Escudo/Elizabethan Killer

Product: Cornell & Diehl Yorktown 2oz
Over the last 4 or 5 years, Yorktown has become the epitome of a great everyday blend for me. A lot of people have complained about harshness. Yes, it can be harsh. BUT.....the key to this blend that I've found is the pipe and packing method. I've found the small and narrow bowl of a cob pipe works the best and packing the bowl on the tight side helps slow the burn down. I've found with this method it tastes toasty, sweet, bready with baking spice undertones. Tastes similar to cinnamon bread.

I'll be shunned for saying it......but Yorktown is way better than Escudo or Dunhill Elizabethan Mixture. Sure yeah, Yorktown doesn't have perique. Take some Yorktown and add some perique at about 10 to 15%. Maybe even 20%. You'll have something in the same vane. Get Yorktown in bulk or tin. It doesn't matter as I've never noticed a difference between one or the other. I highly recommend it.

Go slow, keep it cool, and this is an excellent Virginia

This is one for Muttonchop's breathe technique. Don't worry about how much smoke is coming out. Just focus on flavor. Let the smoke be wispy. Keep it cool. If you got your pack a little loose, and keep your tamping gentle, it doesn't need drying time. Let it go out because the fire burns upwards too far away from the fuel to keep going sometimes. That's where you get the perfect flavors-- when the ember is right on the edge of going out. When you relight, don't let the flame touch the leaf. Be gentle, please, and you will LOVE this blend.

My notes are Cristal champagne and buttered whole-wheat toast. It can easily be pushed into cigar territory, though I liked that set of flavors, too. If you push it too hard, it can get spicy. It can go into cigarette territory, but it's like old Nat Sherman, not bargain-basement brand. But you're doing it wrong if you're getting that back. Do it right, and you're having a full-bodied champagne with toast, maybe some lemongrass in chardonnay territory sometimes. There is an occasional fermenty note.

Looking at the quality of the leaves in my bulk purchase, I'm impressed. Wonderful smell in the jar.

This is a great smoke for when you're relaxed and patient enough to get the most out of it. Maybe smoke a little burley first, if you're wanting a smoke to calm down. Then follow up with Yorktown when you're already as chill as you want to keep that bowl. The flavors can really wow me when I let them.

This is also great mixed 50/50 with Red Virginia Cavendish. The mix falls naturally right together with no pressing or jar time required, and is considerably easier to get the best flavors from. The mix is different-- more bread, less chardonnay, more comfort than wow-factor. I love Yorktown either in my own blends or by itself. This is a cellar cornerstone.

Average blend for me.

Product: Cornell & Diehl Yorktown 2oz
This wasn't what I was hoping it would be after reading the description. It had a bite to it which hopefully goes away after I let it age in a jar for a few months. The profile was of toast with a mild sweetness. Im not saying I didn't like it, it just wasn't anything that makes you think "wow, I have got to get more of that!". Hopefully a little age will help it though....Read More
