Cornell & Diehl: Sunday Picnic 8oz Pipe Tobacco

Soothing Pine mushroom flavor to me.
and sometime taste like korean soybean paste stew.
do not believe my review directly.

Beautiful C&D flakes (typical broken flake) of lemony yellow & orange with hints of black. Smell is of citrusy hay with that oriental tang. Smokes great. Light, sweet, hints of citrus, hay and fig. The Virginia and orientals really shine and the Perique is pretty sparse but t plays its part. Overall, a nice blend but this won’t go on my regular rotation Bright Virginias tend to bite me and I could feel it starting....Read More

Haven't smoked many C and D blends and what I have tried has been not bad. I don't know why I pulled the trigger on this blend I think it was the reviews. I'm so glad I listened. This is a delicious blend. It's definitely sweet, savory and chill all together. And it's delivered in a medium or light medium flavor profile that without being cloying is just tasty. And for the fellow reviewer below who spoke of piney mushrooms... It does! this is rich and complex so there are other flavor layers too...Read More

I haven’t tried many Cornell & Diehl, but this one is my favorite, and really wonderful subtle sweetness.

Had a bloated tin dated 2021. Aged beautifully. Massive dried fruit notes, smooth, mellow, with right level of nicotine. My all time favorite.

Wish it had slightly more Orientals and was a little bit more floral but this stuff is really really good if you like Virginia/Oriental blends go ahead and get it. One of my top favorite blends. Sidenote, buyer beware this is not a flake as advertised. It is broken flake.

I was rally surprised with this blend. I bought it looking for a Va with a hint of Ori/Turk or similar. It was an immediate win for me. Age of course improves it quite a bit. The broken flake is light in color and an easy smoke you could come back to repeatedly.

Wow what a wonderful surprise. I just love this blend. After getting a single tin, I finished it quickly and got 2 more 8oz cans. It’s a beautiful flake with a great all around flavor and can be an all day smoke for sure. A must try for Va lovers.

The combo of the Izmir and the Virginia/Perique with no top note is a winner. It’s soft, bready, yeasty, lemon, hay. It’s a winner.

I was lucky enough to find a BLOATED tin in my last trip to the tobacco shop. I don’t know how many years were on it but what a treat!! Naturally sweet and tasty with a good body. I recommend to anyone who enjoys VA blends. Can’t tell you what it’s like new out of the tin though!
