Smooth Classic Blend
February 13, 2014
Product: Cornell & Diehl Yale Mixture Bulk
Smooth lighter English blend with good body and plenty of taste. A classic English at a very good price!
Great balance.

As the mfg's description states, the latakia is in the background but still remains an active component in the experience. Plenty of smokey eastern goodness to keep me happy without the campfire effect. I will add it to my rotation.
My everyday smoke

Product: Cornell & Diehl Yale Mixture Bulk
This is my everyday blend. Lord knows there are hundreds of English blends on the market, and even just from Cornell & Diehl there are dozens to choose from. I picked this one because I liked the name and the fact that it only had two component t... Read More
obaccos listed. I find it perfectly balanced, with excellent smoking characteristics (lights well, packs well, burns evenly in a variety of sized pipes). It's not the most full-flavored or complex English, but it isn't trying to be, and it has just enough Virginia sweetness and peppery Latakia to be interesting to puff on while reading a book or winding down after a long day. Is it anything really special? Not really, but some blends just come together really nicely in their balance of flavor and aroma, and this is a fine example of one. Some blends are just so perfectly done (Dunhill 965 comes to mind), that they just hit the spot. Yale Mixture reminds me of the Dunhill blends in that it is excellent quality and smokes really really well. It will not blow you away, but you just may find yourself reaching for it again and again when you're not sure which blend you want to smoke. Read Less
Pleasant Smoke

Good English blend with a light Latakia presence. The description didn't mention a topping, but I kept getting just the faintest whiff of vanilla. Very easy to smoke. Pairs well with light reading and bird watching.

It is a light and sweet blend of latakia. It has excellent burning properties and sweet smoke. I give it 5 stars.
Product: Cornell & Diehl Yale Mixture Bulk
A dry cool smoke is the only way I can describe this. I have always liked the aroma and taste of English blends but found then to be overpowering. This blend is exactly what I have been looking for.

I just broke the seal on a 25 year old tin of Yale Mixture and it is delicious! The tin was puffed out, and the seal broke with a loud whoosh sound. I'm amazed at how moist and perfect the ribbons were, with a heady aroma. The blend is exactly as ... Read More
described here, with a light and delicious use of Latakia, not dominating but rather perfectly complimenting this savory and cool smoking blend. I'm anxious to buy a brand new tin of Yale as a comparison. But this 25 year old is one fantastic smoke. Buy some and cellar it for yourself. But be patient! Read Less
My “go to” blend!

I’ve keep reaching for this tin. Just about as pleasant a smoke as you can get. If you need a little something stronger drop a pinch of plumb pudding in it.

Really nice smoke for times when Latakia is desired but not craved. I’d put this at the light end of a spectrum with Red Odessa in the middle and Pirate Kake at the other end. Boola boola!
Ivy league or Bush league? Who knows?

Reminds me of Field and Stream but with a touch of coffee and cream. As I sit in my yacht and peer across the water to Long Island, I imagine that I could be president one day.

Product: Cornell & Diehl Yale Mixture Bulk
Couple complaints... the cut of the Latakia is rough, kind of wierd and the leaf tastes subpar. I wanted this to be as good or better than Lancer Slices. Its not. It smokes okay. The virgina is aged and offers a terrific tobacco flavor. Better than a... Read More
ny OTC burley product. The Latakia isn't constant, or terrific, but pops and shows here and there producing a reasonable effect. Read Less
Light on the Latakia and Lacks Depth
February 23, 2020
Product: Cornell & Diehl Yale Mixture Bulk
While C&D is known for producing stout mixtures, this was surprisingly lacking. A touch more Latakia, pressing, toasting and just a bit of invert sugar would do this wonders. It lacks depth and not only is the taste thin, but the body is too. Could b... Read More
e great if it was made like Lancers Slices... why not do it Jeremy? This has the potential to be a great Classic English Flake, but alas, it’s just a little more than loose, thin and unremarkable pouch tobacco. Read Less

This is a good all day smoke. Not to strong, not to mild, just right. If was all they had, they would have a winner! Lewis

I like this blend! It lights well, stays lit, and the people around you, my wife, don't run and hide. I will buy it again.

I like this blend! There is not a lot I can find to fault it. The blend is good and so is the price. I am afraid to order more as I would get hooked. Keep u the good work.
Product: Cornell & Diehl Yale Mixture Bulk
I bought this because of the reviews and also I like the name. (I did not go there). The taste is good, it don't bite my tong and it burns well. With a just a little care it will burn to the bottom of the bowl. Buy some, you will like it. Lewis

Product: Cornell & Diehl Yale Mixture Bulk
Rich, silky and smooth smoke. It was completed with the natural sweetness of Virginia and the rich flavor of Latakia. I love Samuel Gawith Commonwealth, so obviously I also love this blend. Both are simple blends, but C & D has a slightly stronge... Read More
