Cornell & Diehl: Seersucker 2oz Pipe Tobacco

Product Number: 003-016-0273

A lightweight, puckered, all-cotton fabric, seersucker became a staple of the Southern gentleman's wardrobe after Joseph Haspel fashioned the first suit from the material in 1909, as a way of stylishly combating the blazing New Orleans summer heat.

A spicy blend of cigar leaf and other choice tobaccos, Cornell & Diehl created this Cellar Series blend in hopes that it will line your cellar much as its namesake fabric once did the streets of New Orleans.

Estimated peak: 7-10 years.

This blend was originally released in July of 2016.

I like it, it's got layers...

This is...actually, I'm kind of challenged to describe this stuff, to be honest. Smoking it out a small clay churchwarden (Markus Fohr's #5, so maybe tiny would be a better word...) with the gorgeous plug cut into course-ish ribbons -not my preference, but the only knife to hand was a bit dull and I'm just too lazy to go grab something so there was a bit of undignified sawing action I don't intend to repeat- it starts out sweet and slightly musky, with a hint of spice somewhere between allspice and nutmeg but more interesting than either alone. After a few puffs a new licorice note begins to emerge, the musky notes get stronger, and the two begin playing a gentle back and forth over the sweet, lightly cavendish tinged underlayer, and a strong tobacco smell unfolds on the retrohale. Mid-bowl the licorice recedes and bready, malty notes take center stage dressed up with more of the spice and sweetness from what tastes like a cigar cavendish who's variety I can't quite place. (Reminds me of Sumatran or Javan leaf, and almost of Kasturi, but I'm not positive - not a hint of earthiness or pepper whatever it is, just intricate spice and a light creaminess...) Intriguingly the licorice switches to the retrohale at this stage, accompanied by a lovely sweet richness in the nose and across the soft palate. Towards the end the spicy sweetness of the opening puffs returns, but the sweetness is markedly more pronounced and the musk is just a hint, and the retrohale is all spice and cream. So, overall a lovely little plug - cuts well, rubs out nicely, packs just as nicely, and smokes through a lovely flavor journey that's a joy to experience. Altogether a gem, which means I'll have to grab several for aging. Highly recomended, especially for the cigar smokers out ther looking to dip their toes into pipes, or those who enjoy both and like to switch things up in interesting ways......Read More

Opened it up right away, it had a great smell, tasted pretty good too, remind me of Jackknife Plug, but milder. Halfway through it, it got better, and after that, it got nice and strong, with a great finish. A nice after lunch or dinner smoke.
Good blend

In general, a dark brooding blend. The Burley, Cigar and DF play a prominent role, and in that order. Occasionally a pure cigar note or pure Oriental. Dark chocolate and espresso notes. Really does a number on your breath. A fine smoke for blustery winter weather

Since this is part of the cellar line, I didn’t think it would be too spectacular until it had aged for quite a while. But upon trying it, to decide whether to stock up and put some cans away, I was blown away by how interesting and different it was, and yet how much I liked it. There are a lot of flavors all running together, but I think it all works together quite well. The plug is wet, but that should help with the aging, and after cutting a flake and rubbing it out, it only took about ten minutes to be at a good smoking moisture level. I think it is a very unique blend with cigar, and is totally different than most other cigar leaf blends. It definitely became a favorite, and I can’t wait to see what it’s like with a few more years on it....Read More
Pretty good smoke

I rate this a little above 3 stars because it’s better than average, even with no cellaring. I smoked a tin of it to decide whether to add it to my cellar. I will. I like the light casing, though I can’t identify the fragrance that was used. I’d guess a very light touch of rum. I like the blending of cigar leaf with orientals. I like the inclusion of black cavendish for its enhancement of smoking qualities. The Virginia is only average, but with age it will become much better. So several tins will go into my basement next time I order. This is especially nice in a clay pipe, which is what I always use for my first test of a new tobacco. My clay pipes are kept thoroughly cleaned for this reason. The bit of burley enhances the casing, adds body and provides necessary strength....Read More
Like cigars, aromatic, complex...

Consistent throughout this blend is brown sugar and cigar-style flower aromas. A complex, medium full and tasty blend. I am confident that this blend is a cigar blend. It is a “cigar blend” that has a different direction from Billy Budd, and brings a very interesting experience to smokers. Billy Budd is a “Maduro” in a cigar and Seersucker is likened to a Havanos-like “medium” cigar....Read More

I assume I’ll write a new review of this Plug in a few years. But as it stands now, I’m not too impressed. It was wet, not pressed too good, very mild and rather flavorless, and had a very strange smell. I understand the intent is to age this for several years, so I’m going to give that a shot and see if it improves....Read More
