Cornell & Diehl - Bob Bushman
A competent Burley
The taste is predominantly Burley, with the toppings coming through very mildly if you puff low and slow. It's a pleasant smoke, but not stellar in any respect. A very competent Burley blend in my amateurish opinion. Can bite if smoked too hot and fast. Requires a fair number of relights.
Cornell & Diehl - Founding Fathers
A pleasant and mild pomegranate blend
Just smoked my first bowl of Cornell and Diehl Founding Fathers, and I am quite happy with it. It's a mild aromatic, in the sense that the tobacco flavor/aroma is prominent alongside a noticeable but relatively subtle fruit topping (I want to say pomegranate?). The tobacco base isn't quite as flavorful as what I detect in Boswell blends, but it was still nice. I packed it with the 3 stage method. It took a few tries to get it lit, but once lit it burned easily, going out only when I forgot to tamp. It produced a rich, creamy smoke when I puffed as I usually do. When I tried the "breath" method, I found it to produce rich creamy smoke effortlessly, and much more coolly. That was a first, for me. It smoked easily down to the last 1/4 or so of the bowl, when I started needing to relight more often. It still produced good flavor. When I decided it was done, I dumped out mostly gray ash with a tiny little bit of unburnt material. I smoked it in an author shaped morta pipe byTurkiewicz, with a 9mm balsa filter. I'd say it's a solid 3 out of 4.
