Cornell & Diehl Vanilla Cavendish

Mild chill mix well

smooth, easy, mild.

I tried this during a P&C shootout against Lane vanilla. My initial preference was for the Lane, but then as I smoked through both, I decided I enjoyed the lighter-topped C&D better. Really nice aroma, and I received compliments from the neighbors as I was walking the dog. This has a tendency to be a drier tobacco and smokes "quick", but it very easy and a great all-day blend. Definitely grows on you over time.

This is a berry well made Cavendish pipe tobacco. The leaf is soft and sponge in the hand while being easy to fill your pipe up and go. The smell in your storage pouch is amazing. But the taste when lit is lacking. You get a nice pleasent Cavendish with no vanilla.

Picked up some on a battle between this vanilla and the lane vanilla. It smoked great but wasn't really flavorful. Room note was minimal. I'm going to mix it in with other flavors and will continue to smoke on it but prefer the Lane by leaps and bounds.

I think it's OK, but I really can't say it's the best vanilla I've smoked. I really don't think it's a cavendish, it seems to be more of a burl tobacco than cavendish. I wont be buying it again. Sorry! It's a 2-3 star in my book. Thank you.

This a hard smoking tobacco. It has a light flavor. But it works good a mix to other tobaccos like mint or cherry.

I was looking forward to trying another tobacco and like it's description it's a "smooth, easy smoking," but i didnt really notice much vanilla in it. It smokes well; although a little fast, down to a small bit of grey ash. Compaered to other vanilla's, its a good tobacco, but just wasn't quite what I like. I think I'm sticking with Lane's 1Q and Sutliff's 1M or some BCA for now.

Burns to fast

i love this stuff! don't ask me to do stuff like rate the subtle nuances, the flavors, the hint of this and that......can't. but i like the taste, the wife likes the aroma and it's very reminiscent of a tobacco i used 40 years ago called "paisley" from s shop in stockton, ca. which i loved. and of course they're gone.

By no means an expert and certainly have a flexible pallet, but I could not finish one packing. Had to throw it away.
