Cornell & Diehl - Billy Budd
Decent smoke
Tin note is pretty latakia heavy. Honestly expected alittle more from this blend. The Burley is there, but very submissive. The Virginia's are alot more present to my palate, and the cigar leaf does give just a hit of a leather to it. All and all is a decent smoke. Can bite if its fresh from tin upon light up and relights. Room note is nice for an English. Not my favorite, but definitely not bad. Give it a try, maybe itll be right up your alley.

Holy wow
One of if not the best Virginia blends I've ever had. If you're hesitant on trying, trust me, just go for it. I almost passed on this blend on my order, and im so glad i did not. Im not a huge Virginia fan, but this blend is beautiful. Some bright citrus notes, that mellow into a soft sweet. As the bowl progresses, begin to get richer and bolder flavor. Nearly a roasted/candied nut and fruit with a light woody/hay like finish. Tobacco was sampled in a fresh MM Raven, so no possibility of ghosting from other tobacco. Room note is very pleasant and wife approved. The only down to this tobacco is it is so good, you have to remember to slow down. Very clean and no tongue bite straight out of tin, unless you just get carried away. Will definitely be ordering more! C&D, you hit this one out of the park!
