Product: Cornell & Diehl Autumn Evening Bulk
I eyed this tobacco for some time, and waited until Autumn to buy it. I was scared that it would be an overly moist, soapy aromatic, and I had friends who said it was “bitey”. As soon as I opened the tin, my nose hadn’t even got close to it and I was... Read More
greeted with a beautiful sweet smell of maple. I was intrigued to find out about this ‘red virginia cavendish’ from C&D and I packed my pipe and lit it for the first time.
It was good, sweet and took light easily. The flavors were subtle and I got the taste of maple with the virginia cavendish tobacco. Middle of the bowl, it got a lot better, and I must say that that’s where the fun will stop for some people; during the final stages of my smoke I couldn’t taste any maple, but I could taste the tobacco. I have never tasted the straight red virginia cavendish from C&D so I couldn’t tell you if there was a difference, but boy I felt the nicotine was strong. It was relaxing - this is probably one to smoke indoors sitting comfortably with something good to read. I did take it out once, but didn’t appreciate it as much.
There’s not a lot going on at once, it’s not a complicated blend. However, I would go as far as to say it’s one of the best aromatics I have tried. I enjoyed it so much, I bought a new pipe and dedicated it solely to this tobacco. That way nothing can change the delicate flavour this gives.
It doesn’t bite as much as I was expecting - dumping the ash mid bowl seemed to revamp the taste of the maple. Read Less

Not a Fan of this type of Aromatic!

Product: Cornell & Diehl Autumn Evening 2oz
I am NOT A fan of this type os Aromatic tobacco. So you may wonder WHY I bought a tin? All I can say is that I was suckered into buying it because of the promotion, the packaging, and my deep respect for MOST of what C&D produces. I like to tr... Read More
y almost everything in pipe tobacco, at least once. Consider myself a connoisseur and I believe that I shouldn't judge a thing until I've tried it. Big mistake. This blend is EXACTLY why I generally don't like many aromatics. The taste of Maple, or Brown Sugar or pancakes simply does not belong in my pipe bowl. I ate pancakes this very morning. I don't need to smoke them. The taste of this heavily sweetened, overly flavored tobacco was so cloying that I can't get the unpleasant taste out of my mouth yet. The classic "Cavendish" sweetness that I most hate is redolent in this blend. If you love Captian Black White or any other of the thousands of cheaply made, overly sweet stuff your grandfather smoked for thirty years, then you will love this. I'm an English, Balkan, Va/Per, Va/Burley, straight Virginia smoker, and I know what I like. I also know what I hate, and this personifies everything I HATE in pipe tobacco. I hope I can get the taste out of my mouth some day, and I pray that I can rid my new Nording Prince of it's fouling aftertaste. Buyer BEWARE!! Read Less

So does the taste, very maply, not overwealmingly sweet, you get a touch of the tobacco taste and it burns cool and dry. no bite, just a few relights and burns to ash. i have dedicated a pipe for this blend, and its truly amazing. very recommanded.

be. The retro hale brought me in the front door. After a third of a bowel the concentration of nicotine knocked me on my butt. This more nicotine then I'm use to. Sure wouldn't drive a car smoking this. I'm no stranger to nicotine and I love aromatics, Lane BCA is my daily go to and that's just how it works for me. I don't care for Lane 1-Q but I like Lane Black Raspberry! Bill Bailey's Birthday Blend works also. I bought a lifetime supply of Autumn Evening the 8oz container. It's packed somewhat dryer then I accustomed to and needs no drying time. A little goes a long way with me. Perhaps on a very cool autumn in a very small pipe.

one, does bourbon like C&D. Their bourbon flavoring is the best out there; strong and true to taste. The crispy dry Virginia Cavendish leaf is actually fairly stout in nicotine and has a pleasant finish. This is becoming a favorite after the initial disgust I had with it. Room note is maple syrup. I recommend drying this as it will improve. Oct 2019 - This has the potential to be a great aromatic; fragrant but with a tobacco forward flavor, and absolutely no goopy - overly topped leaf. Yet, it has so many toppings, it ruins it. Making a great aromatic borders on impossible... there's very few of them out there, and this one almost made it. The cut, moisture, leaf... they're all great, even the maple topping is fine. Where this one falls from its rank is the addition of whiskey, bourbon AND rum, combined with vanilla... 5 toppings is too many. Dial it back to 2 or 3, and it's in a class by itself. Read Less

