Cornell & Diehl's Epiphany is a classic Va/bur/Lat/Per English blend crafted after what was supposedly
Albert Einstein's favorite tobacco, Revelation. This review is entirely courtesy of twoonefive, who sent me
a jar full sample. I'd been wanting to try this for a year or more, but just never got the order done. If you
like English blends, you know you're going to enjoy this one at first sniff, that lively balance between tobaccos,
with plenty of Latakia and Perique, but not a Lat killer nor Perique heavy either. It all comes through pleasingly,
with the Virginia taking the lead, with a light new mown hay scent, but everything else chiming in, in a robust
chorus. This can go as an all-day smoke, but is sturdy enough to serve as an after-dinner blend as well. Like
most C&D blends, it is artfully worked out to give you several layers of flavor and some change as you go through
the bowl. Most English lovers will enjoy it. It's not quite so quiet as Fox and Hound, nor quite as edgy as 965,
but has its own vivid charm. Another score for Cornell & Diehl.
