Longtime favorite!

Product: Cornell & Diehl Burley Flake #3 2oz
I see 2 star reviews and I have to set the record straight! I had my first bowl of this mighty tobacco back in 2012 and took to it immediately. It's one of my favorite blends. It has a nutty, bready, sourdough tin note. The smoke comes with a strong ... Read More
nicotine content and robust fantastic nutty, cocoa flavor. The Virginia comes in under the burley in every puff and dominates the end with a grassy sweet and plummy finish. Frequently even cigar type notes swirl around the dominant nutty, earthy burley, with just the far out faintest note of something I associate with Nightcap or Billybudd. It's a very full bodied smoke that can hit pretty hard. Make sure you have some food in your system. Smoke with a reasonable moderate cadence (because of nic not the bite). The best part of Burley Flake #3 is so little of this tobacco offers so much. In 5 minutes one can have a fantastic smoke in the smallest bowled pipe. It has a special place in my rotation because of that. Read Less
Nutty, Oak, Black Pepper

Product: Cornell & Diehl Burley Flake #3 2oz
Burley’s are nutty, and deeply earthy; Dark Fired provides oak and black pepper; VA lends a little sweetness with a bready note; perique is tangy, mushroomy. Medium-strong nicotine, flavor and body.
Nice Burley Flake

Product: Cornell & Diehl Burley Flake #3 2oz
This is a nice smoking burley blend, in my opinion. Not as good as the #1 flake, but perfectly acceptable. I did learn from previous experience that the C&D burley flakes rub out and smoke much better after a significant dry out period, otherwise... Read More
it can become a stringy mess. I will always have some form of C&D Burley Flake in my rotation. Read Less
Partially concur with the Freddy c.

Product: Cornell & Diehl Burley Flake #3 2oz
I had high hopes and opened the tin like a tyke on Christmas morning and was no less excited by the look and scent. When I packed the first pipe it was a disappointment. Simply seems too much abuse for very little reward. Nothing particularly or even... Read More
subtly enjoyable balances what to me seems acridity. Usually ash is the byproduct at the end of a smoke, but with this blend it is the characteristic from inception. However, my reverence for C&D is steadfast. Read Less
Tuff Smoke
September 30, 2013
Product: Cornell & Diehl Burley Flake #3 2oz
This tobacco is tuff to smoke. Starts out great, but gets stronger towards the bottom of the pipe bowl. The bite can be somewhat heavy towards the finish also. I thought it might be me, but i tried repacking, smoking slower etc. I just don't about th... Read More
is one. I'll try again later. You be the judge! Read Less
