Cornell & Diehl - Bayou Morning (I Like)

[Humblepipe]

I have been trying non-aromatics for the past few weeks or so and enjoying the journey. I just smoked some Cornell & Diehl - Bayou Morning this evening and have to say it's my new favorite. I guess it is a Virginia/Perique blend. Any recommendations for my next step on the journey to enjoying non-aromatics? Thanks briar brothers!

relatively easy to get and great:

English:

Seattle Pipe Club Plum Pudding
GL Pease Maltese Falcon
Arango/Stokkebye Balkan Supreme
Peterson (Dunhill) Nightcap
Boswell Northwoods

VA:

GL Pease Union Square
Capstan Blue
C and D Carolina Red Flake
Samuel Gawith Full Virginia Flake


There are some great ones that are tougher to get (Esoterica English blends, McClelland VAs, etc.) and plenty more great ones that are easy to get, but those are a good place to start.

Some fine options! Enjoy!

One thing I will say is there is a lot of variety within those blend types, so if one you got doesn’t suit your fancy, jar it and try it in a few months. In the meantime order a couple other English and VA blends to try some different ones. There is a lot of different stuff out there, so don’t judge a category by one blend!

I made the mistake of writing off VAs when I first started because the first one I had SUCKED ASS! Now they are some of my favorite blends.

Thanks. I’ll keep this in mind. I like variety and options, so this strategy is right down my alley.

Good picks. I'd add some GL Pease to your must try list list. Westminster, Blackpoint, or Quiet Nights are all great English/Balkans worth exploring. Haddo's Delight is also one of Pease's classics. It's categorized as a VaPer but that description doesn't really do it justice. It's pretty unique.

I’ll be coming back to this thread for weeks to come. Over time, I’m going to try a little of everything mentioned here. Fun! Thanks so much.

Try Bayou Night as well if you want a good Nic hit. It’s a burley perique blend.

I'm also a fan of Bayou Morning. Two blends of the same genre (Va/Per), that I like, but that are a bit more subtle are Dunhill (now Peterson) Elizabethan Mixture and GL Pease Stratford.

Back then, when I still was smoking Englisch blends, my favourites were Dunhill (now Peterson) Nightcap and MacBaren Vintage Syrian, which is now out of production.

Bayou morning is one of my favourites. If you can I suggest letting some of it have uninterrupted jar time. The perique mellows into a figgy flavour and the “rough edges” smooth out. It goes from very good to great

I'm also branching out from aromatics. I'll add Bayou Mornings to my list. Quiet Nights already on the way from SP. Bookmarking this thread as a tool to further enable TAD.

Let me know which tobaccos resonate with you. We can compare notes, since we are basically in the same place on this journey...

And don’t forget the Savinelli Doblone D’ Oro?

if you haven't tried university flake yet I really highly recommend that one. I'd say it's a wide spectrum Virginia. It seems to have a wide range between lighter and darker Virginias and then some other leafs some a little rarer. It's interesting and super tasty. Oh and it's the one that started my shift from mostly smoking aromatics to more tobacco forward blends (now it's one aromatic to every five non-aro, before Univesity Flak it was the other way round.), so basically I like that one a lot, and would say there is a good chance you will too ( cause it's really tasty.)
Forgot to add also anything that just really grabs your fancy (even if it's just the tin art is just really cool, never hurts to have good tin art.)
