[arabpipesmoker]

I was straggling yesterday to close my TDA from P&C where I have done successfully but not in the way o wanted.

I always wanted to try few Cornel & Diehl Tobacco but not knowing what to order which will be up to my taste, i went here to contact captin Bop seeking for advise but couolden't find his name within member list.
I love to know your recommendation to few C&D tobacco for my next TDA and my preference are:

Non aromatics

Strong to medium in flavor as I smoked FM on the Bayou

Strong to medium in N vitamin

Love Verginas as I smoked (Davidoff royalty and Dunhill 965)
For my yesterday TDA I have ordered

GLP Lagonda

GLP Triple Play

GLP Cairo

GLP JackKnife ready

SG 1792 Flake

SG Full Verginas

SG Squadron Leader

5OZ from Mississippi Revier
Thanks folks

You got some nice picks there already. I personally haven't had the pleasure of sampling any C&D. One I would add to your list is Plumb Cake by H&H nice flavorful and good nic hit for me.

C&D is like a candy store for the variety of blends they offer. I'm a big fan and always have a buch of their stuff around. For something different look at their Mississippi Mud- it's dark as midnight and a nice blend. I just got Crooked Lane- if you like English blends this is their newest and very good. Epiphany is close to the original Revelation, which was an old fave of mine in college.

If you go to their web site you can download their entire list which is organized by style and very descriptive. They do a great job with burley/Va blends and their tobaccos are almost always ready to smoke right from te can. They don't like to ship water and, to my knowledge, do not use PG on their tobaccos.

Good luck.

When I smoked English blends, C&D Bayou Night used to be a favorite, along with Plantation Evening and Star of the East.

My favorite C&D blends are Montford Point Marine, Bow Legged Bear and daVinci.
Montford is some strong and heavy stuff, very robust and will creep up on you in the nic department. daVinci is about as heavy latakia as you can get without just flat out smoking it straight. Bow Legged Bear is a great complex english cake but I haven't smoked it in a long time. I have a tin aging away to be opened soon.
Other than Blockade Runner, I've never been let down by any of their blends.

I, personally, like Blockade Runner. It's a VA cake that alleges to be soaked in rum but I have never tasted the rum. I just received an oz of C&D's Three Friars and, although I havn't smoked the whole oz at this point, I went to bed craving it (so that must be a good sign!). I also really like their Burley Flake #3.
These are the three C&D's I have had, all of them contain VA, and I would recommend trying them.

Many thanks gent's,

great choices will keep it in mind and let you know when smoked ..... Hope it came soon

I like the Sunday Picnic , the Bow legged Bear and Exhausted Rooster . There are many who rave about Haunted Bookshop if you want it strong .

My favorite C&D blend is Two Friends Heritage. It is the only tobacco smoked by Craig Tarler (CEO of C&D). It was created by Craig and GL Pease in 1999. It is a wonderful Virginia blend with only a "kiss" of Plum flavor. It tastes like a Virginia Flake in a traditional cut. Give it a try and see what you think. In my rotation of my own C&D blends, it always has a place that is very special to me.