Good Taste & Consistent Burn
June 02, 2017
Product: Cornell & Diehl Autumn Evening Bulk
What makes this aromatic tobacco stand out is its consistency of the burn and taste down to the bottom of the bowl. I smoke aromatics occasionally and have been on a search for more than 20 years for an aromatic that remains consistent to the end in ... Read More
terms of burn quality and taste. There are many fine aromatics out there, but very few tick these boxes. I attribute this to one or a combination of the uses of propylene glycol (preservative), the flavoring, or/and the Cavendish processing. Most aromatics tend to burn hotter and wetter as they near the bottom of the bowl, even my work-a-day tobacco, Lane 1-Q. Autumn Evening, which contains no Cavendish- processed tobaccos, has a mild topping and little PG (if any at all). It does not leave the same cloying aftertaste that many aromatics tend to leave behind. The downside is that I really do not get a taste of the Virginias, but the topping is quite pleasant and I can taste it more than any other aromatic (as many of you know, the tin aroma of most aromatics does not mean that you can actually taste the tobacco during the smoke) The room note is very pleasing. A pipe of Autumn Evening is usually my last pipe of the day while watching some tele or taking a last look at the news of the day. Highly recommended for new smokers because of the characteristics above, and recommended also for breaking in a new aromatic pipe for the same reasons - does not impregnate the bottom of the bowl with a concentration of PG and topping.

weet tooth. I purchased this tobacco quite a few years back and really wasn't crazy about it at the time. I remember not knowing how to smoke nearly as good as I do now and had the typical issues with cadence, moisture, and heat. So like several other tobaccos I tried and didn't like or understand at the time it got put in with all my tins in my cellar to come back to later. Well that turned into almost 9 years before I decided I really wanted to try it again. Perhaps aging helped it some plus I've gained a lot of experience since I last tried it and I really enjoyed my recent smokes off this blend. The flavor is of mostly of maple syrup and sweet but not as strong or in your face as the tin note might imply. The tobacco burns really cool and dry for an aromatic. The room note reminds me a little of a good pecan pie in the oven. I don't think I'll be smoking it all the time or getting into aromatics in general as I am a non aromatic smoker. I thought it might be helpful to others to mention as a person who normally does not crave aromatics I can actually find this serviceable on occasion. Who knows you might even like it too. Read Less
Really intense blend and easy combustion
September 22, 2016
Product: Cornell & Diehl Autumn Evening 8oz
Aside from the incredible maple touch scent, this one grants certain flavour with each puff and has an easy combustion due to it being loose. I strongly recommend it accompanied by a single or double of good brandy or Scotch

rly moist and lit well and stayed lit. I did not wait too long because I was too excited to try this.
I was a bit underwhelmed with how much I did not get the same syrup/maple smell or taste during the smoke that I was expecting based on the aroma of maple syrup that took over my kitchen area from the open tin. I smoked 2 bowls and the 2nd bowl tasted better than the first. So I'm thinking it will only improve over time. Definitely sip this as it will bite if you puff too quick.
The smoke was pleasant though and did have a sweet syrup smell, just not as much as I expected based on the maple syrup pancake to the face I got when I first opened the tin. I've tried other aromatics that had much more flavor.
I definitely don't hate this and may update my review once I've had more time to leave the tin on the shelf and/or have a few more bowls.
Overall it's mild and good after a long day when all I want to do is come home and relax. I'll definitely keep a tin of this around. Read Less

e flavored were raised on Mrs. Butterworth's. There is as much, if not more, butterscotch flavor here than maple. It tastes so much like DeKuyper Buttershots Schnapps that I'd be surprised if that wasn't used for the topping.
Second, I was surprised how harsh this was on the tongue, considering it was a popular aromatic. I found I had to smoke it very softly to avoid a harsh taste on the tongue. I got practically no butterscotch taste in my mouth, that was all in the room note, so if I was outside, I needed to retrohale to taste anything. In fact, the best thing I can say about this tobacco is that it made me think deeply about the difference between the palates of the nose and the mouth, and how I appreciate a combination of the two from pipe smoking, wine, etc.
Last, this tobacco ghosts a pipe like nothing else I've ever smoked. I recommend smoking it in a cob until you're certain you like it.
If you are thinking of buying this tobacco, I'd recommend you try Virginia Cream or King Cake instead. Read Less

