Cornell & Diehl - Latakia
Very Good Latakia
Good to smoke on its own, leather, milk w/ a little bit of sweet. Needs a few re-lights, burns neutral and will not bite. Good for blending. My opinion may be biased as I'm a heavy Latakia lover.
Cornell & Diehl - Granulated Perique
A Versatile Tobacco. Love It.
0.5 star off because it smells like s**t before lighting. Light it up, then everything is good. Taste creamy and sweet, remind me of Orlik Golden Slice (of course, it's a VaPer blend). Iconic spicy smell of Perique. Good to smoke on its own, balanced pH, burns cool and slow. A good blending material for sure. Overall great.
Cornell & Diehl - Izmir Turkish
Great Blending
Exhibit the iconic salty milk tea flavor of Orientals. Good to smoke on itself, burns dry and alkaline. Pair with Virginia to balance the alkalinity. Wonderful blending material.
G. L. Pease - Quiet Nights 2oz
One of My Favorite
This is a perfect English blend. It burns cool, shows the iconic milky flavor of Latakia clearly, taste smooth and sweet with note of citrus. My world is quiet when I smoke this blend. The only thing to complain: I need to wash my hand every time after rubbing out the flake. Please make a 16oz tin.
Gladora - Pesse Canoe Latakia Flake 20 50g
Salty Milk Tea
It takes some effort to light, and needs a few re-lights. Other than that, everything is perfect. It feels like drinking a smooth salty and sweet milk tea, with hint of citrus showing up once in a while. Box is not air tight but humidity is ok. It's like a more exotic version of Quiet Night.
Cornell & Diehl - Dark Fired Kentucky
Good Blending
Very smoky when lighting. If smoked slowly, it's very sweet, with spicy and smoky note. It's ok to smoke directly. When smoked directly, its alkalinity bites w/ bitter taste. It's better to blend with Virginia to neutralize the alkalinity. A good blending component.
Lane Limited - BCA
Good for Blending
Smells and tastes like Autumn Evening, difference is this one is hard to light and needs a lot of re-lights. Used it for blending and worked fine.
Balkan Sasieni - Balkan Sasieni 50g
Salty Citrus
Typical balkan blend smell. Takes some effort to light, first 1/3 bowl can burn hot, but after that, it's salty citrus all the way to the bottom. Could be better after aging, very enjoyable blend.
Daughters & Ryan - Three Sails
Good for RYO
Rolled it and shared with friends, now they start to buy it. Will keep buying when available for RYO. Update: put it into a thick-walled morta pipe, it lights super easy but burns really hot (as expected due to its physical property), tastes sweet though, good for blending.
Half and Half - Half and Half 1.5oz
Hot Chocolate
Light chocolate flavor, burns really hot, must smoke really slow to avoid bites, need a lot of re-lighting. Tried it with RYO, no luck. Won't buy again.
Cornell & Diehl - Autumn Evening 2oz
Best Aromatic So Far
Smells like a candy from childhood. Lights easily and burns cool, easy to smoke and the aroma lasts from start to finish. I'm a fan of English blends but this is the best aromatic I've tried so far.
Cornell & Diehl - Haunted Bookshop 2oz
Must Pair with Coffee
Open up the tin there is strong chocolate smell. Light up, smoke is very strong and burley covers almost everything else. If smoke slow enough I can still feel some chocolate note. Take some iced coffee, chocolate taste back again. Easy to light and easy to smoke.
