Outstanding Navy Flake
May 21, 2018
Product: Cornell & Diehl Speakeasy Navy Blend 2oz
Outstanding replacement for McClelland Navy, and more easily stays lit from first puff. Wonderful flavor. C&D will have a job on its hands filling orders now that McClelland has closed its doors forever - sigh.
Better Than Good

Product: Cornell & Diehl Speakeasy Navy Blend 2oz
Pretty much a VaPer with minor additions that add some complexity. I hardly detect any rum topping, mostly just in the tin note. Very well done.
Can't wait that long...

You can wait 10-15 years if you want too, but right now this stuff is pretty good. Very interesting, complex and rich mixture. The Dark Fired Kentucky is not overpowering, but the "N" content is serious. My first and certainly not my last ... Read More

Product: Cornell & Diehl Speakeasy Navy Blend 2oz
I expected this to be a heavy hitting blend with a lot of spice because of the perique, dark fired, and rum content, but it's actually quite smooth and easy going. It's very flavorful and fairly complex. A little sweet and fruity, kind of earthy and ... Read More
woody, with a dry finish. I could smoke this all day, every day. It's gonna be hard to try and cellar this one... Read Less

I can’t put my finger on what makes this blend so dang good. But it is definitely one of my favorites.
Excellent smoke

Very spicy with hints of fermented fruit, a beautiful aroma and tin note. Another hit for me from C&D I’ll be ordering again.

It’s a good bit of tobacco for sure, however it’s almost identical to GL Windjammer, which is also a good tobacco. It’s sweet but slightly less rummy than windjammer as well.

Tin note of raisin, stewed fruit and spices. The light, medium and dark brown flake tobacco has a reddish hue and rubs out easily. Tobacco is not wet, but some may want to dry out a little. Burns slow with a few relights. The strength is medium and n... Read More
ic is medium. Flavoring is very mild, with hints of spiced rum coming through every now and again. Taste is medium and somewhat consistent with tasting notes of fig newtons, grass, earth, wood, dry spices, slight lemony, slightly sweet dark fruit, and a spicy retro. For me, the Virginias are leading with Perique supporting and the Kentucky bring up the rear. Room note is pleasant to tolerable, and aftertaste is excellent. Read Less
Well blended and complex

Product: Cornell & Diehl Speakeasy Navy Blend 2oz
From the roar of jazz music to the fun of old and new friends, New Orleans speakeasies are not fancy
places, to say the least... which means, based on associations with New Orleans,
that this tobacco will be second only to Bourbon Bleu for me... )))... Read More
(These retro bars, with colorful cocktails on the bar and wisps of smoke dancing in the dim light,
epitomize the brash spirit of one of the city's most iconic eras—something that
Cornell & Diehl aimed to capture with their bold Cellar Series.)
The rum topping is mildly applied, and works well with the tobaccos, only lightly sublimating them.
The star component is the woody, earthy, mostly dry (with a touch of molasses),
slightly smoky and nutty Kentucky. The tangy dark fruit and earthy Virginia is essentially a supporting player, and also sports a hint of spice. The small amount of lighter Virginia is hardly obvious in the taste, but is responsible for the slight citrus and grass notes.
Won't bite, but has a light rough edge from the Kentucky here and there. Well blended and complex,
you'll notice every aforementioned aspect in every puff. Read Less
Pleasant after a year and a half

Product: Cornell & Diehl Speakeasy Navy Blend 2oz
The tin I have has been aged for roughly a year and a half. The rum topping is mild and pleasant and does not overstay its welcome. The rest of the bowl offers flavors of sweet, complex Virginia tobacco with a little pepper from the Perique. The DFK ... Read More
is here, but it’s mellow and complements the other tobaccos well. I couldn’t note a ton of Oriental tobacco, but maybe I just didn’t know what I was looking for. Overall, I would buy more of this to see how it ages. Read Less

Works great with no aging. If you like navy flakes, this is right up there with some of the best and maybe even better.
Product: Cornell & Diehl Speakeasy Navy Blend 2oz
If this blend had a little more booze and a little less nicotine it would be a nice all day smoke rotation for me. Would fill a rum+ slot or something.
An Excellent Blend

Product: Cornell & Diehl Speakeasy Navy Blend 2oz
There was a time when this blend included the grade of Virginias found in 2019 tins of Carolina Red Flake, which is a superb tobacco. I imagine they found a suitable substitute when they ran out of that grade. It is no surprise then that this is suc... Read More

Smoke easy

Sit down smoke. Pretty much a DF Kentucky show. The other three varietals are low level support. Nice smoke
Product: Cornell & Diehl Speakeasy Navy Blend 2oz
إنه لذيذ ومعقد إلى حد ما. فيه القليل من نكهة الفاكهة و الترابية و الخشبية
عند فتح العلبة تفوح رائحة الرم ويضل انفك منعمس فيها الى ان يسيل لعابك لتبدأ التدخين اختيار جيد للمبتدئ و الاشخاص الذين يفضلون التبغ المعتدل القوة
A Solid Option

Product: Cornell & Diehl Speakeasy Navy Blend 2oz
A very good Navy flake, stout and nicely constructed. It tastes good, burns well, and delivers a good shot of nicotine. There are many navy flakes to try, but Speakeasy is a perennial good bet.

Just opened my jar from June 2017 for IPSD. Age has definitely helped. Virginia’s have calmed down a bit from what I remember. I’m tasting more of the buttery Orientals now with the Dark Fired a close second. Perique only comes out if I concentrate, ... Read More
but I am noticing a tickle as I near the end of the bowl. Didn’t get much of a rum hit until midway when this blend shines. Another 4 years could really bring the orchestra together. Read Less

e it's pretty good right now. Will definitely be put more of this in my cellar. It's an easy 4.5/5 in my book. It could easily be an all day smoke. Read Less
The tobacco pleasantly surprised me
August 02, 2020
Product: Cornell & Diehl Speakeasy Navy Blend 2oz
Excellent blend of Dark Fired Kentucky, Orientals, Perique, Virginia. Perhaps (for my taste) Perique is not much more prevalent, but in general, as I said, I was pleasantly surprised and would rate it 4.5 out of 5.
Surprised!

Well, I've tried a few Navy flakes that I liked (McClelland comes to mind). But THIS was a pleasant surprise. Speakeasy gives a nod to tradition, but then takes it to a creative place that really works. Masterfully blended, the Kentucky wasn't ove... Read More
