Strong and very satisfying

One of the best virginia tobaccos on the market. Strong, slow burning and rich. As compared to bright virginia it burns better with more body. The smoke is Strong but it will not bite like bright virginia. I went trough 8oz and just received a pound. Highly recommended for the seasoned pipe smoker....Read More

Mild
August 01, 2024

Product: Cornell & Diehl Red Virginia Ribbon 2oz
Not much of a tin note on this one and the ribbons are a bit finer than most. Dry enough to light and smokes easily with no xtra drying needed. As I expected, lacking in depth or character but a pleasant smoke. May try mixing it with some chocolate cavendish just to see if that helps. Overall, an easy one to smoke with no bite or other bad aspects, just not very exciting but then I’m a Burley lover trying to better understand Virginia. It’s a start and might be a good first choice for new pipe smokers. Quality is about what I’ve come to expect from C&D…excellent....Read More

One year later

I bought a couple of ounces about a year ago along with a few other tobaccos to experiment with blending. I smoked each one that I bought individually to get an idea of how each variety tasted. I found the Red Virginia to be a bit harsh at first, but it has definitely mellowed with age. Now, after a year in a jar it is a pleasantly sweet and easy smoke. I find myself favoring a bowl of it on its own. If you buy some, I highly recommend letting it mellow for some time before judging it....Read More

Solid red ribbon you have had a hundred times in C&D blends. That said it smokes great on its own its a great mild mindless smoke.

Staple For Blending
August 14, 2023
By: Godfather
Product: Cornell & Diehl Red Virginia Ribbon Bulk
Such a quality tobacco! I enjoy smoking a bowl of this straight, but has become a staple for many of my blending experiments at home. Seems to pair well with a variety of tobaccos, I've enjoyed blending this in with various aromatics and pairs well with blends that I include in with some fire cured as well. Get creative!...Read More

Wow!
March 25, 2023
By: Pipester.ph
Product: Cornell & Diehl Red Virginia Ribbon Bulk
This stuff is strong. In the spectrum of Virginias, it's in the fuller end of the scale. Bready at first, then the flavors develop into earthy, rich, full, and deep. Will be great added to my milder aromatics, and to any blend that i find too light. Highly recommended!

after 5 years
January 14, 2023
By: JassonWB
Product: Cornell & Diehl Red Virginia Ribbon Bulk
Jar note of tartly sweet, sugar and spices. Tobacco is mostly a medium brown with a little darker brown mixed in. The short ribbons are a little moist, drying may be preferred. Burns moderate with few relights. The strength is medium and nic is mild to medium. No flavoring detected. Taste is medium to full and consistent, with notes of wood, spices, bread, mildly sweet, mildly tangy, citrus, earth, fermented vegetation, mildly acidic, a dried hay background note, and a peppery retro. Room note is pleasant, and aftertaste is great....Read More

Red VA goodness
February 10, 2023
By: Jake T.
Product: Cornell & Diehl Red Virginia Ribbon Bulk
As with the bright VA, I tried this to see it's blend worthiness and found that it is week worth it on its own. Just nice red Virginia's with that mouldering leaf litter taste. Versus hay and grass of the bright VA. Very nice indeed
