Product: Cornell & Diehl Rajah's Court 2oz
The description compares this to Dunhill's Durbar, I would go so far to say that the two are similar blends with different characteristics. Where Durbar is, to me at least, a bit more rounded and smooth, Rajah's Court has quite a bit more edge to it... Read More
. Not at all a bad thing, just different sides of the same palette of flavors. I would recommend this to those who like the flavor and aroma of Orientals. Read Less

A perfectly balanced blend. A definite keeper.
Love it!

Product: Cornell & Diehl Rajah's Court 2oz
This is a really good blend! The Orientals are right up front and the Latakia really brings it all together for a full, complex smoke. There is a good deal of sweetness from the Virginias. Overall, the balance of this blend is perfect and the nicotin... Read More
e content is exactly what I like. I'm always so relaxed and happy when smoking this blend. As soon as I finish a bowl I immediately want to start another! Read Less
Product: Cornell & Diehl Rajah's Court 2oz
First bowl from the fresh tin didn't impress. The 'Ginnies & Turks seemed too forward. Revisited it today. Oh my, what a couple weeks did for it.
A near perfect marriage of elements, with a slight edge to the Latakia. Mellow, easy on the palette.

Put me in memory of a long gone fave, Sullivan's OO blend from some 50 years ago (back in the day when your local brick & mortar tobacconist was one's sole guide through the plethora of leaves; when Balkan Sobranie was as common as Captain Black). Read Less

I try a lot of blends and I am always on the lookout for the "perfect" everyday smoke. This is it for me. It burns well, moisture level is perfect and it's a nicely balanced mixture. I love it.
Rajah's Court is a great blend

This is a very good English blend with noticeable flavor from the Orientals. Just what I was looking for and will get some more. Anyone who enjoys an English will like this one too.
Just like Esoterica Margate

Product: Cornell & Diehl Rajah's Court 2oz
I didn't like Esoterica Margate at first but didn't understand the flavors as being from Oriental tobacco. I started trying more Oriental based/containing blends and really like them. Once I tried Rajah's Court I am hooked. I love the flavor profi... Read More
le as the tobaccos go well together. Yes it is an English with all the usual flavors but this is more of the incense-like flavor that others compare it to. Makes for a light to medium flavor, light on smoke, and no nic-hit. I enjoy other English and Balkan blends but this is my newest favorite and will definitely get more. It has the same components as Margate and tastes the same to me. So if you like the Esoterica blend this would be a perfect substitute. Enjoy! Read Less

Fell in love with this when I first smoked it. It is a mild balkan in my judgement. The orientals are always prominent, but in a perfect balance with the virginias and light dose of latakia. The room note is superb, bringing back memories of passing... Read More
tobacconists in the shopping mall and catching the leathery and somewhat musty aromas pouring out into the courtyard! My love for it still grows. Good all day smoke, sharp and rich. Read Less
Product: Cornell & Diehl Rajah's Court 2oz
This is a nice blend of tobaccos, but for some reason this came across as very strong. The taste is complex, and (for me at least) is best in small doses.

Im a person that struggles a bit when it comes to finding a good latakia containing blend. This one really is the Perfect english blend for me. Its got the right amount of latakia in it to make sure that it lets itslef be known, but isnt over power... Read More
ing. I highly recomend Rajas Court for anyone who is first getting into english blends, its a little more on the sweet side with the virginias, and really stays consistent throughout a bowl Read Less
Perfect Balance

Product: Cornell & Diehl Rajah's Court 2oz
Just opened a tin dated '09 this morning & have tried it in 3 pipes already: a narrow, conical-bowled gr 4 full-bent meer, an old H&B Irwin Cobb half-bent, and a "disputatious" MM straight-up cherry-wood. All smoked great, started o... Read More
ut with a real Oriental spicy hit, switched to Va sweet pretty quickly w/ spicy overtones in & out, Lat came through about 1/4 bowl & drifted in-out-in all the way. The great thing about all these is that the BALANCE was about as perfect as can be. I'd call it on the light side of medium, but an all-around superb all-day one. Read Less
Rajah Court-martialled!

Product: Cornell & Diehl Rajah's Court 2oz
Rajah did not live up to its reputation. The faint background ambiance was fine but the smoke left a lot to be desired. Hence reaching out to Savinelli aromatic and my other steady favourites.
Even airing did not help much. One positive was that it d... Read More

Earthy oriental-forward blend

Product: Cornell & Diehl Rajah's Court 2oz
I popped open a 6 month old tin from my modest cellar. It doesn't appear to have any "casing" added, which I appreciate more and more. Without the added weight of the casing, the little tin was stuffed full of tobacco. The tin note is (for me) domina... Read More
ted by the (probably Izmir) Turkish, sour with hints of apple cider vinegar, but sweeter, like a sweet and sour apple. My first briar was right out of the tin. Not bad, but 15 minutes of air drying in the following bowls is preferred. The flavors have some movement. The Oriental is always present, more or less so. The Virginias and Latakia are usually in the background, sometimes moving a bit forward. The complexity lessens about half way as it balances to a pleasant English. The cut is a pretty consistent ribbon for the most part. I find it burns smooth and needs no relight. It stays on the cooler side, too. It'll help your cake, too, as it ashes nice and grey. It is a lighter English in flavor, smoke, and nic. Here's the deal. I order Izmir Turkish to add to non-aromatics, even smoking it straight. This tobacco often isn't too different than straight Izmir, often the same taste but milder because of the balance of the blend. I do think it's a little high, but I'll get it again if it's on sale and I have a hankering for it. For me it's above average, but not a very fave. 3.5 / 5.
EDIT: After finishing a jar, I can say I won't get this again. There are bulks just as good or better, and for a much better price. Read Less
Good, very good.