I love the room note of this blend. It shouts autumn. but it shouts autumn breakfast, not evening. The maple topping is quite strong and I honestly preffered this as a morning smoke to an evening smoke. It tasted good, but left me with some bite and ... Read More

Bought bulk, arrived VERY dry

Product: Cornell & Diehl Autumn Evening Bulk
Was expecting more from this blend. Does smell good in the jar and great room note, but lacked flavor. Found it very dry upon arrival; bought it bulk. Haven’t tried it from the tin yet. Experienced some bite with first couple of bowls. After adding s... Read More
ome moisture back, the bite seemed to mostly disappear and more flavor was present. If it arrived more moist and cellared for 5-6 months, this blend would be outstanding. Read Less
Good, could be sweeter

I'm a huge fall and winter fan. Those are my times do the year. I didn't get the maple flavor for all that long. It is also very weak. Reading other reviews maybe I got a weaker batch. I'll buy another tin in the future to compare it to.
Interesting Tobacco

Product: Cornell & Diehl Autumn Evening 2oz
I am not a fan of aromatics, but this looked interesting so I thought I would give it a go. It's not overly sweet or goopy and has a pleasant Maple Syrup tinge to it. It's a pleasant smoke. I don't think it will be an everyday thing for me, more so w... Read More
hen I am in the mood for something a little more fragrant. Not my cup of tea, but still a really good tobacco. It packs and lights well and has a pleasant room note. If you're into aromatics and love maple syrup, give it a try. Read Less
It's okay, but not worth the price I paid.

Product: Cornell & Diehl Autumn Evening 2oz
I paid almost 40 Canadian dollars for 2oz of this, so my review is gonna be biased. For the price on here it's worth trying but not making regular unless you like it. Did not realize it was an aromatic. Bought in Ontario where you can't see the ti... Read More
ns behind the counter. Okay, it says red cavendish aromatic when I got it home. I don't mind aromatics. Popped the tin and was greeted with maple syrup and pancakes. Reminds me of a campfire breakfast. I like it so far, but does it smoke good? It smokes okay at best. Not much tobacco flavour but a bit. But the campfire breakfast taste is of cheap Aunt Jemima pancakes and artificial maple syrup. Worst off, it clashed and overpowers the natural tobacco. I can say I did enjoy it at times when I was craving it, but it is just not worth buying again. Below average. Not bad, but not good. Read Less
TOO MUCH MAPLE!!

Product: Cornell & Diehl Autumn Evening 2oz
Not a bad blend but there´s too much maple flavor to my taste. this is an enjoyable smoke for those craving for heavy cased aromatics. It has a good quality virginias though.
but not for me

It's so special sweet and warm.

First time I tryed this i purchased an 8 oz tin. It was very mapley and good. However you really cant taste the virginias, and they are not very good quality. But i dod like the flavor and aroma. Second time i purchased a 16 oz tin, and the maple was... Read More
almost non existent and the tobacco itself not a very good quality to enjoy without flavoring or casing. My point, C&D aromatics are not consistent ! I havent really smoked aromatics in years but i like to keep one or two on hand when my sweet tooth strikes me. Sutliff and McClelland aromatics are always the same, i know what im going to get. Wish i could say the same for C&D ! Seems Autumn Evening is the leftover shake virginias from other tobaccos that didnt cut it. Read Less

good tobacco. but nomal. not great.
Product: Cornell & Diehl Autumn Evening 2oz
This tobacco tastes and smells like the smoking section of an IHOP at 3:00 a.m. I couldn't shake the sensation that what I was smoking was ground up bits of pancake that had been used to sponge up a cigarette-filled ashtray. But hey, it's a really ... Read More

An OK Aromatic!
April 10, 2015
Product: Cornell & Diehl Autumn Evening 2oz
I just smoked 1 bowl of the 4 oz I received yesterday and was amazed of how the taste was present in every puff. The aroma was noticeable through the postal box and when I opened it I immediately opened its bag to take a deep sniff of the wonderful m... Read More
aple syrup smell. Although I did smoke some aromatics these past months, none came as close to give its taste as Autumn Evening does. Maple in every puff. Highly recommended for any aromatic lover.
Edit 8/12/2015: Got another sample of this great blend. Raising this to 4.5 stars. One of my favourite all time smokes. Great stuff!
Edit 11/21/2015: Down rating it to 3.5 stars as I came sadly to unlike the Red Virginia Cavendish. Although the maple aroma is great, its really bad downside is C&D's Red Virginia Cavendish taste that tired my buds quite quickly. First puffs were great but my last 4oz order will take a long time to go through. Read Less

