Really Good mild English
March 16, 2018
Product: Cornell & Diehl Professor 2oz
I love English blends, this one isn't a Latakia laden bomb, it has a nice English character with a lightness that makes this ideal for an everyday smoke. Glad I bought a couple of tins as this won't last long.
Excellent

This blend induces a near meditative state, and honestly has helped me think through some problems more than once. Smooth and satisfying, this is my favorite all day tobacco.
Well-Balanced Flavor

After smoking two tins in my regular rotation, I find Professor to be one of my favorite light-to-mild blends. Perhaps most impressive is the combination of components and cut. Professor packs well, and while it smokes well from a new tin, I prefer ... Read More
to let it dry overnight to bring out a bit more flavor from the various components. This also helps with the packing as I can tamp a little more tightly for the light. Professor is similar to GL Pease Piccadilly in its flavor profile, but I find Professor to be a bit more complex in the subtle delivery of flavor. This is also in the same range as Dunhill London Mixture and Standard Mixture for those seeking an alternative to those blends. Although the flavor profile is different from those blends, it does resemble them in terms of the amount and presence of Latakia. Again, I think the inclusion of the Cavendish with the lighter Virginias and Perique provide a subtle, yet distinguishable, difference in the complexity of flavors, a complexity that does not produce a confusion of flavors but instead produces a good harmony in the overall composition. The bright Virginias and Perique provide a nice base where I detect a slight grassiness and pepper but not as noticeable as in a straight Va/Per. The Cavendish does a nice job here of squelching those flavors and allowing the Latakia to come to the foreground throughout the bowl. Opening a tin the Latakia is first in the nose, and this scent mirrors the presence of the Latakia throughout the smoke. Professor is a good second or third pipe of the early morning for me, and I usually come back to it throughout the day. I recommend this highly and would love to see at least an 8 ounce version for those of us who will include this in their regular rotation. Highly recommended Read Less

I agree with pipe guy. Troubles melt away after I smoke this awesome English blend. A must try blend. I just wish it was sold in 8-16 ounce tin.
Very Good Complex Blend

Product: Cornell & Diehl Professor 2oz
Professor is a very nice blend; and, I will add it to my rotation. I'm not quite sure whether to think of this as an English or Balkan blend. As the Orientals are little more forward than the Latakia I guess Balkan is most appropriate. Very comple... Read More
x as I could taste different tobaccos at different times points in the bowl. The blend starts out sweet from Virginias. A short time later the smokiness of the Latakia starts to come forward. Next, the Orientals start to come forward for a period. Finally, I tasted pepper probably from Perique. A very rich and complex smokiness dominate maybe the last quarter of the bowl. Very very nice. I will keep smoking this bloend. Read Less
Nice & Mild

To me Professor is a toned down equivalent to Sutliff’s 526 Old Professor. Just a mellow smoke for when you want to chill and drink a great glass of Irish whisky
