Great tobacco, non aro smokers would probably enjoy this one too.

Product: Cornell & Diehl We Three Kings 2oz
let me just say that C&D is a love or hate relationship for me, some of their blends are beyond amazing, and some are like.. did you guys even try this before you tinned it up?? this one, is very very very light on the aro side, just a hint of ci... Read More
nnamon, and a very very light clovey exhale, yet the vanilla comes through at the end of the bowl, this one has much more of a pure tobacco taste to it than it is an aromatic, it is very good and smooth though, for a non aro guy who wanted some holiday flavor profile, this would be the perfect tin, i do enjoy this baccy, but if your ordering this i would also suggest getting a tin of McCellands holiday spirit, that is pretty much my all time fav. just a suggestion. buy this baccy? yes! but it is not a flavor bomb by any means.

Fantastic
September 12, 2016
Product: Cornell & Diehl We Three Kings 2oz
As someone who smokes a lot of OTC blends and Virginia flake I shy away from aromatics as a rule but this sounded interesting. To my surprise I found that I absolutely love this stuff. C&D scored a homerun with this one.
Quite the surprise!

Im typically not one for aromatics, but I couldnt put this down. I can not think of any other way to describe it- It tastes like Christmas. The Tobaccos shined alongside the flavoring for a bowl of holiday cheer.

I am Smoking a bowl of We Three Kings from C&D in my Peterson Sherlock Holmes Rusticated Squire.
So far I have not found a more relaxing blend to smoke on a sunny fall afternoon and one of the last warm days before the LONG COLD and DARK Canadian... Read More
Winter descends upon me. I know I should wait until Christmas to smoke this but I decided to not wait and instead ordered 5 more cans to get me through the holiday season. The tin note is delicious and it translates perfectly into the smoke and room note. My wife actually comes to sit with me when I light up a bowl of this lovely blend. She has even asked a few times to do the initial light to get a puff or two which I find to be very HOT LOL. Enjoy your day everyone!!! Read Less
Great Blend for Any Time of Year
April 25, 2018
Product: Cornell & Diehl We Three Kings 2oz
Echoing what others have said about this blend, it's very light on the added flavorings, and that's what I love about it. The Virginia gives it substance, but the mixture of Katerini and Black Cavendish really stands out and makes for a great flavor ... Read More
combination. Its allspice-style topping adds a nice dimension of flavors—none of that funny aromatic aftertaste (I'm very sensitive to those). Tin and room notes are reminiscent of spice cake or gingerbread that's just come out of the oven. It also has a fair amount of nicotine for an aromatic; about a 4 or 5 out of 10. Excellent blend for the holidays, or just to switch things up a little. Typically I hate these sort of blends, but I liked it so much that I bought a half pound! What's left of my first tin has aged noticeably as well. Read Less

Perfect Blend of Spices & Sweetness
December 18, 2017
Product: Cornell & Diehl We Three Kings 2oz
One of C&D's excellent lightly aromatic blends; possibly the best of the lot. It'll sit well with nearly anybody who smokes a pipe, and the room note will also please those who don't. The flavor's about ¾ straight-up tobacco and ¼ added flavors of ho... Read More
ney, allspice, and a speck of vanilla. The Virginia's just right (no bite), but the Katerini are what makes this stuff stand out from other Cavendish blends; it imparts a natural spiciness. Additionally, C&D's Black Cavendish is the best I've ever had. It's just a tiny bit sweet, and that's a hard line for a blend to walk. We Three Kings is excellent stuff. Three types of tobacco, each fit for a king, all in one tin. Although its aromas go very nicely with the Christmas theme, I'll happily smoke it year-round. Read Less
A good smoke
November 24, 2014
Product: Cornell & Diehl We Three Kings 2oz
Although sold as a holiday blend I believe that this tobacco could be smoked just about any time. The tin note reminded me of vanilla, nutmeg, rum, and spice and was very pleasant. Before lighting there was a sweet and spicy like taste in the pipe ... Read More
when drawn which hints at what is to come. The tobacco was easy to load and pack and took the initial light well, staying lit through the majority of the smoke, although I did have to relight midway through the bowl, but this is meant to be smoked slowly in order to avoid any bite. The taste was mild and slightly sweet with a hint of vanilla and a touch of spiciness on the initial charring, but progressed into a more spiced, almost ginger like note by mid-bowl. Towards the end of the smoke there was an almost fresh baked bread taste that was detectable with just a hint of the sweetness coming through. The room note according to the wife was warm and pleasant. All in all, a good smoke any day of the week. Read Less
Replaces McClelland's Holiday Spirit
May 04, 2022
Product: Cornell & Diehl We Three Kings 2oz
Woah... this is some fine tobacco. The spices used in conjunction with the leaf is at another level. These aren't artificial flavorings... this are natural and robust spices cooked down and condensed for use in the topping. Yes, it's light on added ... Read More
flavorings and is tobacco forward, but the delicate use of cinnamon, allspice and vanilla is deliberate and refined. It enhances rather than sublimates the tobacco. The vanilla is most pronounced in the tin note, but isn't so prominent in the smoke. Holiday-spiced pastries is what this immediately conjures in flavor and room note. Smooth, sweet, tasty, slightly floral/herbaceous, and very, very satisfying. Like all C&D, this is a natural tasting and pure product. The nicotine is about 2 out of 5, so it will sate after a meal but won't cause a ball in your chest or turn your stomach. This replaces McClelland's infamous Holiday Spirit. Read Less

