Cornell & Diehl Bailey’s Front Porch is an excellent example of the American/English genre of pipe tobacco. The flavor is predominantly Burley and the Virginia adds just enough sweetness to keep it from becoming bitter. Then the Latakia and Perique kick in to give the blend depth and character. Reminiscent of many old-time blends, C&D's Bailey's Front Porch is rich and satisfying.
This is quite simply my favorite tobacco. A little background: I am not a cigarette-refugee so I have no temptation to inhale; I smoke fast and wet and I am no connoisseur of the various tobacco varieties, though I smoke non-aromatics exclusively. The Tobacco itself runs a little dry, but that is no fault. It plays to my smoking style. The nicotine hit is powerful, bite is minimal. This is true regardless of bowl size or pipe shape, and I recommend this tobacco for those who suffer from tongue-bite. When I can’t get this tobacco I despair of finding another suitable tobacco, though believe me, I have searched.
