A Deertongue VA-Per ~ Truly Unique & Tasty
October 12, 2017
Product: Cornell & Diehl Gentleman Caller 2oz
Essentially G.C. is a nice Va-Per with a deertongue herb topping, and it's wonderful. Fresh smell of deertongue mixed with notes of quality Virginias and Perique translates to a wonderful smoke. You simply can't go wrong with this stuff if you're loo... Read More
king for something new and interesting. Unlike Crooner, it's not Burley-forward and doesn't have that distinctive smell of alfalfa and dried farmer's hay. ***I highly recommend buying a cob for this blend*** because it will GHOST your briars to the point of no return. For the best possible experience with Gentleman Caller, buy a new M.M. cob dedicate it solely to this blend. M.M. cobs are such a great value, and this blend tastes amazing in one anyhow. Read Less

This blend is the pinnacle of deer tongue blends. It has the perfect amounts of perique, and deer tongue, and I am a fan of both. All olfactory perceptions of this blend are reminiscent of bygone days and the old men sitting around talking and smokin... Read More

I can't get over how interesting this blend is. To be honest I can't tell if I like it or not. I keep smoking it though, it's strange to me. It has moments of sweetness, sometimes an herbal aroma, occasionally potpourri aroma. I didn't get any bite o... Read More
r moisture and it is an easy tobacco to light. This reminds me of a stronger Sillems Linea Epoque Antique, but this has the deer tongue herbal note. Despite not being able to tell if I like it, I recommend trying Gentleman Caller because it is a very well done blend, nothing wrong with it. Very unique. Read Less

I cannot say more for this tobacco. It is awesome stuff, no bite, no fuss, LOVE my deertounge. If you haven’t tried a blend like this, then this is the blend to try.
Pleasant Room Note

Product: Cornell & Diehl Gentleman Caller 2oz
This may be the Acme of Deertongue blends. I have tried others in bulk, but this is supreme. The addition of a small amount of Perique adds quite a bit to the flavor and complexity. This is a fine aromatic that leaves a remarkable room note.

If you enjoy the smell of an elderly lady with overbearing perfume, then you'll love this. I enjoy tobacco, not herbs, in my pipe.

This is a unique blend with an odd flavor. if your into that, not me. If you prefer more strait up blends i wouldnt go for it. Deer tongue is strong

needs to try it. Some won't like it, but you have to determine that for yourself. The vanilla description is misleading- this blend is very herbal with some sweetness, but I would equate the taste more with mint or even rosemary. I can't wait to take the full measure of this blend and I'm likely to stock up on 5 to 10 tins immediately. Read Less

This was one of several new (to me) tobaccos I brought with me on a recent vacation to the Caribbean. What a disappointment. Upon opening it, I was reminded of the smell of carpet freshener. The taste was heavily perfumed; the perique seemed complete... Read More
ly absent. I tried several bowls, but was unable to finish even one of them. I found the taste sickening. It is the only tobacco I've ever tried that was able to ghost a Meerschaum. I brought it to my local pipe club meeting and about half the people thought the tin note was interesting. The other half recoiled in disgust at the smell of it. It might benefit from some aging, but in my case I opted to give it to the fellow at the pipe club who seemed to like the smell the most. Caveat emptor. Read Less

blend and that Gentleman Caller was similar. I'm glad I did. Cornell & Diehl always make a good blend and this one really captures the "old" Half & Half blend but, in my opinion, is made with better quality tobacco. I think the deer tongue was lost in the new OTC blend. I'm ordering more today. Read Less

Product: Cornell & Diehl Gentleman Caller 8oz
This blend always reminds me of the smell of the interior leather of an old man's car or, perhaps, an old wallet with traces of musk and vanilla bean cologne on it. That essence also seems to come through in the flavor of this blend and there's somet... Read More
hing about both of those characteristics that I find very satisfying. The tobaccos themselves are quite decent on their own, although the deer tongue can be a bit harsh, but I think the flavor and room note it provides are well worth it. Not everyone will like this blend, to be sure, but for those looking for something a little different or interesting, I'd definitely say give this one a try. Read Less
Not your everyday bowl

Product: Cornell & Diehl Gentleman Caller 2oz
The deertongue is not your everyday profile but man is it good! Some love this some hate it, I feel its either for you or its not. I would for sure use a cob as this will ghost out your pipe and fast, two sips and your pipe is toast.

I've tried a few blends that has Deertongue in it and liked them a lot. So I jumped the gun and decided to try this despite some of the negative reviews. It kinda blew me away with the flavor and room note. Pretty awesome stuff. I get so many flavors... Read More
from this it's hard to pick out just one, but vanilla caramel latte with a dash of cinnamon comes to mind. It came at the right moisture as I didn't dry it out before lighting up my first bowl. Smoked it to the bottom without any relights, just a few tamps here and there. Nice strength, more of a 3 out of a 5 and the Va/per combo just adds the body most aros lack. Not goopy, no bite, but I would probably dedicate a pipe to this, it may or may not ghost your pipe as some of the other blends like Crooner has ghosted a couple of my pipes, but not in a bad way.

Gentleman Caller evokes another age in pipe tobacco perfectly. I’ve smoked many tins of Crooner, and loved every bowl. Crooner is more Burley forward, in Gentleman Caller Burley plays a more minor role. The Virginia and Deertongue play center stag... Read More
e. While Deertongue smells similar to vanilla, for me at least it really doesn’t taste like vanilla. Most Vanilla topped/Cased blends to me at least taste like someone shaved a cheap vanilla candle into the blend … nothing like that even remotely happens with Gentleman Caller, just well behaved, wonderful Virginia and a light hand of Burley. The room note is wonderful, compliment evoking completely absent of anything artificial or cloying.
This is a wonderful blend, cool/clean burning, leaving little to no dottle. This performs extremely well in a Corn cob or dedicated briar pipe. When you are looking for a nice semi-aromatic smoke that everyone around you will enjoy, reach for it! Read Less
Different
November 27, 2020
Product: Cornell & Diehl Gentleman Caller 2oz
So this is tough to place, perhaps deer tongue aficionados can explain better, but for the less elite, I’d say it’s just a relatively solid but nondescript smoke. It doesn’t have a sweet vanilla taste. The first few puffs have an herbal type flavor, ... Read More
and a weird powdered texture that fades quickly. I must say I like it, but I just place it as so many other blends. I agree there is a minty overtone. It lights and smokes easily, without much maintenance. I must say, that it sells briskly in 8oz tins says that many find this a 5 star. I reserve that 5th star for now. Read Less

t a nice subtle undertone. I can’t give a specific answer as to what the deer tongue tastes like. It has an earthy yet lightly sweet flavor to compliment the Virginia and the Perique.

The tin note is the best part of this blend; it smells like a freshly baked cake. The flavor, however, is just ok. It tastes like a Virginia with a bit of sweetness, which a good Virginia already has anyway.

Great smoke, easy to light with no tongue bite. With the Perique it adds a level of spiciness that isn’t over bearing and to me it has a vanilla taste to it. Very enjoyable blend that I will be investing more into!
Not really an aromatic

Aromatic with some spice

Room note is pleasant smell of black pepper and dried straw. Tin was dry to damp. Pleasant all day smoke, with no bite and a bit of spice. A typical aromatic, with a nice peppery taste that increasing as you smoke it.
