Reminiscent of Three Nuns
October 18, 2017
Product: Cornell & Diehl Three Friars Bulk
This tobacco became a daily smoker for awhile, and only recently really pinpointed why. I am a huge fan of the Three Nuns, and this Tobacco is a pretty good imitation. It’s not as strong as I would have liked, though not saying it was a good nicotin... Read More
e hit. The natural sweatness compensates for where this tobacco falls short. This was a nice dry cool smoke, which was a great plus compared to my last batch of Three Nuns. I will be ordering again. Read Less
Breakfast of Champions
February 23, 2020
Product: Cornell & Diehl Three Friars Bulk
Citrusy bright Virginia ribbon and musky, peppery balls of Perique is aggregated with big chunks of broken flake - what must be Brown Virginia. I don’t taste any of the Burley, only Perique and Virginia. The flake has an almost graham cracker-like tw... Read More
ang to it, a lot like Newminster No. 400. No need to fiddle with this blend, just pack and light (I did find an almost entirely intact flake at the bottom of my bag, but still, the larger chunks lend enjoyable variation to each bowl.) The nicotine level is just right, but it can pack a punch after consecutive bowls. Turns out to be a pretty good daily smoke, though. Goes good with a cup of black coffee first thing in the morning - it’s an eye-opener. Read Less
Flat And Boring
April 11, 2018
Product: Cornell & Diehl Three Friars Bulk
I had high hopes for this blend, but sadly it fell short for me. I don't know why, but for me it was very flat and boring in flavor. I much prefer Haunted Bookshop.
Decent smoke

This blend piqued my curiosity based on the description so I ordered a couple of ounces to try. Over all not bad. A well balanced and well behaved blend, tho the spice of the perique did bleed thru heavily here and there.

It is very unique, and enjoyable spring smoke, however I would have liked the va to be a bit more forward. Its definitely worth a try for anyone who is looking for a good spring morning smoke.
Tasty VaPerBur

Product: Cornell & Diehl Three Friars 2oz
I know the name is a play off of Three Nuns, but I can see no resemblance to the new and have never tried the old...but for whatever reason this reminds me more of Dunhill Elizabethan Mixture than anything else (even with a healthy dose of Burley in ... Read More
it). This is a nice VA/Bur with just a hint of perique (all my palate can pick up). A faint sweetness from the Virginia's provides a nice backdrop for the earthy and grassy flavors from the VA's and the woody and slightly nutty (think Brazil nuts). After the half way point there are some toasty notes and I get a unique spicy favor, like a hint of white pepper and all spice. The perique is more of a feeling than a flavor in this blend for me, but I am sure it accounts for the peppery favors toward the 2nd half. Very nice, simple smoke that goes well with morning coffee.

Very pleasant all day smoke

Some very large pieces of flake in the pouch which need breaking down before packing the bowl. Very like Three Nuns. Tasty!
A nice surprise

Product: Cornell & Diehl Three Friars Bulk
Bulk purchase. Ribbon cut packs easily and lights well with a bit of dry time. Bag notes of sweet Virginia and some earthy burley. I notice the perique but it is far in the background for me. First flavors are lemon Virginia's. There is a burley back... Read More
bone here to keep the balance. There are some earthy notes, and some nuttiness as well. The body is creamy and never gets harsh. At first I didn't enjoy this blend So I gave it some jar time. About six months later it is a totally different experience. YMMV but this is a winner in my book Read Less

I picked up a couple ounces to try to vary my collection of tobacco's.... most in my collection lean towards aromatic tobacco's... i found this a pleasurable smoke and buying more...

Smoked cool and dry. Not pretentious—it's exactly what it says it is. And I like that.
Product: Cornell & Diehl Three Friars Bulk
This blend is a more civilized, smoother, not as vitamin N heavy cousin to Poplar Camp. They share the same flavor profile to my taste; both, though, are excellent tobaccos.
Don't compare to others, love it for itself.

of natural virginia comes to the fore nicotine in good amounts present with faint lemon shining through the background, no casings evident, definately no tongue bite, a good pipe tobacco for first time pipers transitioning from cigarettes, hope this helps you make up your mind, give it a try you just might like it, regards from Australia.

Delicious blend of tobacco. I could barely taste the burley, which was fine with me as I’m not a big fan of Burley. I love this Three Friars. It’s delicious! I’ll be ordering more if this soon!

This is a tobacco to start a new day with. Goes great with any coffee you choose. Not sure about the all day smoke, with so many other tobacco products out there, this blend could become a little boring. I do smoke it 2 times a day morning and eveni... Read More

It's not bad, but I had high hopes for this. It's worth a try, but take it slow, this will bite.
One to Grow On?

