Wasn’t What I Was Looking For
July 29, 2018
Product: Cornell & Diehl Red Carpet 2oz
I grew to love red Virginias because of the now extinct McCelland tobaccos. I bought this tobacco in hopes of finding a somewhat similar replacement for McCelland. It certainly isn’t that. Beyond that, I must say that it truly is a very nice red Virg... Read More
inia. It is moderately sweet, with a good amount of body. Not much of an exciting smoke, but that isn’t always important. Seekers of a very good red Virginia will not be disappointed, whereas those who are looking to find a McClelland cousin will not be impressed. Read Less
Good Vaper
August 12, 2018
Product: Cornell & Diehl Red Carpet 2oz
This is pretty good and a little different than most other c&d vapers I've tried. The red va really brings a richness to the smoke. It's a good medium strength but I can still feel it. I feel it has a really good aging potential so I'll probably put ... Read More
a couple tins in the cellar. Flakes were broken up a bit when I got it but I planned to rub it out as I smoke it anyway so that's not a big deal to me. Worth a try if you don't mind a little pepper in your va. Read Less

Medium-thick sliced, lightly-broken flake, soft and with a dark mahogany color. Tin note of luscious dark dried fruit and hay. Pleasant smooth smoke with a moderate perique content. Seems to be best in a wide, open bowl.
Simply satisfying

This blend has an almost edible, mouth watering tin note as mentioned, like delicate ripe fruit. The sweet reds and spicy perique are perfectly proportioned and contrast nicely throughout the bowl. I consider this an excellent all day smoker and h... Read More

I have come to love red Virginias, this stuff smokes the heck out of some of the McClelland tobacco blends.

Great vaper. Reminds me of Escudo
Great Blend

Product: Cornell & Diehl Red Carpet 2oz
A great VaPer! Everything I love about earthy, bready, yet sweet red virginias with a touch of spice from the perique. An under the radar blend that is great for Fall right now
Deserves more attention than it gets!

I basically feel the same way about Sunday Picnic as I do Red Carpet. For many years the blends that make up the Simply Elegant series have been a favorites of mine and are well-represented in my cellar. Both Sunday Picnic and Red Carpet are medium-s... Read More
trong and full of flavor. A dedicated Virginia smoker could probably make due with just these two blends! Strength, spice, salty-sweetness and cool burn. I tend to appreciate Sunday Picnic during the day (or during the warmer months), and Red Carpet in the evenings after dinner due to the slightly richer flavor profile. To my tastes Sunday Picnic is (of course) brighter and the Turkish shines with the Perique in the supporting role, whereas it is pretty much all about the Perique in Red Carpet. Both blends are must-haves and age incredibly! Read Less
Sweet & Spicy

Sweet red Virginia with a sorghum note combined with a good shot of Perique giving figs and pepper to the mix. Highly recommended to fans of Perique flavors.
Piquant mud

Product: Cornell & Diehl Red Carpet 2oz
I fought through this tin trying to find anything to enjoy. All I got was a muddy flavor and piquancy. Maybe I'll try again after I've sampled the rest of the catalog.
Summer Evenings
April 13, 2020
Product: Cornell & Diehl Red Carpet 2oz
Red Virginia Perique blends tend to replace Balkans as the choice for evenings when the weather warms up. Especially on those humid, sultry nights in the South. This, and Escudo are both indispensable in this role. Red Carpet is also a good replaceme... Read More

Between fair and good
December 20, 2019
Product: Cornell & Diehl Red Carpet 2oz
The tobacco components seem to be top quality. And I enjoy red Virginias. However, it didn't cut the mustard for me. It could be that it just contains too much Perique for my taste, but I found it overly harsh, especially on relight. Nicotine con... Read More
