This is a good blend for aromatic lovers who enjoy fruity flavors. Just smoke it slowly and let the magic happen. Don't force it.

I don't like aromatics. Tried many, and didn't like them. But this one is a lovely blend! Tastes natural, has pleasant room note, balanced sweetness, burns well. Delicious! I'm really glad I gave it a try!

This is a very cool and flavorful smoke! Packs well, burns great! The flavor lasts from start to finish, and leaves me with a satisfied feeling.I encourage all to try this tobacco mixture. The old saying holds true "Father Knows Best".
Not Your Average Aromatic

Product: Cornell & Diehl Founding Fathers Bulk
I bought this out of sheer curiousity. Pomegranate and tobacco? It couldn't be good, but I had to find out.
I was wrong. It is good. Not only is it unique, it's actually a little puzzling just how good it is.

ten, but when I do, this is one I reach for often. Unlike a lot of aromatics where the flavoring seems to burn off a few minutes into the bowl, the subtle flavor really stays with this one. It burns well, and it's truly a joy to smoke. Read Less
Product: Cornell & Diehl Founding Fathers Bulk
Founding Fathers is an easy to smoke blend that isn't harsh, just a hint of sweet fruit and pleasant aroma. It doesn't smoke thick or overpowering like many aromatics I've tried, it's much better in my opinion. A new favorite to add to the list.
Sweet!!!

Product: Cornell & Diehl Founding Fathers Bulk
Very mild and good taste blend. It is sweet but not too sweet, is just perfect. The taste is like a mix of vanilla, honey and damask, very well balanced. It leaves a discrete and sweet after taste. If smoked slowly, it is cool and has no bite.It is a... Read More

This is mild and pleasingly flavor. No bite. Room smoke not strong. Less tongue build-up than some others. Came back to buy quantity...

I love aros, but this tobacco tastes like a cigar. A cigar which was casually discussing fruit around last september.

Excellent aromatic
February 09, 2018
Product: Cornell & Diehl Founding Fathers Bulk
This is not a heavily flavored aromatic, which I really appreciate. The subtle smell of pomegranate makes this blend very enjoyable, without overpowering the tobaccos. It’s a great change of pace in the rotation. Well worth giving this a try if you’r... Read More

cy, "NEWMINSTER" 31 OPTIMAL CHOICE, WILL BE RIGHT UP YOUR ALLEY, give it a try, similar flavour and nose, cased slightly more and just as enjoyable, you would spend much more trying to find a tinned variety any where near as good, when you have tried these two, write a review and let me know the tin to get that's better, leave you to it, much enjoyment awaits, kind regards from Adelaide, Australia.

Berry Nice
September 11, 2018

Good aromatic with little bite. Nice smoke that burns well and is very ... berry ... no that should be in uppercase "BERRY" not goopy sweet but a very berry, fruity smoke.
Pretty decent all round.
Slow & Steady

I'm still learning to smoke this one, but when I smoke it slow, it's very rewarding. The pomegranate is noticeable. Almost a non-aromatic & I definitely prefer aromatics, but this is good.
Forbidden fruit?
June 24, 2018
Product: Cornell & Diehl Founding Fathers Bulk
A name invoking American independence is always good for an American style aromatic like this, but having sampled it, all I can think of is the forbidden fruit of the underworld. The “exotic fruit” in question here is the Pomegranate which you can sm... Read More
ell in the tin note. If you'll get out your Mythology 101 textbooks and turn to page...you'll remember that was the fruit that trapped Persephone in the underworld. I'm sure it is perfectly safe for smoking; I have yet to get stuck in the underworld and I'm pretty sure she was already in the underworld when those rules applied. Patriotic imagery and Greek mythology aside, this is a well blended mixture for those who enjoy a bright and fruity tastefully sweetened Burley. The pomegranate taste marries nicely with the natural flavors and isn't top heavy. Founding Fathers features C&D's quality leaf and blending expertise and is neither too sweet nor too moist. The Black Cavendish successfully gives the bold Burley a gut-punch bringing them eye level with each other within the mix. The cut is nothing special but packs and lights good for an aro. The flavors are inconsistent in a good way, each taking turns rolling in and out randomly. There's good complexity here for so few components. This blend should please aromatic fans unless you can't stand pomegranates. I enjoy a slightly complex aromatic and this one pleases. I enjoy Founding Fathers in the Springtime, but I'm sure it's a year-round favorite for others. Enjoy. Read Less
Dry & Harsh
March 24, 2016
Product: Cornell & Diehl Founding Fathers Bulk
Given its lofty name, I had high expectations for this blend. None were met & it required addition of black cav to finish 2 oz. I was left with the impression that pomegranate is a very unsuitable condiment for pipe tobacco.
Great, Pleasant Aromatic

Product: Cornell & Diehl Founding Fathers Bulk
I’ve been maturing this for over two years - oh my what a pleasant smoke. The jar aroma is most pleasing - sort of a woodsy chocolate aroma with a sweet fruit over-tone. Packed and lit well in my vintage Calebresi brandy pipe. Flavor remains througho... Read More
ut the bowl - a warming almost Christmas spice flavor (IMO). The room note is a pleasant but, not too sweet fruity nut. I will continue to smoke more of this for certain - no bite, period. Order a little extra and let it mature for an amazing experience. Read Less
Pleasant Room Note
September 03, 2019
Product: Cornell & Diehl Founding Fathers Bulk
I am not a aromatic smoker, my last order I included several to try, this being one and one I was looking forward to try based on the positive reviews. First off, the Black Cavendish and Burley are quality. Flavoring was a bit chemical initially to m... Read More
y palette, however about halfway into the bowl I did get a very nice flavor which tasted more like the natural flavor of Pomegranate. I hesitate with aromatics not knowing if artificial ingredients are being used. The jury is still out on this flavoring. It does not state it is a natural flavoring. Surprisingly, once lit this tobacco stayed lit to the bottom of the bowl.
Room note is a winner. Overall I'm very pleased but not crazy about this aromatic. This is my first impression, and will update if I have a change of opinion after smoking a few more bowls.
After another bowl, the flavor just tastes chemical to me. Now, it may be the finest natural Pomegranate flavor but my taste buds are picking up something else.
I do smoke Nutty Irishman and with this there is the flavor of Frangelico and Irish Mist...nothing artificial in the flavor. Read Less

I always keep this around. It's very pleasant and easy to smoke. I definitely taste some chocolate and fruit.
Decent, but

Product: Cornell & Diehl Founding Fathers Bulk
This has a nice fruit taste that I enjoy, the tobacco tastes nice, but man is it wet. This doesn't have the strongest flavors, and requires quit a but of drying before, and be sure to smoke it slow.
