18 year old Perique
April 08, 2020
Product: Cornell & Diehl Carolina Red Flake with Perique 2oz
Carolina Red Flake with Perique is a fantastic blend. 18 year old Perique with sweet 2 year old Red Virginias. Cellar this for a few years so the Virginias catch up & meld with the Perique and you will be in for a treat.

Carolina Red Flake has been my favorite small batch release by Cornell and Diehl. I’m not really sure what the gentleman is saying about the extraordinary price of this blend because it’s almost the exact same price as every other tin of premium toba... Read More

开盖闻起来非常酸，比圣布都酸。点燃抽起来不像V草，没有任何酸甜的味道，一股煤味土味加重坚果味还有种说不出的不好味道，抽到接近中后段的时候感觉腻的想吐，于是倒掉。无法接受这个味道，扔柜子里放着吧，不会再碰了。

erneath subtle resin/fig/prune.Perfect moist level,pack fine in the pipe doesnt matter what methode you are using(i use the Frank methode)Takes the flame easily.The taste:how can you put in words the taste of the "goodness"?or the taste of the place where fruits are dried ,or an old Hobbit woman making a cake with resins?(sorry im a die hard Tolkien devouty)it smokes cool and slow .You can smoke it fast i guess but why would you do that?Best enjoyed is to draw just sippets(if that is a word)and enjoy it while you sitting in your library or by the campfire if you visit the Elves,or smoke it with a Hobitt company while telling stories.Fair warning ;dont smoke it walking cause it would impair your response time and you risk to be hit by a car or impacting lamp posts lol.The pipe im smoking is a Savinelly 623 Roma.Highest recomendation .

I loved the Carolina Red Flake from last year. When I saw they made another Small Batch with Perique, I ordered several tins. Heaven! A previous reviewer had it right. Cellar a few tins and this will be awesome! Thanks Jeremy and Cornell and Diehl.

Glad I bought more than the one. This smoked divinely. The perique gave a wonderful flavor to the sweet virginia leaf. I'll be happy if this comes back around again next year.

This is a very good tobacco blend. You should buy it. You should know that my recommendation is essentially a guarantee. I feel lucky to have gotten a few tins before they sold out. End of Speech.

Looking Forward To More Aging
April 13, 2020
Product: Cornell & Diehl Carolina Red Flake with Perique 2oz
Going into this blend, I was curious how it would compare to the 20th Ann. XX Dark Flake put out by Smokingpipes and C&D, as their makeup and components are very similar.
Upfront, the Perique stood out in its pepperiness. I agree with others tha... Read More
t the Perique seems to be stronger in this blend than in the XX Dark Flake. The red Virginas were certainly evident however (especially at mid bowl till the end), bringing forth dark fruity and earthy notes. The fermented character I assume comes from both elements.
If you are a lover of Perique, this blend will definitely satisfy. Their age and quality is evident. The Virginas are enjoyable, though age is needed I believe, to bring them forward and pull the Perique back a bit. Not a top VaPer for me and it settled slightly below my expectations, but it is still a solid blend that I will pull out of the cellar from time to time.
I would give XX Dark Flake a 9/10 and this blend a 7/10 (though age will no doubt boost the rating up) Read Less
Absolutely Delicious
April 13, 2020
Product: Cornell & Diehl Carolina Red Flake with Perique 2oz
Dark fruit and Rye notes. Sweet and malty on the finish. The Perique is the perfect addition to this already amazing Virginia. If this gets better with age it may just be a new all time favorite.

P.S.- I assessed the price per pound; two ounces is barely enough to reacclimate one pipe, so as to know how this blend truly tastes.

Without having sampled this particular mixture, I can consider it to be a (now) rare find, but at well over $100.00 after including P/Handling, it is for the "haves", not us little guys who must budget their expenses. Read Less
Good, but wanted more perique

Product: Cornell & Diehl Carolina Red Flake with Perique 2oz
This is a nice blend for sure, very well balanced although I would have liked to have seen more perique. Vastly different flavor profile from the straight red it’s mixed with, a good sign
Good stuff

This is quite good. Bought six tins so that I could try some and have a bit to cellar. After drying it out I found a raisin like sweetness with a mellow spice, followed by a punch of nicotine. Immediately bought seven more tins. I will open a tin... Read More

It's definitely a young blend and would benefit with some aging. It's a decent smoke but it lacks complexity
Thats some Perique!

Product: Cornell & Diehl Carolina Red Flake with Perique 2oz
So I popped the tin about 8 hours ago and the tin note reminded me of fig newton's, but a little more toasty. Upon smoking it I understand where that toasty scent came from. The Perique dominates this tobacco, it's not quite smokey in flavor which is... Read More
why I use the term toasty instead. Its spicy, very spicy upon retrohaling. The earthiness of the Virginia's is subtle in the background of the perique, with a very slight sourness.
Overall it's a very enjoyable smoke, but I've never experienced a VaPer in which the Perique shines so brightly. As a predominantly english smoker, I confess the potency of the Perique is a little much for me, but it fits brilliantly with the chill in the air. It was pretty moist out of the tin, though I did not get any tounge bite from it, but I let my bowl sit out to dry for a couple hours before smoking.
I do enjoy this smoke, in general it's a good spicy VaPer, with tones of earthy Virginia in the background, and it certainly owns the title "W/Perique". Read Less
