Cornell & Diehl Bayou Morning

Delicious! Virginia with sweetness and depth, together with everything you love about Perique. No bite whatsoever. If you’re on the fence about VAPer’s, this will get you off the fence. Thanks, C&D and P&C! Keep ’em coming.

A heaping serving of Perique, but still not to much. The Virginia’s make it very palatable, but only if you like Perique. It contains a slight sweetness, naturally not added. A good natural smoke, I can smoke it all day, wonderful amount of nicotine, not to much or too little. It’s flavor doesn’t wear out its welcome, the way most flavored tobaccos do. I almost forgot to say, No Tongue Bite.

I have been smoking pipes for a number of years, mostly English blends, first dunhill and then Peterson releases of early morning, nightcap, 965, and Elizabethan. I have recently been trying more and more straight Virginia blends as well as VaPers. I ordered an ounce of this thinking there was no way that something so inexpensive could be as good as the more pricey options out there. I was gladly proven wrong! For someone who loves ribbon cut tobacco, good Virginias, and VaPers, I will definitely be adding this to my regular rotation, and gladly saving money! I would pick this over Elizabethan any day.

For me this blend is nicely balanced. Very spicy/peppery from the Perique and just the right amount of body and sweetness from the Virginias. I make it a habit to have a bowl a day !

Haunted Bookshop or OJK in the morning with coffee and Bayou morning at night with some cold beers. Sums up happiness for me!

It's just a tobacco I can't do without. If you are a Perique lover like me yo will love this blend. The flavor is perfect for a perique heavy tobacco. One of my all time favorites. The Aroma is not bad from what I hear.

So Good!

I have tried both the Cornell & Diehl Bayou Morning and Bayou Morning Flake. I find the Bayou Morning to be a little bit lighter but I still get the good Virginia sweetness and the spice and flavor of the perique. It is a good all day smoke!

Love the flake. Smokes great. Love the blend. Twice I have ordered the already rubbed out version, not the same. I am a fan of this blend just not pre rubbed

This is a super smooth and light smoke without a lot notes, so more of a quick pipe or on the go. Morning is a good time for this with tea or something else light. Nice to have in my rotation but not something I crave. Smoke it slow or you will get some tongue bite. Room notes are not overly strong and you pick up the tobacco and slight sweet.

To be honest I bought this while missing the part about how much perique was involved. Needless to say it was a bit of an eye opener for the morning but worth it. This is an adventure I would probably buy again.

I liked from tin as it was still flake. In bulk it was ribbon cut again not the same flavor.

Love this blend

Delicious and smooth. Just the right amount of perique.

My first experience with a VaPer, and I like it. Good flavor, not at all pungent as I expected from other descriptions, no bite, an appreciable nick-hit. I will definitely buy this again, as well as other VaPers for comparison.

Really pleasant and easygoing VaPer. Great with a cup of coffee. Take your time and enjoy it slowly.

Pretty good

Great taste and choice for pipe beginners like myself. Go for it without hesitation!

PERIQUE.... A bit of a novelty. I like it alot but it is not for the faint of heart. Peppery and complex. Strong blend. You need to try this at some point just to get the feel of a 25% perique blend. Not an every day smoke for most people but a good blend.

I really like C&D's Exclusive and I buy it in bulk. But this blend is even better! I will be buying a lot more of this in the future.

Excellent taste and flavor , not harsh , not overwhelming , good anytime of the day smoke .

Spicy notes.

It's just ok. I cellared the whole pound I bought so hopefully it ages well. If not, I'll probably just give it away. Nothing to write home about.

Good rich flavor with a kick

This is by far one of my favorite VaPers in the morning with a cup of strong coffee. I highly recommend this to anyone. Also available in a flake, which is my personal favorite way to enjoy a VaPer.

This is my almost every morning with coffee. It is one of those blends that Just feels right with my morning ritual. Highly recommend

This is one of my favorite go to, but my brick and mortar store quit carrying it, I was thrilled to find it here and it was cheaper to boot! Win, win! Thanks J.P.

Excellent tobacco, very pleased with the flavor. Smooth smoke and very pleasant aroma.

Very enjoyable smoke. First time with VaPer. Not an all day tobacco, but great change of pace from my usual aromatics and English blends. Will purchase again. Have dedicated pipe to thoroughly enjoy

Usually a big burley smoker but I’ve been trying different vapers and haven’t found one to get excited about until bayou morning, the periique did it for me! Good stuff!!

very affordable, nice flavor, very good smoke first thing in the morning with a good cup of coffee

Straight virginia... Nice, but a little boring.

Being from the Bayou State of Louisiana this is a perfect description. Nice light spice, easy smoke with a great cup of coffee in the morning, Ça C'est Bon !!

Very enjoyable VaPer. Great mixture of sweet Virginia and spicy Perique. Keeping this one in my rotation.

My everyday favorite smoke! I love everything about Bayou Morning. The aroma is amazing for a non aromatic, the moisture level couldn’t be any better. It’s a cool smoke that satisfies on every level. Plenty amount of vitamin-n, too. Best VaPer on the market.

Great! Wasn't sure at first if I liked it, but it has become one of my favorites.

They was all good

been smoking this for years. room note smells like fresh roasted coffee. a few different flavors swirling around and makes for a medium length smoke. great stuff.

Super spicy and full flavored. I often mix it fifty-fifty with aromatics to give them a bit of a kick. Very little room note, and don't get it too hot, but this is a satisfying smoke. If you're looking for something bold, this is it.

Has become my go-to smoke.

