Cornell & Diehl Tobacco - Recommendations?

[Bbailey324]

I've been enjoying Chenet's Cake a lot recently. Smoking some now in fact.

The tin of CRF w/ Perique I opened 10 days or so ago is about empty. This one isn't a regular production blend so not readily available.

Winchester is a good one as well.

Red Odessa is a good blend with some Latakia.

Looks like you already have your hands full. Many recommended and i could keep the list going, but what's the point? You could always man up and just order them all. :P

 

[VDL_Piper]

A must try and one of my personal favourites is Exhausted Rooster.

 

[1stPersonSmoker]

I like Haunted Bookshop, Old Joe Krantz, Billy Budd Blonde, also regular Billy Budd, Burley Flake #4 (or any of the Burley Flakes, also Espresso(as a black cavendish for blending.)

I think you should try Founding Fathers. It's an aromatic burly. It's to my tastes split right down the middle. It's half aromatic half really good burly. What kind of burly? The kind that has that cigar note but in a pretty mild way. I think it's one of their most under rated blend. It's pomegranate but that mixes better with the tobacco then one might think it would. I like how I can focus on which end is most appealing to me at the moment. Think tobacco and that pops out, think fruit and the aromatic pops out. It's a pretty straight forward and agreeable blend. Oh that's another thing it's one of those few aromatics that doesn't want to bite.

My top 5:

Sun Bear
Mad Fiddler
Founding Fathers
Oak Alley
From Beyond

Billy Budd and Bayou Morning are two of my favorites and they are both available in bulk. I love the high level of Perique in Bayou Morning. Im also experimenting with toning it down with added Virginia for those times when that suits my mood better.

 

[Hutch Piper]

Pegasus and Bayou Morning.

My first recc was going to be Dreams of Kadath, but since you're one step ahead, I'll second (third?) the vote for Crooner, and add an endorsement of Byzantium.

Byzantium is such a good, acquired taste. Great treat by a campfire or rainy afternoon l.

 

[Arkansas Paul]

I won't list off all the C&D blends that I like because as has already been said, they have a ton of different blends.
I will mention one because it's the only aromatic that I smoke.
Autumn Evening is very good. It's the one aromatic that you can still taste the tobacco.

Byzantium is such a good, acquired taste. Great treat by a campfire or rainy afternoon l.

I've a jar of "Mintzantium" now. Which is of course Byzantium seasoned with peppermint schnapps. I recall it being quite good a year or two ago, when I first experimented with flavoring off-the-shelf baccy.

Great recommendations. I was happy with Yorktown, but I can no longer buy from Europe to the US at the awesome smokingpipes store, so stock up while you can, my friend.

What about smokingpipes.eu?

 

[JackOrion]

Mad Fiddler. It’s a great cigar leaf blend. Plus it smells like cinnamon oatmeal. Actually I think I need to order a few tins myself. Thanks for the suggestion.

What about smokingpipes.eu?

It doesn't sell tobacco.

I will give another vote for Opening Night, a realky great straight Virginia supposedly all natural without topping or casing.

I was surprised how much I liked the 1oz sample of Granby Station I had. It's a Va/Bur/Cav flavored with a bit of Apple jack. I would never have guessed I'd be into an apple flavor (light) aro, but there it is. I have a half a pound inbound.

It doesn't sell tobacco.

I did not know that.

 

[JOHN72]

I did not know that.

A lovely shop, it has everything except tobacco. It's a shame though.

I'll add my vote for Pegasus. I was never a fan of Philip Morris' Bond Street, but I must admit that Pegasus has favorably impressed me to the point that the more of it I smoke, the better I like it!
