Cornell & Diehl Espresso

This mild to medium flavored Cornell & Diehl tobacco features a mixture of unsweetened Black Cavendish and a portion of their Green River Vanilla blend which contributes the significance of fire cured Burley. To solidify this stodgy recipe’s premier flavor, a distinctive top-note of brazenfaced coffee has been generously infused, and then modishly joined by the augmentation of quieting soothful cream. Designed for those discreet pipers who selectively fancy the unique experience of a coffee-centric aromatic, Espresso renders a concentrated shot of brewed smoking delight.

This tobacco combines a nice bite that is somewhat like espresso coffee while also remaining mild - it provides a good balance to other C&D blends like Apricots and Cream or Irish Blessing.

Excellent!

not as good as I was hoping, excellent representation of the smell of roasted coffee with a hint of mocha but just not suited to my tastes. Still I am glad I tried it.

Great Flavored pipe tobacco

It’s a nice medium strength smoke with a dry slight white pepper? ish bite that I don’t like. Not much coffee taste at all.. but has a brownie nose to it. Mix a Cult Blood Red Moon in it for a cherry cordial taste.

Doesn’t smell or taste like coffee. A good name for this would be Oily Sweat Sock Brownies. HOWEVER, it tastes fantastic! In the bag, it’s oily, wet, and smells like old well worn sweat socks after a basketball game. The kind that would stick to the wall if you threw them at one. The smoking experience is one of fresh chocolate brownies just out of the oven! It maintains its chocolate flavor through the entire smoke. If you don’t dry this out it’s a definite wet smoke and leaves the goo in the bottom of your pipe. Great if your trying to color in a Meerschaum. Aside from that use, you can smoke it perfectly in a Falcon….or just let it dry out a bit before smoking. Overall, it’s a great smoke….just don’t be fooled into thinking its gonna taste like coffee or espresso.

Perfect. I don’t smoke many heavily flavored or topped tobacco. This however is a very enjoyable smoke and a favorite.

Love the flavor, mild, and the aromatic nice smell!

Great smoke. I was expecting a mostly coffee aroma. This has has a sweet coffee and cream taste to me. Very pleasant, very nice room note. If you like coffee and cream you will love ths!

It is rare for me to try other tobaccos. Cornell & Diehl Expresso is the only tobacco I smoke. It is a moist tobacco without a bit. It is also a tobacco that I can smoke for about an hour without having to relight it.

Nice smooth tobacco. Great for beginners.

Wonderful consistency, great aroma and room note. The flavor is perfect any time of day. I will definitely be back for more.

Excellent! It reminded me of Kahlua with a hint of chocolate. A nice indoor smoke, with a family-friendly room note. When it arrived, it was pretty moist and sticky, but still very smokeable that day.

Thought the depth wasn't reached.

Tried this flavor one time now I'm hooked. good job Cornell & on great flavors and tobacco loyal customer now.

This Espresso is a feel-good tobacco. It's great by itself. I put it on top of a Norwegian Virginia base and it tastes that way. I'll have to try Russ' version though because that has chocolate! This espresso is creamy, vanilla custard type of rich in the Cornell Diehl. Not buttery but more vanilla creme.

I tried this tobacco as well as Peter Stokkebye"s Black Coffee and I prefer C & D Expresso because it is so smooth and doesn't burn my mouth as did the PS Black Coffee. Both however had a nice taste.

Absolutely perfect smoke, hands down. This particular batch was outstanding. I hope to god whatever he did with this batch he wrote it down. Some might want to lay it out on a sheet for just a few hoyrs to air dry a bit, then re—bag it.

Absolute perfection. Best stuff ever inhaled by a human being. Lay it out on a paper for a couple hours then rebag it. This batch is excellent.

I wanted something completely different than what I normally smoke. This tobacco was a bit moist but when you get it packed down to smoke it’s so flavorful... I recommend you try it if you want a dark, rich flavor...

Arrived a bit wet and goopy. I would recommend it be dried out before smoking to avoid steam bite. The coffee taste is well presented, and lasts all the way through the bowl. The black Cavendish offers perfect support. Although I haven't tried it, I would imagine this baccy would be great for also making custom blends

This is a great after dinner smoke,nice aroma smokes cool and has a good espresso flavor.

Looking for a tobacco to pair with your favorite coffee drink? This is it! This is my morning/breakfast tobacco.

Hi, I just received this tobacco the other week.... I love it....very good aroma and taste...I am very fond of Black Based tobaccos and will be buying this again...it's GREAT !

I'm a big fan of black Cavendish and there are some good ones and then there are the others. I love this stuff! Smooth burning, no bite at all, wonderful nose and a great room note. I have put in two bulk orders now and they're both consistently very good. Strong coffee aroma at the bag but milder on the smoke. One of my very favorite tobaccos right now. This can be an all day smoke.

Smooth, creamy, thick and sweet. The aroma is fantastic and you can even taste a hint of caramel that I'm not sure was supposed to be there but it adds the already wonderful espresso/coffee taste and smell. I wasn't sure I would like this at first because I'm a bit of a snob when it comes to coffee , but wow! It's great !

Very well done medium blend. Came too dry, so had to hydrate a little. No bite, flavor comes through...sweet and coffee. 5 stars if Moisture was right.

I really liked this tobacco smoked alone. But mixing it with Lane 1-Q 50:50 really got things going on! Good smoke, alone or mixed!

I'm a new smoker and perhaps I don't understand the properties of the different tobaccos available. This tobacco seemed extremely dry. I definitely prefer a softer, more moist product.

The blend was not to bad,however I'm not sure I would buy it again.It just didn't blow me away.

very happy
