An Elegant Eldrich Sandwich
November 11, 2017
Product: Cornell & Diehl Dreams of Kadath 2oz
A tight-pressed plug with flavor of monstrous proportions. The light but unique casing adds a distinctive flavor of raisins, apple cider, and cinnamon, while letting the menagerie of component tobaccos to really shine. Imagine Plum Pudding with Latak... Read More
ia swapped for Dark Fired Kentucky, and with a clearer note of [Katerini] Orientals. Tin note is a tornado of aromas. Room note is equally nice, and doesn't linger like other DFK-forward blends. The tiny amount of Black Cavendish is of the unsweetened English variety. Fairly strong nicotine content, about 7/10 and likely boosted by the Burley content, which is subtle in flavor. Like H.P. Lovecraft's great short stories, the experience of smoking this blend has a beautifully dark & mysterious side to it. Lovers of simple & straightforward blends will appreciate this one, as the flavoring is subtle. This is one plug I sincerely hope sticks around for a long time. Another great product from C&D—you can't go wrong with these guys. Read Less
Unique and Singular
July 01, 2018
Product: Cornell & Diehl Dreams of Kadath 2oz
Dreams of Kadath is powerful, complex, intoxicating, fragrant, and smokes like a dream also. I'm rapidly falling in love with this blend, and will be buying at least a pound of it as soon as I have the loot. Kadath is very fragrant, with fruity, bo... Read More
ozy qualities that actually remind me of another favorite ... GL Pease's Gaslight, which leads me to believe that Katerini is the suspect, though I could be wrong. These delightful fragrances come through as delicious flavors in the smoke, bolstered by the Virginia, Kentucky, and Perique tobacco flavors that sometimes take over, and sometimes subside below. I attribute this beautiful interplay between delightful fragrances and delicious tobacco to the nature of a good plug tobacco, always mixing things up and keeping you on your toes. To cap it off, Kadath has a very strong finish that lovers of strong tobaccos will definitely enjoy. In my opinion this is a manly aromatic plug. One filled with aromatic tobaccos, and perhaps a little booze flavoring. Awesome. Read Less

Skyrocketed to the top of rotation. To bad it’s currently out of stock. Would buy a pound if I could. Big flavors.

Yes, the Masterpiece of Tobacco! You must try this thing! The rest has already been said.
My New Favorite Tin
August 03, 2018
Product: Cornell & Diehl Dreams of Kadath 2oz
Mississippi Mud used to be my favorite C&D blend. Then I tried all their eldritch blends, and found this one. Now, my only complaint is that it doesn't come in larger tins. The aging of this cake, combined with the tobaccos used, produces a fragr... Read More

Surprised by this one
July 05, 2018
Product: Cornell & Diehl Dreams of Kadath 2oz
I'm glad I tried this one. I was surprised by how good it was. This tobacco helped me get a better handle on what it means for a tobacco to be complex. Different in a good way from all the other non-aromatics I've tried. Would buy again.
Boozy Goodness
March 14, 2018
Product: Cornell & Diehl Dreams of Kadath 2oz
I love this mix, it's boozy and flavorful and has a boozy, spicey, apple cider quality to it which works really well. Great blend.
Powerful is right
June 29, 2019
Product: Cornell & Diehl Dreams of Kadath 2oz
Straight forward is right as well. Tin note is strong, and the smoke is no different. I feel maybe it deserves more then three stars for strength. The casing is magical, in a way that doesn’t completely cover the tobacco taste. Almost seems to “turn ... Read More

