From the tin: "A heavy Latakia blend with white Burley ribbon, bright Virginia flake, and a good amount of rough-cut cigar leaf."

Watching these older vids and hearing the tin prices is starting to bum me out man.

In Australia, $98USD for a 1.75 Oz tin. All tobacco product here is taxed equally. Ouch!

This blend, for me anyway, feels like it wants to go and run away with heat but the large chunks of cigar leaf really cool it down. I'm impressed.

Great mixture. Tasted like a cigar, with a Latakia flavour to me, as opposed to a Latakia with a cigar flavour. I could taste the Virginia at times, as a subtle undertone, but the burley only showed up in the aftertaste . Excellent reading of the tin description too.

I remember living this blend. A decade or so ago i bought the 8oz can and smoked almost all of it. I still have 2oz in a Mason jar. Im looking forward to smoking it aged as soon as i rehydrate it a bit.

Planta's Full English is my smoke and it has Latakia and Java cigar leaves. You will taste both tobaccos, but you won't taste the Virginia tobacco. All the Virginia tobacco does is to make the blend smoke a little hotter than without it in the blend.

Thank You for this enjoyable and comprehensive review,good as always, I'd try this tobacco If the latakia was dropped off the blend, I'd be preferred Burley&CigarLeaf with some minor Virginiawould have been sufficient to me, Greets.P

I absolutely love this blend. It has a fantastic flavor, bold smokey, rich and full flavored. It really hits the spot. I wouldn't age a blend of these varietals. The flavor is best when a proper moisture level is maintained in the tobacco. If too dry, it smokes with frequent harsh spots and the cigar leaf is loud

Question for those who may know, do all Cornell & Diehl blends stay lit easily? I've only had OJK and Haunted Bookshop and they light like an OTC blend which I very much appreciate.

I’m a new pipe smoker and have been binging your reviews, and I have to ask - what is the song you use for your intro/outro? It’s stuck in my head and I want to listen to the whole thing lol Other than that, I enjoy the thoroughness of your reviews, even if I don’t quite understand everything yet.

Matt Tiufekchiev I'm pretty sure it's Bradley's band and an original song. And it's from some years back. He mentioned this in a video but it was only mentioned as an aside so I have no idea which video.

Hi. I have just bought my first pipe and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for good tobacco's for a beginner. Thanks, appreciate any help.
@stephenharrington4621 4 жыл бұрын
Cornell & Diehl alone have over 200 blends to choose from. Check out their website and look for a name that catches your eye. I would avoid blends with Latakia as a beginner as this type of tobacco is very strong (leather, campfire, barnyard) and may not smell very nice. Also, the Cornell & Diehl factory tour on KZfaq is very interesting and they talk about several of their popular brands. If you want something unique check out Stuff & Things review of Peterson deluxe Navy Rolls. Pressed into coin shape and smells good in the tin. Hope this helps

I bought an ounce of this tobacco to sample. I was a cigar smoker for many years and thought I'd enjoy this. I find that I struggle to finish a bowl of this blend. I should have known I wouldn't like it because I've never really like Maduro cigars. Anyone know of a pipe tobacco that uses Habano or Corojo leaf?
@pipesetc.5608 6 жыл бұрын
Owen Johnson L. J. Peretti uses Havana in their Blend 500.
@mu2freighter 6 жыл бұрын
Pipes, etc., I think I'll have to try that. The description of Billy Budd has never really appealed to me, but Blend 500 sounds more nuanced and therefore more interesting. A fair number of people seem well pleased with a number of the Peretti blends on Tobacco Reviews; I think ordering a bunch of the one ounce samplers could be a fun time. Thank you for bringing this up, I was unfamiliar with Peretti tobaccos.
@pipesetc.5608 6 жыл бұрын
Glenn Horowitz Glenn, I’m pleased my suggestion helped. I did exactly what you have suggested; buy a number of 1 oz bags of Peretti’s blends. I found a number I truly appreciate; Blend No. 52 👍, Cuban Mixture 👍, No. 8 Slice 👍👍, Blend 500 👍👍, British Blend 👍 & Tashkent 👍. Still working on the others... ✌️