Product: Cornell & Diehl Three Friars Bulk
Update: This wasn't coming into its own, so I blended it 50/50 with C&D Bright Virginia for a nice Va with a bit of burley body and pleasant trace of sweetness from the subtle casing. ----------- I'll come back to this, because 3F seems like a blend ... Read More
that could grow on you. The perique and burley are in wonderful balance with each other, though overall I might like more Virginia. Still, this is nice as a straightforward, naturally presented burley blend, and is something I will go to before, say, Haunted Bookshop (I'm not that much of a burley fanatic.) Variety is a good thing, and while I'm not ready to rave about it, Three Friars deserves a few revisits before final judgement. Read Less
Middle of the Road
March 10, 2021
Product: Cornell & Diehl Three Friars Bulk
Not a bad smoke by any means, just not a favorite for me. It's pleasantly nutty, but the Perique was a little forward for my taste. Overall, not bad, but not all that exciting either.
Wish I could like it more

I finally got this blend to work in a narrow old basket pipe I've had for years. There is a lot to like here when it works, but this will never be a favorite of mine.
Nice and Natural

I found this to be a good even keel smoke from beginning to end. Lots of nut flavor came out for me with just a little bit of spice. The aftertaste was slightly sweet. A well balanced all day smoke.
My All Day-er

Product: Cornell & Diehl Three Friars Bulk
After buying a half dozen pipes and three times the number of tobaccos in pursuit of this new hobby, Three Friars has become my old reliable, the fabled “all day” smoke. Burley brings to the table some no-nonsense character and a healthy (but not ove... Read More
rpowering) backing of vitamin N, while the Virginia in the blend sits back a bit but provides a comforting sweet-but-not-to-sweet tint to the smoke. A dash of perique livens up the whole ordeal without too much attention drawn to it either. Overall, a fine interplay between quality ingredients. A subtly sumptuous blend for a nice, regular smoke.

Nice Mild Virginia
January 24, 2019
Product: Cornell & Diehl Three Friars Bulk
Starts off sweet, then settles into a mild Vitginia flavor. While it's mostly nutty, I get some citrus notes on a big draw. Not nearly as hay/grassy as Orlik, but you can taste the Perique in this one. The burley adds some nuttiness, but it is not ve... Read More

Burns good and produces a good amount of smoke without a bite.
Orlik is still my fave, but this one gets a spot as a change of pace. Read Less
Pleasantly unusual
August 30, 2018
Product: Cornell & Diehl Three Friars Bulk
This blend stuck out to me from the first. It was the grassiest Virginia I had smelled in the tin. It was also the lightest coloured mixture I had purchased up to that time. I am not sure what my expectations were, if I had any, but I can say that ul... Read More
timately I was not disappointed by this blend.
The somewhat unsophisticated tin note did not prepare me for the variety of specific flavours that the palate actually presents. It starts with grassy notes, and then develops into very distinct notes of green and black teas. It remained consistently herbal with some faint hints of fruit, but did turn ashy toward the end.
Mechanically, it could burn hot in light winds or with some steady puffing. But it packed so easily and lit so quickly that I could readily forgive such temperamental behaviour. Moreover, it burned down to a fine white ash with few, if any, relights required. Finally, the wife found the room note inoffensive, but not as favourable as other blends.
All in all, I enjoyed the company of these Three Friars. I have this on my list to buy again. I recommend this blend to smokers of all stripes. It may be too light for many, but it is worth a try.
Cheers to all! Read Less
Decent flavor, Finely Cut

Pack this one tightly and sip lightly. It's got VA sweetness, body from the Burley, and spice from the Perique. Like other reviews...exactly what it says it is.

Natural taste
May 17, 2018
Product: Cornell & Diehl Three Friars Bulk
A blend of tobacco that has a very natural taste. Burley and Perique color the body of Virginia. It is a typical Virginia & Perique body taste, but Burley exists as a blend condiment and combines weak cocoa and nut hints. From my smoking experience I... Read More
remember Old Joe Krantz as a similar taste, but Three Friars are lighter, and Virginia and Perique complement each other to emphasize the sourness obtained from Burley. I think the smoking taste made up of these complicated flavor profiles is very interesting.Easy to pack, tobacco is easy to burn. try it. Read Less

The grassy Virginia is balanced by the nutty Burley with just the right touch of zesty Perique. Nicely done.

Easy Going Daily Smoker

Product: Cornell & Diehl Three Friars Bulk
I can't readily say whether or not C&D's Three Friars is successful in its homage to the legenday tobacco that inspired its namesake, but I can say it is a solid smoking tobacco. The Virginias and Perique play off of each other as expected, and t... Read More
he burley adds just a hint of strenghth to what would otherwise be fairly anemic on my palate. I say this, of course, with the disclaimer that I tend to favor heavy tobaccos. Three Friars is definitely the lightest of the Old Joe Krantz, Haunted Bookshop, and Three Friars trifecta, but shouldn't be discounted by those who do favor heavier blends. Read Less

Another good tobacco from C & D. The burley is greatly pronounced with enough preique to tickle the taste buds.
