Cornell & Diehl Oriental Silk is a different kind of blend made of a healthy dose of sweet Virginias wedded to some excellent Turkish tobacco and rounded out with Perique, rather than the expected Latakia. The result is rich and hearty with a nice tang. People who enjoy sweet and earthy flavors with a bit of spice will love C&D's Oriental Silk.
I love this blend. Mildly sweet with richness added from the orientals. Nicely spicy note from the perique. I could this with chai tea which to me accentuates the perique!

Great, Unserrated Stuff
Sep 27, 2018
This is my go to blend, it's incredible stuff. The flavors of the Orientals dominate wit the Virginia being secondary and the Perique in the background. That being said, it's an incredibly well balanced blend and is a great all day smoke, esp for anyone that loves the flavor of Orientals.

Amazing

Amazing. This is, quite honestly, the best bulk blend I've ever had. It's smooth, cool, and flavorful, and the spice from the perique and orientals is absolutely perfect. I think I've found my new all day smoke.

It had the flavors I was looking for. It is very reminiscent to DEMP.

Milder than Orion's Arrow, a great occasional smoke
May 20, 2017
To me this is a gentler version of Orion's Arrow, which I like. It's smooth, the Turkish does not overpower the Virginia, and the Perique is background.
I'm an occasional Turkish smoker, but mostly a VaPer guy, so this blend is a good halfway point to getting some Turkish in your life once in a while.

A complete delight. Quickly is turning to my go-to-tobacco. Apparently, I like Perique. :)

Best Oriental ...Ever
Mar 29, 2016
Exotic, musty, slightly pungent, and kind of herbal; this is a delicious blend with a sweet tobacco flavor and a very slight woody finish. The Perique works well in the mix without upstaging the complex flavors of the Orientals. No Latakia.

Beautiful!

Absolutely love this stuff. Virginia sweetness is fortified by the natural sweetness and aromatic nature of the Turkish and Perique. One of the best of this genre