Sublime, Complex and Meditative
March 14, 2019
Product: Cornell & Diehl Dreams of Kadath 2oz
This one has a very pleasant aroma of raisins and plums straight out of the tin. The complexity of flavors is amazing. I get mostly a flavor of raisin/plum and perhaps something like rum (though there's no added flavoring that I know of). It's a p... Read More
lug, so be ready for some extra preparation time. DoK is a bit hard to get going at first, but stays lit pretty well with some gentle tamping. Has a medium strength Nic-hit, but doesn't bite. Pleasant aftertaste. Benefits from some drying out time. Try a "rough" rub out, keeping larger pieces of the leaves for added flavor complexity. One of my new favorites! Read Less
Beautiful plug.
September 08, 2018
Product: Cornell & Diehl Dreams of Kadath 2oz
Tin note is fig, and is just delicious smelling, plug is beautiful, moist taste like others have said, is monstrous. Just wish it was available in 8-16 ounce tin. My favorite Cornell and Diehl to date.
Apple Spice!
May 09, 2018
Product: Cornell & Diehl Dreams of Kadath 2oz
A boozy smoky Apple is what comes through in tin note. About a quarter to half way through the bowl you get the same flavor profile as what you smelled in the tin. For me the smell is the same as you exhale through the mouth and inhale through th... Read More
e nostrils. Lovely. May I recommend Jim Beam Apple with this blend as the flavor profiles are almost identical. This would make a great fall time blend during harvest time but also works well during summer months. I bought a tin to sample now and a tin to sample in the fall with a few months of age on it. A real winner in my book! Room note is more of a woodsy smoke but not bad. Read Less
So, so interesting

Product: Cornell & Diehl Dreams of Kadath 2oz
Bordering on a spiritual experience. Such an interesting smoke, from start to fine white ash finish.
Fruity and pleasant
November 15, 2019
Product: Cornell & Diehl Dreams of Kadath 2oz
A light, pleasant, fruity plug. If there is a topping here, it is light. This is a good middle ground between and aromatic and non-aromatic, although it's almost too far toward the aromatic side of things for me to really love it.
Dreams of my next bowl

Product: Cornell & Diehl Dreams of Kadath 2oz
C&D has become my favorite for pipe blends and this yet another example of why. The room and especially the tin note of this blend is outstanding. The flavor is bold and delicious. Hints of spice and raisins give this blend a lot depth. A real wi... Read More

This is the heaviest smoke I've had in my short time with a pipe. I loved it, the flavor is an absolute delight (still not sure how to pin point some of the flavors), but the smoke was so thick that my eyes were watering. That's totally a personal th... Read More

Nothing Similar
October 23, 2019
Product: Cornell & Diehl Dreams of Kadath 2oz
This is not a go-to for me, but something you'd pair perfectly with a dram of brandy or port-wine. Raisins/Cinnamon/Wine and cider all create a powerful taste profile for this blend. Definitely worth a try but not for everyone.
Excellent

Orientals and Perique with hints of grape/raisins. This will be my go to smoke for a while.
Smell of death
October 22, 2019
Product: Cornell & Diehl Dreams of Kadath 2oz
Maybe my batch was spoiled, but it smelled bitter and putrid. I could not smoke it at all.
Product: Cornell & Diehl Dreams of Kadath 2oz
I get a strong smell of plums from the plug. Within seconds after removing it from the jar to cut off a flake, the entire room smells like plums. Even my wife noticed how strong the aroma is. Very pleasant. The smoke has a nice dark, fruity sweetness... Read More
. Also a little spice. At times I feel like I'm getting a sort of dark rum taste, but not often, and not overpowering. I have only been smoking a pipe for a couple months, so I haven't yet learned to pick out individual tobacco varietals, or their specific nuances. But even though I am a newbie in this hobby, I really enjoy this tobacco. It has made my favorites list, and I will definitely be keeping a plug or 2 of this around. Read Less
“Big Boy” Aromatic
August 13, 2019
Product: Cornell & Diehl Dreams of Kadath 2oz
This is a tasty blend but the topping is pretty intense! I was hoping to delve into the dreamland the tin had suggested but the deliciousness of the topping kept me from drifting too far. Very good - but not for somebody who is looking to dissect raw... Read More

Drives you to insanity!

Product: Cornell & Diehl Dreams of Kadath 2oz
I won’t bother attempting to describe the flavor or aroma. It’s far too nuanced and complex for anything near accurate. Attempting anything like it will drive your sanity from you.

January 11, 2018
Product: Cornell & Diehl Dreams of Kadath 2oz
WOW! What a complex and rich tobacco. The flavor evolves as you work your way through the bowl. The katerini oriental in it is so good! Can't wait to try others in this serious. I would highly recommend.
