Sweet Grassiness of a Virginia with the Mouthfeel and Body of Burley
November 13, 2024
Product: Cornell & Diehl Winchester Bulk
A good, simple mixture. Winchester is an all-day, every-day mixture with its consistent, easy to manage and simple flavor profile. The burley cavendish combined with the VA makes for a wonderfully naturally sweet, woody, grassy, smooth and mouth-filling experience. This produces gobs of smoke. There's nothing contemplative here, it's just good, clean and tasty. It's a little boring, but sometimes that's what I want. This won't blow your hair back on flavor complexity or nicotine as I don't think it wasn't designed to do that. What it will do is provide a level of comfort and confidence in your experience. Nicotine is 1 out of 5....Read More
An Old West Masterpiece!

Every now and then, on rare occasion, you find a blend that you know you're going to like from the moment you smell it. After getting a couple ounces of Winchester in the mail I stashed it away in a Ball jar, let it sit and build it's aroma for a week and a half, then cracked open the jar and gave it a sniff. Dry dusty prairie grass, gunpowder, and horse. That's what Winchester smells like, and I think it was quite appropriately named! It comes a bit wetter than any non-aromatic C&D blend I've tried before, but takes the flame easily and burns quite well with no dry time required. In terms of flavor it's a very mellow and mild blend (especially by C&D standards), with the dark, earthy red Virginias and unsweetened canvendished burley in harmonious balance. A little soil, a little leaf litter, a subtle nuttiness, and an occasional ephemeral hint of cocoa. It reminds me a lot of G.L. Pease Union Square, but much smoother on account of the cavendished burley softening the rough throat irritating edges of the red Virginias and with a gentle burley flavor as the background note instead of grassy bright Virginia. There's still a sharp zing on the retrohale though, letting you know that you're most definitely smoking a red Virginia blend. Speaking of notes, the room note is very old time'y! I'm not sure how else to describe it other than that it reminds me of an old west saloon. Dusty and woody with cedar spice, and a roasty quality like a woodfire hearth. It's very pleasant and makes you think of times long gone by. As I get towards the end of the pipe the nicotine content feels just a tiny bit below medium to me, and it seems like something most folks could smoke all day if they wanted with little breaks in-between. All in all it's a really pleasant, mild tasting, dark and earthy blend that seems like a good Virginia blend for burley fans, or a gateway into burleys for Virginia smokers. If you like Union Square then Winchester will be right up your alley. It's also the most "old west" smelling blend of anything I've ever smoked when it comes to both the tin note and room note, so if you're looking for something that feels like what frontiersman might have smoked in the 1700 or 1800s then absolutely give Cornell & Diehl's Winchester a try! It's a keeper in my book, and easily my favorite red Virginia blend I've ever tried right from the first smoke....Read More

I really liked this blend. A bit of sweetness and a bit of nuttiness. It seems like a more complex Mac Baren Golden Extra. Which I love also. This would be a great all day smoke.

Red Virginia, solid green river black cavendish... nothing else. Easy to light, easy to smoke, easy to love. If you're like me and enjoy pleasant, straight-forward smoking without all the pretentious nonsense but with a consistent flavor and aroma you can enjoy anytime... try Winchester!
My New Everyday

Absolutely top-notch old-fashioned blend. Creamy, smooth, predictable with a satisfying natural flavor and light sweetness that will convince you you're smoking the same bowl every single time! The combo of unsweetened green river Cavendish and Virginia behaves like a good burley, but an exceptionally well-mannered one. It smells great, it is extremely easy to light and smoke, and it satisfies the smoker and those in the room. I smoke the better part of a pound of this every month and it has never disappointed... not once. It is just a wonderful blend that behaves like a trusted old friend....Read More

I can smoke this one all day with no break and never get tired of it. It has a satisfying amount of nicotine and never disappoints in flavor. I've smoked this in literally every size of bowl and never had a problem. Luckily, it never seems to be out of stock, and it might be time to order another pound....Read More
Trash tobacco taste

Product: Cornell & Diehl Winchester Bulk
Ordered 4 ounces bulk. Arrived so dry, bag note of cardboard and pencil shavings. I let it rest in a jar for a week and the smell improved,in the slightest perceptible amount. The taste did not. Utter bleh. In the bin with you Satan. It would have been more satisfying to watch a 10$ bill burn....Read More

I bought a couple ounces of this to try out. First bowl I smoked I thought, this is ok, good enough to smoke in between and keep me from smoking up all the “good stuff”! Well I put it in my “cellar” and forgot I had it. Found it the other day and in my opinion, after about 6 months or so of aging, it is quite good! Think I’ll buy more and put back and “forget about” for another 6 months to a year and see what happens!...Read More