A bit deceiving...
March 09, 2015
Product: Cornell & Diehl Autumn Evening Bulk
The pouch note warmed my heart... very strong and sweet, reminiscent to me of pancakes and bacon with some Aunt Jemima syrup. However, this is a bit deceiving. I didn't get much flavor, just slightly sweet, for the first half, then more ashy and bitt... Read More
er the second half of the bowl. The room note was very pleasant though, and it stayed lit well - better than most aromatics I've tried. In a nutshell, smells wonderful in and out of the pipe, stays lit, but loses its flavor fast! Read Less
Product: Cornell & Diehl Autumn Evening 2oz
The first few times I tried this blend all I got was a hot, ashy smoke. Which was upsetting, based on previous reviews and most of all the tin note. This smells like sweet maple syrup at the pancake house. After a few more smokes I've discovered t... Read More
hat this tin does have some maple flavour, but it is very mild and more of a synthetic 'Aunt Jemima' taste. I had to gently sip this blend to get the flavour out. Anything more and this became a steamy, flavourless smoke. Slow smoking, good packing and this can provide a mild, sweet, mapley experience, but it's a little too much work for such minimal rewards for me. Read Less
Loved the Free sample! But it's better in bulk!

number three, it started to lose its appeal and flavor, went from nice and hearty, to bitey, to bland, and the bulk version is only slightly better, no longer care for it anymore, only good if bought in bulk an ounce at a time.

Half Pleasant!
June 20, 2014
Product: Cornell & Diehl Autumn Evening Bulk
From the pouch, this blend has a very prominent maple aroma, along with an astringent sour note. Odd. When you start smoking, you get beautiful flavours of light virginias, maple, and pancakes (!). A very mellow smoke. I also found very pleasant bitt... Read More
er coffee/chocolate notes on the finish. It peaks with nice soft vanilla/oak flavours, and is very nicely balanced. Burns beautifully when treated with respect, and is a sipper if you truly want to appreciate the flavours. Quite honestly, this is one of the best aromatics I've ever had... In the first half.. After that, all of those soft/delicate flavours get lost and the smoke becomes rather bland and bitter. Truly a shame. It WAS beautiful! Read Less
Not What I Was Expecting...
February 20, 2014
Product: Cornell & Diehl Autumn Evening 2oz
After reading reviews of a heavy maple flavoring and delicious pancakes, I decided to give this blend a go. The tin note is amazing! The maple is there and there is plenty of it. It was a bit moist right out of the tin, so I let a bit dry before load... Read More
ing it into a bowl. It took to light well. That, however, is all that this blend has going for it. Once my bowl was lit, I tasted no maple. None. All I tasted was a hint...and I do mean just a hint...of brown sugar. Somewhere in there, there might have been a smidgen of expired and crusty molasses…the type that no one wanted and has sat in the fridge for generations. Instead, I was greeted with puff after puff of fowl, char-tasting smoke. There was nothing pleasant about it and the aftertaste...well...don't even get me started. I figured it was a fluke, so I set about cleaning my pipe, waiting a day and giving it another go. Nope. No improvement whatsoever. Now, it could be I simply got a bad batch (bottom of the tin dated 12/12/2013). But, this will not be a blend I order, nor one I will EVER recommend. As it's my first experience with Cornell & Diehl blends...well...I just hope what I order by them in the future makes a better impression. Read Less
Отличный табак

Product: Cornell & Diehl Autumn Evening 2oz

нарезки, приятный на ощупь и в меру влажный, не требует разминания и дополнительной сушки. Подружился с табаком с первого раза, забивал в трубку с банки, горит отлично, вкус и запах неизменен на протяжении всей трубки, только под конец немного горчит. По вкусу дым из трубки напоминает молочную ириску. Желательно курить из одной трубки так как запах задержится надолго. Read Less
It' got maple
September 29, 2012
Product: Cornell & Diehl Autumn Evening 2oz
I do not want to give the impression that this blend taste bad. The flavor is pleasant. If you love pancakes smothered in a quart of maple syrup-you may love this stuff. It has a hint of tobacco flavor but, boy, it's got maple.
