so ordered Poplar Creek. I am so glad I did. It prov9ded a good change of pace. In terms of VA/Pets I have tried and liked. Peter Stokebye' s Bullseye fl... Read More
ake. Loved it and the coin delivery . Poplar Camp is great in that the smoker can take time to notice it's nuances ( the peppery perique, the taste of being in a bakery and the rounding effect of the black cavendish). Yet Poplar Creek can be a really good all day smoke. Read Less

Prime For Perique Fans, And Not A Perique Bomb
September 26, 2020
Product: Cornell & Diehl Poplar Camp Bulk
Now this is some good stuff. Perique is blended with the Yorktown, increasing complexity and flavor, but it’s not pushed to the point of peppery overload. The blend is as pleasing to the eye as to the tongue: all bright haylike Virginias, dark Cavend... Read More
ish and dark burleys and darker Perique. This combines to make a pleasurable smoke, and in my mind I’m 29 again, camping with my pals back on the shores of the Ammonoosuc River, puffing my corncob under the canopy of birches and poplars. Read Less
Best Bang For Your Buck VaPer
May 03, 2020
Product: Cornell & Diehl Poplar Camp Bulk
An underrated (or at least undervalued) Va/Per blend. It starts off with a respectable Virginia base, Yorktown. The Yorktown portion of this blend delivers rich, bready and dark fruity notes (which is heightened with the perique in this blend). The c... Read More
avendish does what it usually does in non-aro blends; it slightly smooths off the rough edges.Outside of that, it is little evident. The Perique is strong yet not over powering.
This isnt an unique blend nor does it win awards for "Best in category". However it certainly is a top "bang for your buck" VaPer smoke and is one you can puff away on without having to concentrate on flavors or keeping it lit. I added a bit of Old Dark Fired to it for a little more "kick" with amazing results.
So if you are looking for a bulk VaPer blend that wont break the bank and can round out your rotation, this is a winner. 7.5/10 (I gave Yorktown a 7/10) Read Less
Va/per at its best

Yorktown with a kick
November 21, 2019
Product: Cornell & Diehl Poplar Camp Bulk
This blend takes Yorktown and adds a bunch of perique for a spicy kick. I prefer my Virginias pretty straight, but if you want a vapor with bite then this one might fit the bill for you.
Product: Cornell & Diehl Poplar Camp Bulk
This isn't bad but doesn't really stand out in any way for me. The virginias are good. A nice balance of brights and reds. I get the spice from the perique but not a lot of perique flavor. Im not a fan of black cavendish so i can pick it out in blend... Read More
s fairly easily and while i do taste it in this blend i actually think it helps. If it was not present i feel like the blend would be a little acrid or ashy tasting. It definitely adds some rounded sweetness which is needed. In the end I am glad i tried it and would not turn it down if offered to me but will not go out of my way to order more. Read Less
Good, but not Great
March 02, 2019
Product: Cornell & Diehl Poplar Camp Bulk
