Cornell & Diehl Burley Flake No. 1

This is a terrific blend! It has a great smooth mouth feel. A nice amount of a mellow spiciness on the retrohale. If you're looking to try a burley blend this is the one. If you are already into burley blends you will enjoy this one. I highly recommend picking up a tin.

Not bad. Smokes well and has enough strength to satisfy.

Quickly delivered and just what I ordered...The stock is extensive and there is something for every smoker's taste

This is my desert island smoke, if I could only have one for the rest of my life. Hands down the best smoke you can get time and time again. Strong nicotine punch and flavor that pairs very well with coffee or bourbon.

A sweet burley blend that smells a bit like baking coco in the tin, and has a pleasant natural tobacco (but not a cigarette) smell in the room. Satisfyingly high nicotine content. A good smoke.

This is by far my favorite Burley blend. It has enough sweetness to smooth the rough edges of the burleys, but also to allow them to shine through with their mostly earthy flavor. I know a lot of folks have already said this, but you can take that as meaning it's true, and it is. I urge anyone to try this blend. If you're a Burley lover then it will definitely satisfy, if you're not a Burley fan.... well, then it just might change your mind. I mean it. Buy a tin right now, I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

Would buy again.

The presentation of the tobacco is more like a broken flake. Thin slices of red and brown tobacco with the buttery scent of burley and the subtle sweetness of the virginias coming through. Packing was simple. After the charring light, the strength of the tobacco immediately makes its presence known. As the bowl progresses, so does the subtle spice of the perique. The nut butter of the burley covers the virginias nicely, but not so much that the sweetness is completely muted. My other piper friend couldn't stand the taste or the strength. I liked the strength, but I'm coming to find burley forward tobaccos take some getting used to, but they are worth the time to get to know. I really enjoy the pure tobacco taste of this blend. but I've had other burley blends, but this is for sure the strongest. I think the strength of this puts Irish Flake and Royal Yacht in the dust. It's something to experience for itself. I've been mixing this with GL Pease's Navigator to give that already strong tobacco a little more punch. Worth a try if you like strong tobacco! this for me is a perfect after dinner smoke. I'm pretty nicotine resistant, so if you're not, make sure to have this on a full stomach. This flake is straight tobacco with no chaser!

The good is it's 10 note/room note is pleasant, the taste is pleasant; however the nicotine content is very high which for me it kicked my butt a little bit. I still like it though and recommend it.

I purchased this particular tobacco in search of a rich strong burley smoke. I am glad to say I wasn't disappointed at all! To me, it has a rich burley taste, like chocolate or oatmeal or nutiness. The virginia and perique are a nice condimental addition. I normally smoke Old Joe Krantz and Five Brothers alternately throughout the day. I usually reserve this one for my evening smoke before bed time. Its pretty stout and strong. However, its just a nice smoke to relax and enjoy and contemplate on things. So, yes, I give this five stars. Its a good one if you like rich burleys with a strong rich flavor. Nicatine content is on par as well. Another job well done by Cornell and Diehl!

Oh my. Strong nicotine hit in a very tasty blend. Love it. The "flakes" are perfect for loading in a small bowl and squashing any desire for a cigarette. Doesn't bite when sipped. P&C are awesome. Blazing fast delivery.

I've just started smoking Burley blends, I generally smoke English or straight Virginia. Since I have so much respect for C & D I picked this up. Full flavored, bodied and strength with that nutty character Burley provides. I was caught off guard yesterday morning however. While walking my dog I smoked a bowl of this on an empty stomach. I don't recommend doing that at all. Now, my body has the DNA and makeup to handle Mr. Nic. With that said, if I'm suggesting eating something beforehand, you better do it! I recommend this to anyone who loves Burley. However, I'm sure the Burley lovers out there already know about this stuff.

Strong and easy to load pipe
