More Details |
Cornell & Diehl Bayou Morning is a smooth smoke, made of the finest Virginias and Louisiana Perique. The blend has the sweetness one expects of Virginia with the dark fruit and spice note of Perique. It’s never overpowering, which makes it a go-to for morning, noon and night. Fans of Virginia/Perique blends will want to keep C&D's Bayou Morning in their rotation.
This is a good quality blend. Has some chocolate plum raisin notes from the tin with an exceptional taste. It hints of chocolate and raisins but stays pretty mild throughout. I do not consider this a very stout blend. It packs easy with small cut ribbon pieces and burns well to a fine ash.
You will have to be a lover of Perique to enjoy Bayou Morning. I don't think it's the best Va/Per, C&D makes, but it is nice. It's not complex in flavors at the beginning, but when the peppery fullness of the Perique starts kicking in, it makes the wait worthwhile.
Perique and Virginia, nothing more and certainly nothing less. Bayou Morning is an exceptionally blended tobacco that I can easily recommended to any smoker who enjoys a generous portion of perique with their smoke.
