Cornell & Diehl: Sam's Blend 2oz Pipe Tobacco

I bought two tins from a local shop.
The tins were intact, no holes, were slightly buldged.
Age was from 2021.
Both tins were filled with mold.
Buyer beware on this blend.
Again this was not purchased here.

This is a solid smoke if you love thick plumes and a very strong kick. Like smoking crude oil in the best way possible.

You can smoke for complete. I usually dont enjoy the last part of my smoke way, but with this blend i can smoke for complete. Is soft and easy smoke. No mistakes .

I don't know who this Sam guy was but I'm almost positive he had no sense of taste. The tobacco is ridiculously wet, even after a year of sitting in a opened tin. Initial taste was in what only way to describe it as salty wet gym socks and after a year of aging it hasn't gotten any better. It's in no way cool or smooth, on the contrary it burns hot and wet and will ruin a good pipe. Stay away from this blend....Read More

Maybe some of you will consider this as being a blend that lacks complexity. Might be, but this is an awesome blend. Consistent flavor, nice plumes of smoke and very tasty. Couldn't get it to bite, no relights and a very good taste. For me the latakia is upfront, without being a lat bomb. The cavendish brings a bit of sweetness, even without toppings. Perique is very light, you can taste it in the background from time to time. One of my new favorite blend. too bad they don't have it in bulk as well....Read More

I've had only one bowl so far but, I have to say, this is a great blend. Great for just sitting in a comfy spot and thinking about things that make you happy.

Also, i have two black labs. So maybe a little bias.

..it's over. This blend has to be at least 80% BC. The latakia and perique are used somewhat sparingly it kind of leaves you disappointed. Sure it's creamy and produces a billows of smoke but there's just not enough going on here to latch onto and enjoy. If you love Black Cavendish being the star of the show with minor appearances from other tobaccos then this is for you. Those looking for flavor and complexity will be disappointed. That being said, this blend does start to take on some character during the second half of the bowl. Finally, nearing the end, it actually begins becoming somewhat rich, but just as this happens, it's over....Read More

I wish the dog was smokeing a pipe -1 star

this blend is simple and that’s why I like it, tin note is leathery and Smokey, smokes cool with little to no tongue, is easily my favourite go to blend, I can see myself smoking this well into the future (wish they had the 8oz tins)

Its like if mississippi mud was a beer, this blend would be ultra light..why bother? Regret it..