A Three Kings have a very delicious flavor. I love the blend of Virginia and Orientals because are sweet and pleasurable in the mouth. Indeed the Virginia aroma it's perfect. A good choice.
Great blend
January 04, 2022
Product: Cornell & Diehl We Three Kings 2oz
I have to give this 5 stars. I think the addition of the Orientals is making this one stand out for me. I highly recommend giving this a try even if you are not a aromatic smoker.

October 10, 2021
Product: Cornell & Diehl We Three Kings 2oz
The flavor description what grabbed me, I favor the holiday style aromas/taste so this year when "We Three Kings" was offered I jumped at the chance... Once the tin arrived, I opened and took my first smell and I could not really tell the a... Read More
llspice or cinnamon and could not smell any of the vanilla at all. Trying to not be judgmental due to the tin note, I noticed that this was dryer than many of the other C&D blends I had purchased (it did have some stems and pieces in the tin which is abnormal in my previous C&D experience). Filling the pipe and lighting up, I did not get any of the flavors, just tobacco although the room note was pleasant, it was not the notes that was promised. With there being less and less Christmas blends as there were in the past, I had high hopes and was very disappointed. I smoked another bowl the next day to see if my thoughts changes, they did not. I have jarred the rest of this and will try it again after it ages to see if anything occurs after time passes. If it's the same when I try it again, into the trashcan this goes... I may have gotten a bad tin, and in my heart I hope I did... Looks like its Sutliff Christmas Spice again this year! Read Less

gth is mild to medium and nic is mild. Flavoring is mild, with notes of allspice, cinnamon and light vanilla. Taste is mild to medium and mostly consistent, with notes of very woody, very herbal, very floral, earthy, lemon grass, mildly sweet dark fruit, and mildly peppery retro. The 31.25% Red Virginia and 31.25% Bright Virginia are ganging up on the 31.25% Katerini Turkish while the 6.25% Cavendish plays referee. Flavoring is calling the fight. Room note is pleasant, and aftertaste is ok. Read Less

never overwhelming, the spices were perfect, couldn't taste vanilla, but that's OK, the spice notes were wonderful.
Next to their long gone Jolly Old St. Nick, this is my favorite aro, I do however wished they'd bring back Jolly Old St. Nick.
But this one is wonderful, a delightful smoke anytime.
Great for a first smoke of the day. Read Less

Oriental Aromatic Bliss
December 18, 2021
Product: Cornell & Diehl We Three Kings 2oz
We Three Kings is just a little bit amazing. It is a lightly aromatic classic American blend with orientals forward. It’s brilliant. As punkrockpiper observes, even non-aromatic loyalists would approve of this one. It’s certainly a warm, relaxing hol... Read More
iday treat, but I would smoke this any time of the year. It’s particularly good for English/Balkan lovers who sometimes appreciate a break from latakia but don’t want to stray too far. The subdued aroma preserves and perhaps even enhances the delicate orientals on display here. Read Less

ing some chocolatyness in the beginning and definitely some spices from the Orientals or Perique and the Virginia's always pleasant. It's cold where I am so I'm wondering if I'm getting the whole spectrum. I'm smoking a new Cob so that might have some negatives as well. Although things got really interesting towards the end. Not minty, but cool. A cool refreshing spice I'm thinking coming off the Orientals had a well rounded comfort about it. Nice and relaxing I stopped thinking about the complexities and simply started enjoying a great smoke.
Room note was nice, but no cookies in the kitchen. Mustache note very pleasant. Had me wanting more as I thought of Christmas. The taste, was just very satisfying 🤙 Read Less

Interesting, light-medium Aromatic
January 07, 2018
Product: Cornell & Diehl We Three Kings 2oz
Light to medium aromatic, probably needs more time in the tin. Creaminess, vanilla and very light baking spice notes. Medium strength towards bottom of bowl. Worth a try, but somewhat disappointing to my palate.
It's ok
November 29, 2017
Product: Cornell & Diehl We Three Kings 2oz
I'm not really an aro smoker, but I thought I might like this because it's mostly Virginia's and Turkish. It smokes cool and dry, with a slight creamy texture to the smoke. The tin note is heavy on the vanilla, but I get more cinnamon in the flavor.... Read More
Still, there's not all that much flavor here; it's tastes kind of like a cigarette, but a little sweet and with vague cinnamon and vanilla notes. Overall it's not that interesting to me, but it's a smooth dry smoke that might be nice with a cup of coffee or to smoke while doing something that prevents you from focusing on the tobacco.
