Virginia Gentleman
Smoking Pipes Rated 3.9

This Virginia ribbon is a uniform rainbow of a single color of brown, comprised of Virginia, burley and orientals. Aroma from the bag include raisins, oatmeal, hay, sour candy and a sweet bread.

A new M
M Missouri Pride was used to sample this blend.

Upfront - it’s got a solid “pop” to it. You can “feel” this one. It’s kinda “cigarette”-ish in flavor to me from the start. That’s not a complaint per se - just what it makes me think of. It is warm and touches in sweet but the life saving factor here is the orientals keep it from blandness and offer a little spice.

Second bowl and it seems more and more like an upscale RYO blend. Framed like that it’s almost something I have attempted to capture , mixing Gambler Turkish, Ohm Bold and a little Five Brothers. This isn’t a “show stopper” but I think it’s a solid “smoker’s” blend.

Third bowl and I’m pretty much decided I’ll take what’s left and toss in my tote of RYO stuff.
Look - the flavors are honest tobacco - and clean. I’d say it’s almost Camel Select like - but that’s not what I want in a pipe blend.

Awesome all day smoke a big nic hit. The "slight touch of Turkish" gives it a nice edge and adds a layer of complexity.

This was a surprise

I bought this on a whim, looking for an easy packing, easy lighting VA for the car (I hate dealing with flakes and multiple relights while driving.) To my surprise this is a really delicious, sparkling little blend. It's effortless to pack and light leaving you with nothing to do except savor the delicious, almost refreshing flavor all the way to the bottom. There is some typical VA bready quality with a very light spicy pepper addition. It's just a winner. I bought 4 oz and when I got home I immediately ordered a pound, and will always stay a pound ahead. This is a winner and a keeper....Read More
Big Nic

Mild and smooth flavor throughout, although relights made burley burn, still a satisfying smoke with good sweet flavor, nic hit was high at end of bowl and hit me quick and hard.
Great for every day all day

At the first experience I did not like it as it was light and then after smoking more than one bowl I started to discover how delicious the blend is, 5 stars for sure

As close to a bulk half in half as I have found great for a all day nothing fancy yet flavourful
Good for diluting Latakia mixtures

Product: Cornell & Diehl Virginia Gentleman 2oz
I found this blend to be most useful for reducing the proportion of Latakia in Oriental-heavy mixtures, like Hearth & Home WhiteKnight. It's a pleasant light smoke on its own, and rewards proper hydration and a slow technique.
Good every day smoke

This is the blend I grab when I'm working in the garden/painting the fence etc. It is a pleasant flavourful blend that you don't have to think too hard about.
Mild, a little bland, and very dry

This tobacco comes very dry. It’s necessary to humidify it before smoking. It has very little flavour, but a somewhat sweet taste and smooth texture emerges when the humidity is right. It took me 15 days to finish the 16 oz, and it was notably stale by the end, despite refrigeration. I found some fermented or moldy clumps towards the bottom. For the money, it’s usable, but you certainly aren’t getting the quality of a good tinned tobacco....Read More