Good tobacco just very singular with no discernable top note. If you like pure leaf then this will be right up your alley

Can be smoked right of the tin. A good all-day smoke, for hot, breezy days. Definitely has a taste of bright virginia's. If you aren't a fan of perique, I'd skip this gem. It has a lot of perique. I enjoy the peppery, mushroomy taste of perique. Burns well, stay's lit, doesn't get too hot, and has a clean, crisp taste. If you enjoy a stronger vapor, you'll enjoy this.

I have bought Cornell & Diehl Bayou Morning in the past an was very pleased with it. This order however, was very dry and the taste was stronger and had a bitterness that I hadn't experienced before. I'll have to put in a properly humidified container and try it again in a month or two and see if that improves the smoke

Good Smoke Fair Price

Great stuff. Perfect strength. Doesn't bite. I try to always have some on hand.

This my go to smoke. Nice amount of vitamin N but a nice mellow smoke.

I admit that I first was attracted to this because I am from the bayou country, but this is definitely my favorite Va Per blend. It is nice alone but also blends well with other tobaccos to give a bit more nicotine where it is lacking. The flake is sweet and interesting, but the bulk is perhaps a bit more "pure".

As a Perique-Freak, I'm happy with Bayou Morning. But, I'm always pleasantly surprised by the sweet Virginias in this blend. They don't just hide in the background.

Excellent VaPer blend: Fresh bread taste with a spicy, sweet kick that's just right. Easy to pack, and a pleasure to smoke. You can't go wrong with Bayou Morning ribbon cut.

Sweetness on the tongue and a nice pepper retrohale. The bottom half gives earthy perique goodness. Burns exceptionally well and is the best VaPer for the money out there IMHO!

Bayou morning is alittle to much peroce for me iw ill blend in some va with it

Great with the morning coffee, but not for the faint of heart. I’m too much of a rookie for a more in depth review than that. It’s my first foray into Perique.

For those who enjoy Vaper blends, this is one to try. Burns nicely, no tongue bite, and a good, earthy aroma and flavor.

This my daily smoke. The best VaPer I have found.

Flavor and aroma is fairly nice but it gives me a bite. The perique content is too high for me therefore I rate it of three points.

Smooth taste burns a little faster than I would like but overall a very pleasing smoke

It has been my experience that some Virginia blends have a bit of tongue bite, due in part, no doubt to the sugar content of the leaf. That is most certainly not the case with Cornell & Diehl's "Bayou Morning." This is a VA/Per blend for the pipe enthusiast who wants something in between an English/Balkan blend, and an aromatic blend. It is in my opinion a good, all day smoke. I thought so from the first time I tried it. I'll be ordering this again.

When I first tried this blend I thought it was a bit sharp but after about a week it quickly became my favorite Va/Per. It has the perfect amount of Perique and is an excellent morning smoke in the hot Summer months.

When I first got this blend I thought it was rather bland without much strength. I was hoping for some stimulating perique strength. So I put it away for a while, not intending to age just put it aside. About a week or two later I pulled it out again figuring it would be a good drive to work smoke since it was a little on the light side. Well, 20 minutes into my commute it kicked in right square in the pit of my stomach. POW. Just what I was looking for. When I first opened the tin I just rubbed some out and it smoked rather well since it was moist to the touch in the beginning. I do know now that a bit of drying time does it well. But it can be smoked right away too if ya don't want to wait. smells nice tastes ok, and a fair amount of that perique kick. A strong 3 1/2 stars here

Bayou Morning is everything as stated. An all day smoke, burns well and gives good flavor from start to finish. I have tried it in several different pipes, consistently pleasing.

This just an OK English blend. Needs a little more Latakia for me.

This is a very smooth smoke despite the large amount of perique allegedly in the blend. Highly recommend if you are trying to get into "vapers".

If you are a Va/Per lover or interested in a change up from your regular blends this is the one! From light up to finish the red Virginia's and the spicy Perique stay in mix. A tasty treat for every pipe smoker. Thumbs up on this one from C&D!

I tried this out of curiosity about Perique. And it had a high rating. I had tried a few other perique blends and found them tolerable. I usually stick to mild aromatics and cavedishes. This was just too much for me. I should have paid attention to the words "rich and robust" in the description. This is some strong stuff.

I smoked this blend after smoking my pipe 6 times yesterday. And Holey Moly it about burned my Tung of. So, not being one to come to first impression, I decided to read the reviews. Glad I did. One of the reviews said not to pack it hard. So thank you whoever you are, because this is really a good tobacco. Like yesterday I smoked it after smoking 5 other blends. So by not packing it tight. It did not get my pipe Hot and did not Bite! I will defiantly keep this on hand. I'm on my 2nd pipe full now. I have two blends I always put on my order, this might just be the third. it's that good!!

I was looking for something different and my son suggested I try it. Normally I smoke Balkan and Old English tobaccos. This is close, but different enough that it provides a little bit different experience. Very nice and enjoyable smoke...

Excellent VaPer! Bayou morning is medium bodied with notes of dried fruit, earth, red and black pepper, and a general sweetness. As long as you are careful with packing your pipe, it shouldn't bite; however, I noticed that the only time it bit was when the pack was too tight. That is really the only problem I had with this course cut blend; it seemed really easy to over pack a pipe compared to other cuts. Since I am a fan of VaPers and lat blends, I could use this as an all day smoke. It goes well with a mild IPA or medium brewed coffee. Nicotine hit was normal. Don't let the 25% perique scare you away; this blend maybe spicy, but it is smooth. Highly recommend it!

Straight out of the bag it was nice. As the bowl burned down, however, the perique really came through. Nice change of pace.
